A typical gumbaru The Thinker's Agumbaru Corner
What to say -- I am really a pretty easygoing feller. I tolerate very many things, more so than most! And I rejoice in this attitude that I believe is a gift from the Lord! However (you knew that was coming, did you not?) there are some things that from time to time will rankle my ire to no small end! (That means annoy!) And henceforth instead of bursting perfectly good blood vessels I shall merely air my views here. Please note that I am susceptible to overlook political correctness, especially if I feel passionate about something here so rather than call you wanting in intellectual capacity, I'd be likely to call you a STUPID BUGGER

ARCHIVES
Due to pessure from all quarters to archive my stuff rather than just overwriting, and here I quite modestly quote "...you damn fool! How dare you delete the best damn stuff I've read in a while...", I shall (when I remember) archive my stuff before I delete it. Bon Appeit!

AGUMBARU KINGS & QUEENS!
Cool, calm and collected
One of our honourable members of the house
Without any hesitation of any kind, this award goes to all the ladies and gentlemen that are commonly known as Members of the Parliament of Kenya. I refuse to refer to them as honourable because by and large they are nothing remotely of the kind. It is becoming sickening the lengths these individuals will somersault in order to secure for themselves more and more benefits in the guise of serving the people. It is interesting that they forget the people that they are supposed to serve are the ones that put them into parliament in the first place and they are neglecting us at their own peril! Consider what these pillars of morality and integrity have done for themselves while in power:
Awarded themselves quite handsome salary and allowance increments that saw the most idle of them earning at least 450,000.
Suddenly realize that they are not safe from thugs, crooks, conmen and brigands (I suppose we are the ones who are) and decide to issue themselves bodyguards and firearms, all paid for by you.
Design for themselves an Insurance policy that guarantees benefits if they so much as cough from a common cold. This is again paid for by you my friend!
Again, with our money, forgetting that the 450,000 they are earning is quite enough, arrange for themselves a quite handsome mortgage arrangement that quite frankly baffles the very being in me!
While all these benefits are being awarded left right and center, these are the fellers that assure us very wistfully that they wished they had the funds to pay teachers, repair roads and other such things but there was simply no money. WASHINDWE!
When shameless buggers in checked coats and moccasins go to Kilome with pockets full on money to shamelessly hand over to the voters under the pretext of democracy, this cries out aloud to heaven for vengeance! What are these that are ruling us that we only see every 4 years (Right before the election, that is!)
MAMBO BADO!

Guess who? Right before eating!
I am still not thorough with those people who pretext to look after our interest in the House. Why the call it 'The House' I wonder indeed. It is very common indeed to find activities of various kinds being carried out that cry out to high heaven for an alternative name to be used to describe that establishment.
When a grown man, called 'Honourable' at least to his face decides to descend upon a colleague of his with blows from his fists, and kicks  from his boots, and the assaulted returns the assault with intensity and enthusiasm, bringing to bear rocks, sticks and anything that can be brought to bear, the name THE BRAWL CENTER would be more appropriate!
When a Honourable Member is depicted by the quite unbiased medium of film is discovered to be in the recumbent position with mouth open, spittle drooling out of the corners of his mouth and sonorous snores penetrating the air, this gent may claim to be there in body but in spirit he is quite somewhere else, thank you very much! This leads me to suggest that the house be called THE BEDROOM
When an MP who gathers a 450,000 bob salary and should thus by right rub shoulders with some of Calvin Klein's products shows up at a rally with checked trousers with a patch on the rear end, a checked coat so loud we can hear a sonic boom, shirt so old that it is bereft of a collar, no socks and yellow moccasins old enough to have been considered by Speke as old fashioned, I believe the House should be referred to as THE HEIGHT OF USHAMBA
