Dear MM

Warm and hearty greetings from me and my family. You may not know me but I know you very well. We were together at Nairobi University, doing the same BA. Although we joined a year later than you and so are many other VIPs like Caroli Omondi, Hob. WSR, Hon. MOK and other important men and women in public service, private sector and NGOs, all of us were destined to be great men and women as well as to play a major role in our families, society and the country. For me and family, we took a completely different route and happy that myself and madam both went to IVY-LEAGUE Universities for our postgraduate. You may be aware about these universities but they believe they are the very best in the world and are reknown for excellence and all-rounder graduates and professors.Sorry for bothering you with all this but i strongly believe that the past and the future are intertwined and the problem with success is that it keeps moving forward and never backward. My brother you are destined to be a big man- infact a very big man in this counry and moreso in our community. However, things have changed so much that education is only there to prepare us adequately for the future, to make us strong but although it is a necessary condition for success, it is not a sufficient condition. So my brother be like me and my wife- invest in anything that can make you and your family happy and secure financially. Moreso invest in real estate- built and own rental houses, hotels, name it. Buy land in towns and do big things- but never talk about them. Also humility pays my brother- be humble because there are always better people than us. Listen to other people even to the most illiterate, drunkard, village poeple. Don't leave them out, never despice them, never never.

Now back to the reason for writing this, sorry i hardly this this and i really doubt if you will ever see or read it. But i hope you will find time Sir to look at thi. First, you are a very good man. And such it will be better if you can disapprove the former Principal of Njiris High School of wrong beyond words. I hope you can still recall what he had said. Secondly, my brother you have been an excellent adviser on Constitutional matters but advisers are usually in the shadows, never heard or known like in the United States of America. So stay in the shadows. Thirdly, people get sacked here and there and they hardly raise a scene or fuss in public since it may be used against you. Moreover there is a complete difference between suspension, interdiction and dismissal. People hardly sue for suspension since it is done immediately with no pay but last for a short period. It is followed by interdiction where you get half salaray with house allowance. Then dismissal. If you will win, you get all your payments. So relax my brother- time for arguing your case will come not thru court or arrogance. Fourth, critism is a very good thing- only those who are academically challenged or overtly stupid feel offended when critised. You can't be 100% percent, so accept your challenges but if you can't the only solution is to be quiet- keeping your ears open but mouth closed. Lastly, my brother i wish you the very best in life. But remember there is a time for everything. Time to moan, time to cry, time to laugh and celebrate. Now is the time to lie low like an envelope. The Prime Minister only recent talked of fellow tribesmen who were scaring away potential friends by their arrogance, little knowledge, etc. Let us be like Kiukes- my friend it is now the pocket and properties only and nothing else or even wasamba will laugh at you. Please do that as there is nothing else.
