Since Independence, National Awards that are usually presented on Jamhuri Day go to the political elite, security and public servants. Please allow me to make a drastic proposal for this year’s National Awards. This message is directed to the committee that vets the names from the grassroots to the national level. From Wanjiku to the most powerful men and women, all have had to go down on their knees to seek God’s intervention. Unlike Wanjiku, we have enough resources to guarantee us a good meal every day as long as food supplies are undisturbed.
