THE CHARITY OF NGILU It put Kibaki, Wamalwa and Raila, and the whole Narc crowd, into power, and helped her bag the Health Ministry. And while she was celebrating with #Mzee inside State House, Mama Lucy came and threw her out. The womenfolk in the country bewailed this lack of courtesy on the part of the then First Lady. Where was she, they asked, when Mzee and Ngilu were plotting to take the country? Ngilu herself didnt think much of it. She was going to be the Commander-in-Chief one day very soon. And then nobody will dare throw her out. Maybe she would invite Kibaki over to continue and finish their disrupted celebration. Ngilu has a big heart. But things didnt happen as expected according to the Narc MoU. Wamalwa, a signatory to that MoU, died. Raila was busy stirring so much sh*t and Kibaki was not willing to quit after a paltry 5-year tenure. Thats not what his predecessors had taught him. Kenyatta had fifteen years of wielding power, and would have had more if he had not died. Moi had 24. Looking around produced Msdveni, Mugabe and Gaddafi, all statemen; all comfortably sailing through decades. Why should he, Kibaki, have a mere five years? It was Kibaki Tena and Charity had to choose between chanting along and taking her charity elsewhere. She chose the latter. ODM managed to woe her and she made her way into the Ministry of Water, where her charity was defined by the risks she took in channelling almost all her energy and Government resources to her kin and kindred. Boreholes were sunk in Ukambani at astronomical costs, at the expense of other areas. Some people complained but Ngilus charity to her people was justifiable in many ways. And with ODM standing guard and displaying their political muscle in the House, Charity got away with it. You would expect the Ukambani people to show their gratitude. You would expect them to stand by her and sing her praises, immortalise her for all she has done for them. But alas! No charity for Charity. Her people would rather sink their teeth into a #watermelon and sink with it than show her charity and swim. She lost an election early this year. Luckily, Charity had made friends while going up. When she needed them, they put their names on her plea. Charity got appointed to the Lands Ministry. Ngilu went to work with zeal. She wanted the landless people settled permanently. Her charity could be seen in the title deeds that she handed out only 3 months after taking over the ministry. She got things moving very fast that the man responsible for signing important documents, after the first six thousand or so, called in sick. Stiff and aching fingers, he said. Cant sign any more deeds. Not in the near future. Ngilu had an idea. She hired another man pronto to do the job. Thats when all hell broke loose. Her acts of charity are unconstitutional. And even after firing the new employee, the devils of land, the ones she had been asked by her boss to cast out, still want her blood. Just how much must this woman of charity suffer? Will we ever find a place for her in our hearts?
