Patriotism

Attended a rather interesting breakfast meeting leo where one of the key speakers was Brand Kenya C.E.O, Mary Kimonye who gave an interesting insight about Kenyan perceptions on patriotism. The fact that Kenyans are always quick to criticize anything regarding their country instead of applauding or appreciating any positive aspect that arises out of this amazing motherland! Which was soooo right considering I am one of those Kenyans guilty of this condemnation of my motherland! (Shame-yes, I know)

Which is why after that meeting I have resolved to become more patriotic and proudly market and support the positive aspects of Kenya. This will include adding more Kenyan flag oriented clothes in my closet in addition to my Kenya Rugby shirts and khangas and also buy a big flag to replace the small one hanging in my house.

In essence I will do more when I go for the world cup finals next week and rival the patriotism levels of our brothers and sisters in the rainbow nation down south.

Najivunia kuwa Mkenya not navumilia kuwa Mkenya anymore! Have a patriotic day (",)
