Will #SabaSaba pay your rent? Will it put food on your table? Will it pay your bills? I dare answer with an emphatic YES! Look beyond the actual day and focus on the fruits that will come from it. Heres how: 1. Pressure piled on government to avoid corruption means that the money which would have been pocked by Swiss-Account holders in government will remain here and will be in circulation. Chances of you getting a bite will be higher if the economy is running well. 2. Pressure piled on government will compel them to create a workable solution to resolve insecurity in the country. With peace of mind, you will be able to think clearly, and be able to be more productive. So, Yes, #SabaSaba puts food on your table. 3. Getting the government to reduce the cost of living is like getting yourself a salary raise. If you dont know how that is food on your table, then we have a problem. 4. Electoral process reforms will help kill the culture of ethnic voting. In the real sense, ethnic voting does not happen. Investigate the people around you and youll find that there are many who voted against the communitys trend. We suffer from a government that uses the media to shape perception on how different regions will vote. The electoral commission then moves in to make those perception comes true, and the justice system rubberstamps. With a stable electoral process that has integrity, ethnic politics will be dealt a fatal blow. You will not need to run from your residence every 5yrs. At least if you are not running, your neighbour is running, and ultimately, that affects your localitys economy. So, electoral reforms will put food on your table 5. Killing negative ethnicity creates a platform where talent is espoused. Where the most talented people are in position, irrespective of their ethnicity, they can work miracles. They will grow your economy...and when they do, chances of you making some more will be higher. So, Yes, killing negative ethnicity will put food on your table. 6. Will meaningful devolution put food on your table? Yes. National dialogue will, firstly put a stop to the fear that MCAs instil on governors. The money that governors use to bribe MCAs on foreign trips will free money for development. At the national level, processing of county funds will be made faster. Most counties are unable to utilise funds allocated to them because the National government want to convert them into mere clerks. Before additional funds are allocated, a lengthy process of accounting for previous allocations is followed. National dialogue will create a solution where counties are not crippled in the name of transparency. Besides, the government is defrauding the counties. The current county govt allocations are based on revenues that are much lower than what was collected in 2012/2013. #SabaSaba will see an end to this trickery and better functioning county govts. Does that put food on your table? Yes. More jobs and opportunities at the counties, and a better economy. So, those whove been asking if #SabaSaba will put food on your table, you have your answers. Clear and on point
