Not sure which is worse; the fact that after 22 years, a man is welcomed back by a pistol whipping; or the fact that the same dire themes he so passionately wrote about have been resurrected so brutally through this attack.
Truth be told, after the horror of hearing about it , then reading the article , I felt Nuthing but shame as a kenyan. I havent browsed the web leo for global news, but i can only imagine the disgust with which the international community will reel back in. He was their own..What will they do to us outsiders if we ever make the insane decision to come down there and visit.
As Lucy Oraing so eloquently put it, the wounds of this mindless act will remain so much longer than their physical ones.
Pray for this nation, and Ngugi and his wife , and yes, those mindless thugs who continue to plunder this nations most prized capital: its citizens. And that bloody police commisionner Ali.
How can anyone feel safe in this city when a CELEB staying at secured apartments a few minutes away from CENTRAL POLICE STATION gets viciously attacked.
This only strengthens my resolve that kweli if its your day, its your day. Not to sound like a lunchtime roadside preacher or anything, but We live by the grace.
