Whats wrong with my motherland, Kenya?

These days, when there is plenty in one part of the world, there is scarcity in the other part.Eathquakes,tramours and volcanic eruptions, calmness in the other part, war in the Arab world, peace in the non-Arabic nations and many more.

Here in Kenya, it’s not any different thanks to global warming, the onset of ‘long’ rains last week came as a great relief to many. It was not long however before there was wailing and teeth gnashing in many parts f the country because powerful downpours were causing flooding and extensive damage. The result of this is that the rains are going to finish off what the preceding drought had started, not unlike what happened in northern Kenya when sudden downpour killed off livestock that had been weakened by lack of water and pasture. What is wrong with this country?
