Punching lifeless things in the name of expressing rage over something is a sorry thing to do especially if the person doing it is thought to be sane and over 30.
So when Gideon Mbuvi aka Mike Sonko flexed his muscles, threw his hands and allowed his fists to make multiple strikes on motionless iron sheets, he only reminded many that he’s in a different league, a league of people who out of their cowardice attack defenceless things knowing well they would not be fought back.
And sleeping stomach up on the tarmac... an honourable member doing that? Someone who represents an urban constituency? Give us a break please. Only K’Ogalo fans could be allowed to do such inane things especially when they think they should be allowed to liberally score and not be scored. Anyway, Sonko scored a point with the latest tirades, a point which pressed him down the hole hiding miserable Mps. From now he would be treated by his colleagues-most of them evidently fought back nausea when he was addressing the press-with utmost care bordering on sympathy.
The correct, modern and moral thing to do when angry about something is to find out who could provide a solution, establish and follow the right channel to that person, cosily sit down, have a cup of tea and express your dissatisfaction with that person. Employing such idyllic tactics would definitely bear fruit and dignity would be preserved. Doing the contrary like inviting goons, gangs, and jobless girls to shout-march, vandalise property, spit out alcohol-laden insults, jump gates and disrespectfully invade places is just primitive and not characteristic of an urbanised Mp.
And then spitting more vitriol...studs and shades. That’s something youthful and nice. And we already know fashion-conscious youths adorn such. Nothing knew really. Youths, studs, sunglasses, cowboy hats, shorts are not unique. So Sonko should not emphasise so much on that. He should instead stop imitating idle estate young men and women who after the day’s gossip jump up and down with a misplaced swagger meant to display non-existent power and pride. If he taught those youngsters on how to direct their energies on improving their lives other than invading well-built offices, he would have done something tangible and worth sending home.
What he did recently was backward and a perfect answer to how not to elect youths to such august houses as parliament.
