to David Munyakei…a brave Kenyan who blew the lid on corrupt dealings in the Kenyan government in 1993.He was sacked and langusihed for years in the doldrums.He died on 16th July 2006 aged 38..poor and disappointed
they shed their tears
offer glowing tribute
too little..too late
they made promises
to take care of you
but now you are gone
you were lion hearted
risked your career
to save the nation
instead
you were villified
demonized
the politicians wanted change
used you as a voice
in the fight against corruption
they achieved their goal
left you alone
suffering silently
so the news broke
that you were gone
thats when they remembered you
they shed their tears
offer glowing tribute
too little..too late
they made promises
to take care of you
but now you are gone
David Munyakei
I never knew you
but you were a hero
a big hearted hero
a patriot
who suffered wrongly
nothing can undo the past
so we must fight corruption
as we keep your memories alive
rest in peace….
