“Dunia ni kama bahari. Kuna Papa na Nyangumi tena wale wa hatari.
Hawapendi kuiona meli yetu baharini. Watafanya kila njia kuifupisha
safari.
Machakos tumeshatoka Bandari ya umaskini kuelekea kwa Kisiwa cha Maisha
bora.”
The song seemed to be a veiled attack on Mutua’s rivals. Beforehe sang this popular song Mutua told those in attendance at the Machakos People’s Park that it is the leaders who are working
(The world is like the sea. There dangerous sharks and whales. They do not like to see our ship leaving the port of poverty. They will do anything to end our journey. Machakos has already left the island of poverty and is headed towards a land of prosperity...”) The governor sang in Kiswahili.
“It is not the time for the captain of the vessel to give up but to stand firm to finish the race to the island. Machakos chap chap”Source: mwakilishi.com Follow @africanewspost
