Kalenjin → English transcript

It is in January. It must be done in January. If it is not done in February,

there will be a different person than Mandago.

Number one. He is the one who built those things, the hero of development.

A hero of development for ten years. I want to thank him

because that is something that has real meaning in this matter for ten years.

Let us be honest. Let us be honest. We started from that point.

It was just a bare forest with no settlement.

There was no person staying there with his family.

There was not even a dispensary for people to get medicine.

You would go to the county council or you would go to the government where they

used to give those things.

So what we want is for it to be done.

So that there is a college there.

So that when you finish school there is a place to go.

So that the seer can see you,

that you are bringing something……

and that you are taking something away. I want to mention DK,

and I want to mention Julius.

The fire is already burning and you are seeing that he has already entered the race.

What kind of race is it for you?

How many goats does each person have?

And how many goats does the other person have? Chelele, that is the issue,

you do not have a hangover.

You, Julius, you were the one in charge of getting progress in the constituency and

in the county in finance.

With Mandago.

You, DK, you were the ones who were supposed to bring things to the assembly.

With Mandago and Julius. And that is your problem.

And I told you guys. Chelele, listen,

if you sit where your elders sit, you sit where the senator sits.

You do not go to where women dance wildly. You all messed up everything.

You took people who were supposed to work down at home and you took people who were

supposed to work in the county. Okay, wait. I know that is the problem.

My problem number two,

when we were introducing Chelele,

we said he would sing until the end of this term… …

he has not even sung a quarter of these five years. It is not a joke in this place.

You did not want that. Some of the things you do, I do not like at all.

You listened to Mandago,

The same thing is what happened in Chelele. And I want to tell you guys.

The land has been grabbed in DK.

DK? The land has been taken away. Even your own representative.

There is nothing written in the contract with Soy school.

You will see buildings, the Soy machines.

And I thought it was for you... ...

yet they were all taken to Nairobi and this one and that one and that one,

and the county leaders and the national leaders.

They brought in Chinese and other people.

Maybe these people are the ones who voted. They just shout names

and say DK, DK, DK, DK.

They say you should be patient, your roads......

will be fixed, they will be like the ones you see in Soy projects. How?

Where is that work?

So we do not have Soy contractors?

Hey, move from there.

The promises they told us were that in January we would see it,

and the promises they told us are now being pushed further and further away.

The suffering keeps increasing instead of going down.

Julius. Thank you.

There is nothing that has changed.

So that is what happened. Then I said,“ God, this is too much work.”

Death that is known is like a trap that has teeth, teeth that are always waiting.

Yes, that is what the elder said. Yes, that is it.

Yes, if Rotich was supposed to buy charcoal, where is the charcoal he bought?

It was said, it was written down, and now here we are.

So I want to tell you this.

Even Chelele did not just have any ordinary case.

The problem that Chelele had was very deep jealousy. So you will say,“ Yes,

maybe it is God. Yes, I suppose it is God.” So now, who is

that who was governor for ten years? You know it yourself.

They came and found that when it rained, when I was in my house, the house leaked.

When the rain poured down like that, I would take my things and move away,

I think four times, I went to that area.

Number three. You have talked about it with Chelele. That kiosk there is mine.

I came there when there was a function with Soy,

I found them talking with DK and Julius and Who is it, who is it, who is it.

So now you go there at night. Julius wants to come and say…"

Eeh, salute the hero of development." Is that your development?

You see… I don't know. I want to say it. But I want to say it carefully.

There is nothing that makes you say," Oh…"

… hero of development. Hero of what development? Hero of poverty.

You see the way people live in the village. When it rains, the house leaks.

The house is rotten.

And you are calling people there.

For ten years, what have you done for those people?

You do not even have one thing you can say that you were supposed to say because… …

the children there are still sleeping hungry. Is that what you want?

You get the money, but you say nothing.

I get to Soy, yet they say this is Uasin Gishu… … this is Kapseret,

but this is a village. This is Kapseret like this is a village. Come on now.

That is what it is.

I was the one who brought Soy constituency and also Kesses constituency to you.

Julius came and his children are in Baringo.

Yes, there are people of Baringo here.

What you are doing is not right, sir. Stop this nonsense, sir.

You do not have respect. You are dividing

the Kalenjin people, and you are dividing Kenya. Why are you doing that now?

Do not incite.

Do not say things that will cause hatred.

Do not say things that will bring problems.

Things will turn around and return to you. Now we talk about Kingpin issues. Yes.

That is your plan.

And that is... that was your plan. You said that this year,

starting in January. The heroes said that you are the hero of development.

You were boasting that you will become President.

Because you were saying Uhuru is a weak person and you are the Kingpin.

So now see what has happened to you.

So I say such words come back to haunt you.

Be careful so that what you say does not destroy you. So the money you got……

was someone else’s. The person, as much as DK took a bit…… of the cash is happy,

but you people are saying things about Kingpin. You guys really insulted him.

But the heroes are

saying that and Julius is from Kesses.

So they brought Peter Kimboy,

and then they put him in front so that he is the one who will be shown… …

as the one enjoying,

while the people behind him are Kingpin.

And you forgot the real hero, belt.

And that's the truth. Yeah, that’s the truth.

So, you have not yet understood what kind of work you are doing.

Let me say the first thing.

You were in the county assembly for ten years. You were an MP for five years.

That makes it five years. That makes it ten years. You have not helped anyone.

You have not done anything that has changed people’s lives. What have you done?

I mean, the heart you have, is completely full of trash. You people are idiots.

Get completely lost.
