to David Munyankei...a brave Kenyan who blew the lid on corrupt dealings in the Kenyan government in 1993.He was sackedand langusihed for years in the doldrums.He died on 16th July 2006 aged 38..poor and disappointed


Unsung hero

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 Munyankei
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....

A very kind dedication to David Munyankei!!
People often do that mistake, they realice what is missing when it is gone, and then it is to late!!!
