Muthama on Home Rest After Severe Nosebleed; Kemsa “Expose” Firm Demands Apology From NMG & Suspect Shares Details of Kevin Omwenga’s Final Moments

Good morning,

There are two types of wealth in life: Old money, and new money.

Old money is wealth that is passed down among families from generation to generation…Think the likes of the Kenyatta family, the Moi family, or as one Deputy President William Ruto likes to term it, the dynasties.

New money on the other hand is money earned through sweat and tears, by persons originating from poor backgrounds. On the streets, people like to call it the “get rich or die trying” kind of affair.

This hunt for new money has turned our beloved country upside down, in terms of morality.

Corporate bosses are milking their companies dry, government bosses are on the verge of emptying out public coffers, and ordinary wananchi are out there killing one another just for money.

In Kenya, earning a decent living has become a taboo, and citizens nowadays live by the mantra heri nililie Runda kuliko nichekee ghetto (I’d rather live miserably in the suburbs than have a happy life in the ghetto).

Perhaps it’s time we killed the notion of new money vs old money, and instead, glorified clean money. Wouldn’t that be a peaceful way of life?

Here are the stories making headlines on Opera News today:
