FUEL, FUEL, FUEL.....NO FUEL AT ALL! ..And dear Kenyans are still smiling!

Kenyans are such a polite lot! There is no fuel in our petrol stations; our cars are stalling by the roadsides.  Kenyans are either staying up till 2am looking for fuel or waking up at 4.00 am to go look for fuel and yet we are not yet on the streets protesting? I'm not advocating for any form of violence/riots, but its our constitutional right to seek answers from our government and remain peaceful during such "missions". 

Ask the Pakistani's, they have been at it. Ask the French, especially the French don't cringe when it comes to them seeking for answers, even if it takes months, they will be on the streets. They had fuel shortages too! Ask the Afghans! They too have protested due to fuel shortages and their leaders acted. The most amazing one is that even Malawians....yes, they are such "polite" people, they too protested and their fuel issues were addressed. Can you imagine that? Just to name a few countries....

So why are Kenyans still very quite and not willing to speak up? That by the way includes me who is quite timid to go to the streets to protest; but why are we so fearful to speak up?
