......so last week i was in the entrepreneurship class hoping to pass the time as the lecturer bored me with his never ending 'sermons'. I had hoped the time would fade away very fast so i can head home and eat. As usual the lecturer would come in very grumpy and we would know just about everything he was about to say.
However this week it was different. It seemed different from the very start. He was not his usual self, he was happy. A rare sight indeed. i was moved even more when started his 'sermon' for the day. He was talking about integrity and the recent news headline that had just hit Kenya. The one about bestiality...
On any other day this would never have made any headlines. However this was coming after the scandal that had been in the news all week. A couple of girls had decided to engage in the inhuman act of bestiality for pay. A foreign man believed to be the instigator of all this was paying the ladies for having sex with the dogs. Normally i would never comment on such matters because for one i don't know what drove the girls to such degrading acts, blame it on the economic conditions if you may..
Now back to the lecturer, the man had been going on and on for what seemed like ages about how these girls were a disgrace to the society. More so to the universities and the lecturers because these girls were collage students. Everything he said was true, but have you ever given it a thought why these girls do such things? And why was he shocked that such things had only started happening in Kenya now! Well i can tell my good friend the lecturer that such acts have been with us for a while. The fact that they only just gained media exposure is another matter all together.
Most people are quick to highlight all that is wrong with the society. All that is well and good but what are you doing to rectify all that is wrong with the society. Don't they say charity begins at home? Well i believe so. These women we demonize belong to the very society we belong to. I am almost sure that none of them enjoy the act. No one would commit such acts for leisure, or so i believe. Parents should do all they can to ensure their children have a good upbringing and a good education. This will not solve all the societal problems but it will be a start nonetheless. Its a tall order but one we must all unite to see eradicated from our society.
One major critic to my view that parents should do all they can to help their families is that some of these women who engaged in the bestiality act were mothers who were doing all they can to feed and cloth their families. That is all well and good but remember this, DO WHAT YOU KNOW IS RIGHT AND NOT WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT.
Good day good people.
