THE SOCIETY TODAY...

-
The society to me depicts what is obtainable in the jungle where the stronger animals feeds on the weaker ones.  If you notice in most of the documentaries you watch, the weaker animals seems to have accepted their fate and very pocket few do fight back. Relating this to our contemporary society, the upper class strive to widen the gap at the expense of the middle and lower class. Only few from the middle or lower class make it to the top.  Well agreed the upper class are oppressors but don't you think the middle class are also guilty of the same?

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday said a re-run of the presidential election would go ahead on Oct. 26 despite the boycott by opposition leader Raila Odinga. “We have no problem going back to elections. We are sure we will get more votes than the last time,” Kenyatta told a rally in the southern town of Voi, speaking in Kiswahili. Odinga had announced his withdrawal from the elections at a news conference in Nairobi. He said he was boycotting the polls because his demands for electoral reform had not been met. A re-run of the presidential vote was announced after Kenya’s Supreme Court nullified the result of the Aug. 8 election due to Odinga’s complaint. Odinga claimed that the computers of the electoral commission had been hacked to generate a victory for President Uhuru Kenyatta. The initial results announced on Aug. 11, gave Kenyatta a second term with 54 per cent of the votes, followed by Odinga with 44.7 per cent. Since the annulment, Odinga and his National Super ...
