Political philosophy is the study of topics such as politics,
liberty, justice, property, rights, law, and the enforcement of a legal code by
authority: what they are, why (or even if) they are needed, what, if anything,
makes a government legitimate, what rights and freedoms it should protect and
why, what form it should take and why, what the law is, and what duties
citizens owe to a legitimate government, if any, and when it may be
legitimately overthrown, if ever.
In a vernacular sense, the term "political philosophy"
often refers to a general view, or specific ethic, political belief or
attitude, about politics, synonymous to the term "political
ideology".
This is the guide book for any leader who chooses a political
route to meeting the populous’ needs as it is,
also a reminder to citizens of what is expected of them.
Having this in mind, I would like to delve into a matter I
personally find trivial in its every sense. Once elected, appointed, selected
or otherwise, a leader is supposed to observe a certain code of ethics as a bare
minimum. The code incorporates
values, principles, and professional standards.
Politics is a very exciting mind game but we sometimes allow
amateurs into it. This is the cause of all the rot and filth that brand it
dirty.
There has been a rising trend of
politicians hurling insults that touch on family. Family is a NO GO
ZONE! Get this. No matter the pressure, no matter the anger, no matter the
excitement. Stay away from other people’s families. This, if not immediately,
will come back to haunt you.
Mentioning someone’s family in your
statement would stir so much anger whose repercussion, you cannot resist. We
can learn from Joho Vs. Uhuru duel. Joho has been consistently taking on Uhuru
and the presidency, yet at no time has he ever mentioned the president’s
family. Raila Odinga has been in contest with almost every team but never has
he ever insulted someone’s family. That is respect. Are you still wondering why
the former First Lady, Lucy Kibaki never spared the media either? Her family
came first and that was important to her. Any sane person knows that. It is
being mature and responsible. She was the loudest when angry but never insulted
someone’s family. Why would you attack hers? So however furious you might be
with someone, if you cannot respect them, at least respect their family.
Kwaheri guyz! Let me rush back to
the studio to make that music.
