The Children Of Kilifi Are Not Beggars for Pagan Prayers: Shame On The Donors!

The tragedy in Ganze is not hunger; it is betrayal. The children are not starving for food—they are starving for leaders, parents, and teachers with spines. And instead of protection, they are being handed over to idols in exchange for a plate of rice.

What kind of government allows outsiders to dictate what prayer its children must say before eating? A useless, corrupt, and cowardly government. And what kind of parent watches quietly as their child bows to false gods? A parent who has already sold their soul for crumbs.

The county government of Kilifi is a disgrace. Instead of ensuring school feeding programs are funded, they wait until outsiders bring food with conditions. That is not governance—it is abdication of duty, wrapped in corruption, sealed with incompetence.

The national government is no better. They waste billions in Nairobi on phantom projects, inflated tenders, and luxurious lifestyles, while in Ganze, children must chant to gods they do not know to taste food. That is not leadership—it is treason against the next generation.

Teachers and school officials deserve no sympathy here. They allowed classrooms to become temples of confusion. Instead of shielding children from manipulation, they became facilitators. They betrayed the trust of parents and turned schools into theatres of idolatry.

And the parents—ah, the parents. You whine about poverty, yet you vote hyenas into power every election. You sit on your hands as your children’s faith is traded for handouts. You are the architects of your children’s humiliation.

How dare you claim to love your children, when you watch them pray to gods you don’t serve just for food? Love without protection is cowardice. You have failed your children. You complain of hunger but refuse to fight the thieves you elect. That is your shame.

The organization behind this should take their food and carry it back to their shrines. We do not want rice served with idolatry. True charity gives without conditions. What they offered was not help—it was spiritual manipulation.

Let’s call it what it is: bribery of the soul. A child’s stomach was used as leverage to steal their faith. And those who allowed it—government, parents, teachers—are all complicit in this abomination.

To say “a prayer is just gratitude” is a lie. Gratitude does not require chanting to idols. Gratitude does not come with scripts written by outsiders. This was not Thanksgiving—it was indoctrination disguised as kindness.

If the county government had done its job, no outsider would have filled the void. But Kilifi leaders are too busy enriching themselves through corruption, too busy buying SUVs and mansions, while children trade their innocence for a meal.

The national government roars in parliament and pulpits, but when it comes to feeding children, they are silent. They would rather build roads to nowhere and stadiums that rot than fund school feeding programs that save souls and lives.

The parents who complain of poverty are the same ones who sell their votes for 200 shillings. Then they weep when their children kneel before false gods. Poverty did not force you to elect thieves—you did. And now your children pay the price.

Teachers must stop pretending to be innocent bystanders. You cannot claim to educate children while permitting idolatry in your classrooms. You betrayed your duty. You opened the door for this mockery of faith. You are accomplices.

And to the organization that staged this? Your food is not charity—it is bait. Keep it. Kenya’s children are not pawns for your shrines. You can feed your idols with it, but you will not buy the souls of our children.

This incident is not just about Kilifi. It is a mirror of Kenya. A nation so corrupt, so cowardly, that outsiders walk in and dictate how our children must pray before they eat. It is the ultimate humiliation of a people led by fools.

The blame cannot be diluted. Parents, government, and teachers all failed. They turned hunger into an altar of abomination. And instead of outrage, too many are excusing it with cowardly words like “tolerance.” Shame on you.

What example do you set when you allow your children to bow to gods you do not believe in? You are teaching them that survival requires surrender. That food is worth more than faith. That is not survival—it is slavery.

Kilifi’s leaders are cowards hiding behind poverty. The national government is a cartel of thieves too busy looting to care. The teachers are traitors in classrooms. And the parents are enablers, too lazy and too blind to fight. All of you carry the shame.

And this shame will outlive you. Your children will grow up remembering that when hunger came, their leaders sold them, their teachers abandoned them, and their parents bowed. That memory will poison them forever.

What will it take for Kenyans to wake up? Must our children chant to idols in every county before you see the danger? Must every plate of food come with strings? Where are the men and women of faith who will rise and say, “Enough”?

This incident is not a cultural exchange. It is not gratitude. It is spiritual colonization. And every parent, teacher, and leader who permitted it must be branded a coward.

The Bible says, “Man shall not live by bread alone.” But in Ganze, you have taught children to live by bread and betrayal. That is your legacy. That is your crime.

You steal their future through corruption, then steal their faith through cowardice. And you still dare call yourselves leaders, teachers, and parents? You are nothing but traitors to the next generation.

Let the shame sink deep. Let it sting you. For you have mocked God by letting children bow to idols for food. No excuse, no justification, no tolerance can wash this away.

This is the fruit of a corrupt system where leaders eat fat while children beg. Where parents prefer handouts over accountability. Where teachers hide behind cowardice. And where outsiders exploit hunger for spiritual conquest.

Parents of Kilifi, your failure is the greatest of all. You birthed these children. You swore to protect them. Yet you delivered them to strangers. You are not parents—you are sellers of souls.

Government of Kenya, you are thieves who eat until you choke while children chant at idols for food. You are not leaders—you are criminals in suits.

Teachers of Ganze, you betrayed the noblest profession. You chose cowardice over courage. You failed the innocent who trusted you. You are traitors with chalk.

And the organization behind this—you are vultures. You dressed your idolatry as kindness. But we see you. Keep your food. Kenya’s children will not be pawns in your shrines.

We will not bow to false gods for food. Let it be written, shouted, and remembered. Our children will not chant to idols, no matter how hungry they are. And those who forced them to must carry the eternal shame.

This scandal must be a turning point. No more excuses. No more silence. Parents must rise. The government must feed its children. Teachers must protect their students. And outsiders must be shown the door.

The children of Kilifi are not pawns. They are not bargaining chips. They are not tools for idolatry. They are sons and daughters of Kenya, and they deserve food without conditions and faith without compromise.

This incident is a scar on Kenya’s conscience. A scar carved by cowardice, corruption, and betrayal. But scars remind us of wounds—and this wound must never be repeated.

We cannot undo what happened, but we can draw the line. And the line is this: no child in Kenya will ever again bow to false gods for food.

The parents must stop whining and start fighting. The government must stop stealing and start feeding. The teachers must stop hiding and start protecting. And the organizations must stop scheming and start respecting.

This is not negotiable. This is not tolerance. This is the survival of faith. And anyone who excuses what happened in Ganze is as guilty as those who orchestrated it.

Let Kilifi’s shame be Kenya’s awakening. Never again will hunger be used to buy the souls of children. Never again will false prayers be forced upon classrooms. Never again will cowardice be excused.

We will not bow. We will not surrender. And we will not allow false gods to feed our children. Let the government, the parents, the teachers, and the organizations know this: your betrayal is noted, your shame is eternal, and your excuses are filth.

The children of Kilifi deserve better. Kenya’s children deserve better. And God demands better. So take your rice, take your idols, and take your arrogance back to your shrines. Kenya will not be bought.

This is the stand we must take. And this is the judgment we pass on every coward, every thief, and every traitor who allowed children to bow for food. May history never forgive you.
