Obama leaves Kenya and the hangover of his visit sets in

Kenyan politics - A failure of imagination....Obama's last speech to the nation

Kenya power nearly ruined my day and ultimately my plans for the week by switching off power just as Auma Obama was ushering in her brother President Barrack Obama to address the nation, Kenya in his last speech before flying to Addis Ababa for an AU meeting tomorrow.

I caught the speech half way and as expected Barrack Obama was honest and did not hesitate to stir the hornets nest by touching on the issue of equity in Kenya.He pointed out how Kenya's society was imbalanced and the fact that the politicks of patronage and ethinicity was responsible. Case in point, regions which have for a long period had a different ideology with the ruling regime have always lagged behind in terms of development.

 I guess it must have gotten very uncomfortable to the leaders present(opposition and government) as evidenced by the amount of twitching in their sits, when Obama bluntly declared that Kenyan politicks, in as long as they are based on tribal affiliations, are primitive and a recipe for disaster. He called Kenyan politicks "a lack of imagination". This was a punch in the nose to the bigots who are our leaders more so, the guys in the opposition.

One statememt that caught my attention is when Obama got into his witty element started speaking about his/our ancestors or Kenya founding fathers, Jomo Kenyatta, Tom Mboya, Oginga Odinga and his father Obama snr and thiose that came before them. It has been claimed that Kenyatta Snr. sacked Obama snr from his job and ensured that he lived in oblivition, a claim which might be true, as this was very common in Kenya back in the day. Obama in this statement seemed to suggest karma, wittingly and in another veiled fashion suggested that whatever Kenyatta snr. tried to suppress was unsupressable and the fact that Obama jnr. is now president of the USA is a living proof of the fact.I wish not to trivialize Obama's speech, but in this one he came out as someone who had been bitter of his father being sent to oblivion and his Luo community being marginalized for opposing the government of the day. Atleast he got that out of his chest and advised that we should not focus on the dark corners of our past but to a brighter future.

He reminded everyone that we are living in a world borrowed from our children and there was a need to make sacrifices, just as our forefathers did to make the future better for our children. This statement was very relevant especially in relation to Kenya's heritage. Kenyans need to make sacrifices to protect our heritage especially upholding progressive cultural practices and shunning retrogressive ones such as female genital mutilation and early marriages.

Obama had organized his speech into pillars but unfortunately i was not able to get everything due to erratic power supply since we suffered to blackouts/outages during his speech.

All in all Obama's message was that Africa's destiny belongs to Africans and only them can liberate themselves from the perils of corruption,negative ethnicity, bigotry etc. Diversity is strength, equity and equitable sharing of resources in our society is key. Obama exhibited a grasp of Kenya's issues and reiterated in the umpteenth time that United States of America was Kenya's friend and not enemy.

Gay and Lesbian debate....The suffocating elephant in the room - Obama second address to the nation Kenya

The thorn in the flesh and the inevitable gay and lesbian conversation finally reared its head in the joint press conference held between President Uhuru Kenyatta and President Barrack Obama.

Barrack Obama chose albeit uncomfortably, to stick to his guns and be consistent. He elaborated, by example that everyone must be treated equally within the law. His Kenyan counterpart was in catch 22 situation and had to be politically correct. Uhuru Kenyatta played it safe by dismissing the debate as inconsequential saying that there were far much urgent issues to be addressed such as health, and the uplifting of the general welfare of the Kenyan citizens.

One can argue that Uhuru Kenyatta actually concurred with Barrack Obama's sentiments in the sense that both said that the rights of the minority must be upheld within the law.Both agreed that family values in an African society are a delicate matter and Obama knows this very well due to the fact that he hosted for dinner  3 dozen of his family members at the Villa rosa Kempinksi hotel in the leafy surburbs of Westlands Nairobi. In short the problem of terror has been brought about by segregation even though it will take an academic study to prove that infringing on gay rights in Africa may breed a radical upprising similar to Al-Qaeda, Al Shaabab and ISIS.

On corruption, he stated the obvious that corruption is a vampire and a major pedestal to Kenya's progress.He gave examples of his home state of Chicago that was previously held hostage by corrupt mafia gangs and police on the take of the 1940's(Al Capone and ilk) but also acknowledged that President Uhuru is trying to slay the monster noting that Kenyans as a whole need to collectively fight the scourge.

On Obama's legacy and his policy on Africa, it is quite obvious that the man Barrack Obama is trying.. more so with his GES and power Africa, empowering women, the use of fertilizers among other initiatives. President Kenyatta concurred.

Obama announced major restrictions on ivory trade in the United States.He hinted of a total ban.This was very welcome announcement but the United Nations in New york or Geneva should announce a worldwide ban not only for ivory trade but also for game hunting/culling of any species on earth that has a population of less than 500,000. Kenya, Africa and world should also start demarcating wildlife zone for timelines of 999years and no sort of human settlement should be allowed for atleast 5 kilometers off the park boundaries, and no human settlement or activity will be allowed on any migratory routes for huge mammals.


Back to the gay debate, every Kenyan who has undergone university education must have encountered the "Harm Principle" or the "Principle of liberty" by John Stuart Mills as part of the curriculum. It is not a secret that there exists a gay society in Kenya. We might not recognize their rights at the moment but for sure this conversation is not ending anytime soon and indeed i can predict in this blog that it might feature in a constitutional debate in a not so far future. Don't get me wrong, i don't support gay relationships but i endevour to be factual on issues.

In the long and short of it, Obama has shown respect, he has shown wisdom and serious thought process so far. I'm now hungry and anxious for his inspirational and bare knuckles address to the nation tomorrow.

Obama's speech in GES 2015 opening day a veiled attack on Kenya's retrogressive stereotypes and believes

You have to admire this man Barrack Obama. As expected the opening day of the GES 2015 lived up to the expectations. The two co-hosts Uhuru Kenyatta and Barrack Obama walked into the stage with panache. The first to give the speech was Uhuru Kenyatta and he spoke of Africa on the rise, and the tremendous leaps Africa has been making recently in relation to socio-economics.

Uhuru emphasized that Kenya does not lean East or West neither is Kenya playing the East vs. West econo-policks, rather that Kenya is only interested in partnerships of mutual respect that are of the benefit to every Kenyan citizen. Uhuru did well in articulating the current attitude and optimism of most Africans (especially the young ones).

Barrack Obama seemed full of wisdom. He was taking his time, and you could sense a man who was putting thought before words. He would pose for a moment, bite his lower lip, contort his face in a fit of thought and then speak.

Obama emphasized on an enabling environment to ensure everyone no matter their surname had an equal opportunity. He even went further in a veiled comment castigating Kenyans  of the school of thought that if you are from a certain tribe then your idea is not good enough, or if you come from a certain region or a certain ethnic group thenn you are not good enough to lead the nation.

Obama also used the word corruption two or three times and from his body language you could sense that it forms a major part of his agenda in his trip and probably a highlight of his address to AU leaders in Addis Ababa on Monday 27 July 2015. Clearly, he is also well informed about youth radicalization resulting from years of disfranchisement and marginalization and seemed to know a solution to it, and that is entrepreneurship and equal playing ground for all including women and youth who also form a marginalized demography.

Ever since his touchdown in Kenya as President of the United States of America, it has all been inspiration. The mood has been good. Everyone is doing some sort of "Obamalytics", trying to analyse every move that Obama and his covert aides are taking. Nothing has been spared including fashion and who should have worn what and what should not have been worn while mingling with probably the most powerful man on earth( considering there is also the Pope,Khalif, The president of China etc).

Black supremacy, Malcom X and Barrack Obama...............Obama is coming home to KE

I watched the movie Malcom X starred by Denzel Washington last weekend. It was not the first time in my lifetime that i came across Malcom X as presented in media (I was not around in the 60's)in all media, books, movies, street talk etc

The movie somehow gave me even more insight of the struggle then..racial struggle. Perhaps i have grown older to understand the issues of the 60's as opposed to what i understood in my early twenties.

In the beginning of the millenium,when i was in my early twenties,  black supremacy dominated debates and conversations among young university students in Kenya. Someone appeared very clever and wise debating slavery, colonization and racism faced by African(Negroes)in the Western world. In those days talking about Malcom X, Booker T. Washington, Martin Luther King, Marcus Garvey , Nelson Mandela was very relevant and anyone who seemed to understand struggle was ranked very highly. I did not make it to university, but had the privilege of having been part of the University of Nairobi fraternity. Most students even science students invested a huge chunk of time trying to answer the question why Africa was is in the situation it was then also, a lot of time and mental activity was spent trying to retrace Africa's history in a bid to answer the question "WHERE DID AFRICA GO WRONG - WHY ARE WE SO BEHIND COMPARED TO OTHER RACES??"

My opinion is that as African ancestors(NEGROES) we lacked the skill of record keeping,Knowledge preservation was a big challenge to our ancestors and probably that is the sole reason why we are stiil messsed up.

Fast forward to the 21st century,and the first blackman (ahem....first coloured) has been president of the best world on earth. The president of the free world where you can do whatever you want as long as you consider your neighbor.The president of the  United states of America is coming back home to Kenya, the cradle of mankind.

What has made news in Kenya in the past few months

Garissa, Obama's homecoming, Xenophobia in South Africa, Kenya Premier League - FKF wrangles

Mpeketoni massarcre - the conspirancy theory

Kenya woke up to very horrendous news of a 4hr long massacre that happened in Mpeketoni, a bustling remote town in the southeast of Kenya. It was a big political setback to the Jubilee government who are busy setting Kenya's development agenda 2013-2018.

As expected, the NIS, the police and the entire

National dialogue - lets call it something else

It is very dissapointing that Kalonzo Musyoka cited Somali and South Sudan national dialogues as examples when answering a journalist question at orange house when CORD luminaries called a press conference to clarify what they actually meant when they placed an embargo on the ruling caolition to host a national dialogue conference.

It is common knowledge that Somalia and South Sudan are states dogged with war because of individuals personal egos and it is not wrong to conclude - based on Kalonzo assertions - that the national dialogue after all is not about the mwananchi but rather about individuals who were competing for a certain position and need closure over the issue of 2013 elections.

The issues raised by CORD have been in existence in Kenya for a very long time. Indeed there is no time in the history of Kenya that Kenyans were so divided tribally than in the build-up to 2007 elections. CORD cannot therefore accuse the UhuRuto government of being tribal yet they themselves exhibited tribal-tendencies (as far as govt.  appointments are concerned) when sharing their mkate nusu in the grand coalition.

The question is - If at all Jubilee agrees to talks, will CORD be the proverbial camel that asked the owner of the tent to shelter its head and eventually threw the owner out?

If at all some solutions to Kenya's problems were found during the national debate, will CORD demand to implement them?

UhuRuto government should not agree to national dialogue. Agreeing to it will be akin to admitting, that they are not up to task, or more bluntly not able to rule Kenya.

Anti-climax in Raila's homecoming party

They say...."great expectations make frustrated men" and thats exactly what happened in the much hyped and much anticipated Raila's homecoming party. As with all huge rally's the event was marred by heckling, chaos and public disorder evident by the fact that most of the speakers spent more time quelling the crowds rather than addressing the masses.

As predicted in this blog, there were subtle hints that Raila Odinga the man is now but a pale shadow of his former self. For an unknown reason Raila seemed to be an angry man. He addressed the nation with bitterness and his overall tone was that of ultimatums to the ruling regime, falling short to calling for mass action. Indeed, he suggested mass action or political instability if the government does not convene a national dialogue conference and invite the opposition.

It seems that certain people flourish in creating political crisis in the republic and this is never good for the economy of the nation atleast at the macroeconomic level. The argument or rather the justification for all this tension has always been that the opposition represents half the population of Kenya and therefore Jubilee cannot rule alone.

What a fallacy this is. Absolute hog wash. As it stands, CORD has no legal mandate to govern Kenya. More bluntly, they lost the election. It is only fair if they let the ruling coalition exercise their mandate in their constitutional term. All this bickering only derails the nations economic agenda and therefore affecting the common mwananchi on the ground not only economically but also socially in the sense that this politics always have a way of awakening the tribalism monster, which some of us wish could be slaughtered and buried in the deepest hole on earth.

Endless politics will not put food on the mwananchi table but will raise tensions between friends since in Kenya, tribe = politics. Yes your tribe can give a hint of your political affiliation even if you are not concerned. Ethnic profiling is rife and CORD thrives on it.

Raila homecoming was short of expectation.

IG Kimaiyo bans political rallies and effectively mangles Raila homecoming party

Kenya my country is a funny country. It is a country where its people pride themselves for democracy but still continue practicing primitive politics. Case in point is when a bunch of politicians in their late 50's, 60's and 70's suddenly become champions of the people and engage in very irresponsible behaviour.

As it is, Kenyan government is in a tight spot in all spheres. It is a young government, barely 18months in office, which is trapped between electral promises and the day to day operations of government.

Western nations especially United Kingdom and the United States have put travel advisories and for the case of Great Britain, gone further and airlifted  their citizens who were on holiday therefore crippling the tourism industry. Most Kenyans unfortunately did not read between the lines in this whole "travel advisory" saga.

The travel advisories are the new sanctions and what the western nations did was equivalent to economic sabotage on Kenya. Reason being that President Uhuru in his character dismissed the imperialist slave masters as blood suckers while hosting the Chinese prime minister. The China premier visit caused a lot of diplomatic discomfort in the Western consulates in Nairobi - The case of a jilted lover.

It is a shame that most africans still believe Africa cannot do without a whiteman.

Raila Odinga in a past event

Other than the economic sabotage, the jubilee government is also facing an outcry over the payments to Anglo leasing merchants. There also reports of a "rift" in the rift valley due to perceived short-changing of the rift valley constituency in the ruling coalition.

CORD has capitalized on this situation and what better time to express themselves and convince Kenyans that they are the better option than when "baba" comes back home from an academic sabbatical in the United States of America. Fortunately or unfortunately CORD's bigotry has gotten ahead of them and the inspector general of police David Kimaiyo has banned all political rallies indefinitely and effectively thrown into dissarray Raila's homecoming party plans.

The biggest problem in Kenya is not the ban of political rallies but that of politians both in ruling party and those in the opposition always engaging in primitive politics. Ever since the retirement of Daniel arap Moi, Kenya has always been in a consistent political tag of war. If it is not the MCA's agitating for the impeachment of Governors, it is a group of MP's calling for the impeachment of a Cabinet Secretary for transferring their kinsmen from one position to another.

Leadership (Senators and MP's and MCA's) priority is not uplifting the life of Kenyans but endless wrangles and unnecessary politicking. It is as if politicians are always under pressure to appear on TV or in the dailies talking about useless things that dont help the mwananchi in any way.

The media on the other hand is so unprofessional that one can easily tell that a presenter is biased towards a certain political leaning. A good example is a journalist on KTN who hosts the breakfast show. The guy was so gloomy in the morning after IG Kimaiyo's order. Indeed, even in interiews where politicians are invited, these bunch of dump journalists will always get carried away by the politicians bigotry and hate speech that they grin like children when the politician spews tribal comments or baseless and untruthful facts.

I hope that Raila's homecoming will not be marred up by riots or worst still casualties from police vs. masses battles. Yes, Kenya is facing challenges but elected leaders should be working towards solving problems and not inciting the people to hate each other on tribal or political basis. tolerance is critical. Mp's and senators should be busy formulating legislation and championing their constituencies development agenda.

Why Raila's homecoming would be the last nail to his political coffin

There is no doubt that Raila Odinga has had an illustrious political career. For the past three decades, Raila has been a thorn in the flesh to the ruling elite in Kenya.But a closer look at his politics reveals a man who has perfected the act of political rhetoric sometimes boudering on incitement and reckless declarions.

However, who can blame the man. Raila is an animated character with knack for captivating huge crowds especially those of the labour class. The labour class are the majority in Kenya and are usually the first in society to bare the brunt of inflation and high interest rates. In Raila, people see the messiah. The one who will take them to the promised land.

Personally, in my private thoughts, i imagine what a Raila Presidency can be like. Sometimes i think Kenyans will be judged harshly by a superior force for never giving Raila a chance. Its like when you are fresh graduate and not apply for certain vacancy and the feeling that maybe that one opportunity you ignored might have  been the one to end you joblessness.

So, Raila has been on a sabatical in Boston USA. He has been busy lecturing in Universities in the USA on matters of leadership in Africa.Meanwhile his psycophants back at home led by senators Orengo, Muthama and Wetangula are busy spoiling Raila homecoming party by leaking information on the plans of that "big" day.

This is my prediction on how the homecoming will effectively end Raila's career. The rhetoric that the Jubilee government has failed and Kenyans made a blunder to vote for UhuRuto will backfire. Indeed, if CORD's activity will slow down Kenya's economy then that will be it. It will prove true what Raila phobia antagonists have always preached. That Raila will go for power no matter what. Bloodshed included. And this time even Raila's supporters might wake up to this reality.

Anyway, i hope Raila's homecoming will brighten Kenya's news. We are tired of MCA's and thei impeachment song. We are also tired of grenades and IED's.

Illicit brews in Kenya proves fatal than a cholera outbreak

If there is one disease that all of you avid readers of this blog should watch out for when in Africa or any other region with tropical climate, then it should be Cholera.Forget HIV/AIDS, Malaria or Gornorrhea/Syphillis for those of you who cannot resist on landing. Cholera is the real deal.

Cholera is caused by a dormant bacteria - bacterium Vibrio cholerae. (thank God for Wikipedia). A cholera outbreak can kill more than 100 people within hours, before the usually demotivated health personnel( i speak of Kenyan ones) realize what is happening.Its not cholera that i will be talking about today, but its competitor in the killing business - illicit brews.

Kenyans are still coming to terms with the death of atleast 80 people and a similar number critically ill in hospital. This departed men, women, boys and girls were victims of a poisonous alcoholic drink that they consumed on Sunday 4th May 2014. The deaths were reported in atleast 6 Kenyan counties, where the drink aptly named "countryman" with an illustration of a cowboy on top of horse was supplied.

As expected Kenyan media houses mishandled the whole issue and as per tradition sensationalized and even tribalized the matter given that these 6 counties are in close proximity to the blessed mountain of God from which the noun KENYA was coined. Comparisons of how residents from Western Kenya drink busaa, how Coastals love their palmwine and tribal undertones of how a certain community is afflicted by illicit brews were awash in mainstream media as well as gutter press.

Facebook and twiiter pundits were not left behind, and one facebooker commenting on a photo of president Uhuru inspecting a guard of honour while on official visit to the Federal state of Nigeria, asked why the president looked jovial mood while his "voters" were dying of chang'aa (Kenyan speak for Nubian gin).

President Uhuru Kenyatta inspecting a guard of honour mounted by Nigerian defence force

The victims interviewed, stuck to the old tired line of, we-are-poor-and-we-need -alcohol-to-forget-that-we-are-poor. NACADA, an institution with the mandate to ensure Kenyans are not junkies and led by the able former alcoholic John Mututho, kept to the Kenyan tradition and quickly convened a crisis meeting. In this meeting,  they came up with statistics of how may pubs were in Nairobi, and specifically Juja area in the outskirts of Nairobi. They also in haste cobbled-up obscure laws that supermarkets should not display or sell alcohol, that liquor stores should open up at 5pm. One law, that caught my attention was that of making alcohol expensive with an aim of deterring people from accessing it. This to me was a very silly law which obviously will lead to the proliferation of cheap liqour.

The solution to the problem is let Kenyans be. I love my kwang kwang and i want to drink it when that demon in my mind demands it. Reduce the tax on Senator (Obama) Keg beer and legalize safe and hygienic distillation of Nubian gin.

Kalonzo is irrelevant in the current political scene in Kenya

Last week there was an outrage on social media after former vice president told off a journalist on the basis of tribe. It is no secret that Kenya is stuck with UhuRuto for the next 20 years just as Russia has been stuck with Putin/Medvedev in the past 14yrs.

Kalonzo might have stirred the hornets nest to remain relevant, but the CORD coalition still remains pale and un-inspiriring. The de facto CORD leader Raila Odinga is on a sabbatical in Boston and the vacuum left at home is evident. A vacuum that Moses Wetangula and Kalonzo Musyoka combined, leave alone individually cannot fill.

Although Kenyans protestations on Kalonzo's un-witty-ness are very hypocritical (Kalonzo was just being Kenyan), it is about time long-serving leaders hung their boots. Kalonzo is a well meaning leader who has served Kenya for a long period of time and should do the honourable thing of retiring from "active" politics because the presidency might be a little far fetched for him.There is a lot of respect in bowing out voluntarily. Kubanduka kuna heshima. The same can be said of the former prime minister Raila Odinga, even he stands at better odds as far as the presidency is concerned.

Tanzania - East Africa's economic giant

Walking down the streets of Kariokor in downtown Dar es Salaam on a cloudy humid day brings me face to face with Tanzania's entrepreneurial economy.Other than the buzz enamating from flies in the filthy stinking streets connecting to Kariakor and Uhuru streets, one cannot fail to notice the number of neat buildings coming up in the once rustic East African coastal city.

This time round, i'm in Dar for official purposes and not for pleasure and on this particular day i'm in the company of an acquitance from my host institution in Dar. He is taking me to his production studios on Masasi street in the expansive Kariakor business district.

The studios duplicate (the real word is pirate) foreign movies and package them. If you have been to East Africa and seen hawkers hawking foreign Dvd's - the likes that have 20 movies in one disk - then those are the ones i'm talking about.

My friends studio also translate english movies into swahili and sometimes lands contracts to legally duplicate Tanzanian productions in agreement with the copyright holder. Please note that these studios on Masasi, Magilla and Aggrey streets don't pirate Tanzanian productions, only foreign (Western, Indian and Chinese productions).

Most of these Dvds are shipped to DR Congo and Malawi but also find their way to Kenya, Burundi and Rwanda. One shipment yields (all overheads deducted) US$ 1,200 for my friend and he ships 2 consignments in a month.

This is not the only thriving business in Dar and Tanzania in general. The country is blessed with having plenty of food. Tanzanians in general love spending money but are also the number one money savers in East Africa. The country is sorrounded by 6 land locked countries, two (DR Congo and Zambia) which are rich in minerals. The country itself is very rich in a variety of minerals. Tanzania has the second largest African elephant populations in the World which stands at 400,000. Botswana has the highest number.

Tanzania is also already producing natural gas in Mtwara, south Tanzania and is tipped to be the second largest producer of natural gas in the near future.
Kenya is a sophisticated economy but at a closer look, Tanzania's economy might be larger than Kenya's

Nairobi aiport early morning inferno raises political tension in Kenya

Sabotage is what the fire at Jomo Kenyatta International airport was. As per my tradition, i will try to be accurate with my analysis of the situation as possible.

The whole of East Africa woke up to horrific images of fire gutting the biggest and the busiest airport in the region. Prior to the the incident there were major fuel hitches at the airport. A few days before, former prime minister of Kenya Raila Odinga had been denied access to the V.I.P lounge and the press reported it from a power games perspective suggesting that Jubilee government was trying to put Mr. Odinga in his place as a raiah and was not cognisant of Mr. odinga's "statemanly" privileges.

It went therefore that the news of the inferno received mixed reactions among Kenyans with CORDashians jubilating and viewing it as Karma for the humiliation of Raila Odinga by the young UHURUTO government. The President himself, Uhuru Kenyatta arrived early and addressed the nation. It was clear in his face that he was upset by the situation akin someone smeared with a rotten egg in the face.

As usual Kenyans could not resist speculating about the whole saga. From the little kamukunjis in downtown Nairobi to the slopes of the blessed mountain - Mount Kenya, fingers were being pointed.

The Raila fiasco was not the only drama that had happened in the airport on this fateful month. One Saul...ehm sorry, Paul Kamlesh Patni had been thrown out of Airport premises and his duty free shops looted. Kenyans were also suspicious of Pattni  and there was a conspiracy theory that Pattni Raila might had hired arsonists thugs to set ablaze the international arrivals terminal.

Luckily, Kenyans were so hungry and broke and therefore had to stop talking and got into the business of building the nation. They realized that talking could not put food on the table.

I Fully support UHURUTO's government- Kenya's Jubilee Government

Its a new dawn for Kenya. Kenya has the "coolest" government in Africa.Indeed Bob collimore while inviting President Uhuru Kenyatta to give his speech at the recently held groove awards, described H.E. Uhuru as a cool President.

Yes, it is true that Uhuru and Ruto are currently enjoying full power for the people by the people. They are enjoying majority support (that is democracy), contrary to what the the opposition pupports, The Jubilee government is very popular on the ground in Kenya. In actual fact, the jubilee government has even captured the imaginations of other Africa countries. This is evident by the attention the Kenyan government is getting from some countries considered as the powerhouses of Africa namely Nigeria and South Africa which had hitherto had lukewarm relationship with Kenya.

Kenya struck oil in the year 2012. It is an industralized nation. It is an English speaking Nation. What Kenya needed was young and sophisticated leadership which Uhuru and Ruto have aptly provided. The nation is very optimistic about the Jubilee government. Things are looking up.Africa be warned...Kenya has emerged

HUddah Monroe weeps after being evicted from Big Brother Africa 8 - The chase

Less than a week after Huddah's nude videos of her showering in the BBA house went viral on the internet, she finds herself on the next KQ flight out of Jozi and into Nairobi. After her name was called out as the next evictee, the Kenyan girl of Somali heritage could not hold her tears as she took the walk of shame from the diamond house to the eviction stage. Nigerian host IK could not help it but rub it in, when he made a remark that Denzel and Huddah will understand the "Hot room" while watching the show from outside.

Huddah expressed her dissapointment that Africa did not give her a chance to "showcase" herself. The irony of this statement lies in the fact that she laid herself bare or rather laid her naked  body bare for all to see during the morning exercises and shower sessions.

However, for Kenyans all is not lost as we stiil got Annabel to represent us, and also the fact that through Huddah we have re-learned the lesson that those who exalt themselves will surely be humbled in front of everyone.

A post mortem of Kenya's March 2013 General Election

As expected, elections in Kenya have left a sour taste in Kenyans mouths once again.

The Land issue and Kenyan politics

Listening to public debates and listening to public commentary i'm forced to unleash documented Kenyan history dating back the days in the Congo.....in the public debates, one phrase i find rather misconstrued and wrongly dated is "historical injustice". All Kenyan tribes speak of a birth-rite to land while historical evidence state that no human beings occupied Kenyan hinterland in the 10th Century.

The 21st Century Invasion of Africa by Europeans,Americans and Chinese

I note with concern that the population of Caucasians in Kenya has tremendously grown. They are all over the country under the pretense of VSO's and peace corps. Funny thing is they are not keen to leave but to stay long term. It is for this reason that the cost of living has shot up.
