SYOKIMAU DEMOLITIONS: Was it fair???

When will the Kenyan government cease to hurt its citizens? Inflation, high fuel prices, high food prices and the latest innocent peoples' houses demolished?!! Our country Lands offices are now run by con men who sell land to innocent buyers only for the land to be declared on government land? how can that be allowed in this government and the con artists are still working in the govt meant to protect its citizens? I say, these people who have worked hard to buy land in this area should be compensated and the Kenya Airports Authority to assist in resettling the affected families and pay for the destuction of properties! Why didn't they stop them in the first place before they begun construction only to wait when they have spent millions of money and years in building their dream homes!! Someone somewhere is sleeping on the job and should be sent home, not to be allowed near any citizens service position ever!!nkttt!

WE HAVE TRUE HEROES, KENYAN DEFENCE FORCES.

The Kenyan Defence Forces have united in a major showdown in Somalia in pursuit and demolition of the Al Shabaab terrorist group which in the past few months had wreaked havoc in our country at the borders by kidnapping tourists and NGO workers. This has been a major threat to our country and its economy. KDF has already advanced towards the terror groups stronghold with the backing of IGAD and Transitional Federal Government soldiers,from Somalia's Transitional Government. The Al Shabaab has been receiving support from the Al Qaeda network to create a terror base in Africa. Our country has its latest addition in the list of Heroes and Heroines who wouldn't mind to put their lives at risk for the sake of their motherland,our beloved country Kenya.

R.I.P, Prof. Wangari Muta Maathai, 1940-2011: Where will another Heroine like her come from?

Kenya has lost one of the finest thinkers who fought for what many people back then wondered why the bother. Pro.Wangari was one educated woman who was a fighter for the environmental health and a great veterinary scientist. Her dedication to save and protect the earth saw her get recognised by the world and an honour, the most prestigious, bestowed upon her, the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo. She fought the Moi regime and crashed a plan to build a 60 storey skyscrapper in Uhuru Park, a fight which didn't end up without her getting a few bruises. This caused a national and world wide outrage to all who supported Prof. Maathai for the protection of the park. At one time, she wept whe a large tall tree was cut down!! Oh how she was in love with the environment! Despite all that, the late Prof.Wangari Maathai remained a heroine and prophetess who got better recognised abroad than home. She Founded the Green Belt Movement to fully protect and fight for the Environment, which plants trees and conserves the environment.

Her legacy will forever remain as she was a soldier who fought for the future of our country environmentally wise and for justice, social and democracy for the benefit of the current and future generations. May her soul rest in Eternal Peace, Great Kenyan Hero,Daughter and Mother to all of us.

HAIL KENYAN HEROES!

Salute to all Kenyans who made us proud by winning medals at the recently ended World Athletics Championships in Daegu

LUMUMBA HAS BEEN A TARGET FOR LONG

On Thursday the 26th August, Kenyan MP's unanimously passed an amendment to scrap The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission its powers to prosecute all corruption suspects even if the DPP fails to do so.They also introduced an amendment to sack the KACC director and his deputy immediately the Bill is passed. In my opinion, this plot has been planned since some corrupt Members were publicly questioned by the commission on corruption cases involving them. MP's have had this ulterior motive to do away with Lumumba who seemed to be a thorn in the flesh upon them. Corruption is a major development hiccup that affects our country and I would recommend that the KAcc be an independent institution to deal with all graft cases without the involvement or inteference of the August House because, how can you investigate your own boss if u are working under his supervision?

MP'S Should Pay Tax!

Kenya National Assembly Speaker Hon. Kenneth Marende is the last person i thought would call a conference and state that the recently passed constitution should be amended on certain articles to exempt them from paying taxes! Quite a number of MP's who campaigned for the new constitution are Lawyers by profession and they knew what was coming, why didn't they refuse it then, only to come up when the taxman is calling at the 11th hour to speak ill of it by proposing some laws change? Millions of Kenyans are middle and low income wagers who patriotically pay taxes and do so as it is their duty. Since August 2010, they did know that the new constitution states that nobody is exempted from paying tax including the Members of Parliament. Why go around chest thumping that they won't pay tax and even come up with the thought of changing the laws? Mark you, Kenyan MPs' are the highest paid lawmakers in Africa. My opinion is that our MPs' are a strange species from this planet. Whats wrong in giving Caesar what is rightfully his? I support the Taxman in doing his job, no matter the cost, taxes should be paid. If an Auction is the last option, i second that! Watch out Hon. Members of Parliament, 2012 is near!!!

Who is Harun Mwau?

Recently, Newspapers all over the world flashed headlines about Kilome MP Harun Mwau and his censoring by the United States President Barack Obama for reasons that link him to Drug Trafficking. Mwau bounced back to the limelight through Kenyan Parliament a few weeks ago when he said that his life was in danger since him name was listed by the U.S president as a 'drug Kingpin' together with a few others. 10 days later, his bodyguards reported that his car was shot at by some gun men along city hall way but the police didn't buy their story, putting them to questions on how they managed to survive the bullet riddled car and escaped unhurt.
I wonder what is going on in his(Mwau's) mind taking note that he is now wanted in the U.S.A. Back home, Mwau is considered as one of the wealthiest Kenyan with vast business and shipping links. At one tyme, he had offered to pay air tickets for all councillors from his province to the U.K. Questions on where Mwau got all his wealth became the story on everyones' lips since his name was mentioned by former US Ambassador Michael Ranneberger linking him to the hard drugs as a major supplier. Let us all watch as this story continues and the truth will one day be known.....here is a sample of the letter from the President Of the U.S on the foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act;

ETHNICITY BUG

This is one of the most dreaded issue in Kenya when it comes up between 'people' of a certain region against 'people' who are said to have settled there from 'their' region. Ethnic background is not anyones' choice to have been born in a particular community. This is just mere stupidity to start suggesting how a people should leave your region, whereas they also are from the same country you are living in. A recent survey showed that a particular community has the highest number of civil servants working in different government stations as compared to other communities. If this issue goes on and the debate still linger across tribal minds, come 2012 and we will witness the horrific acts upon fellow country men in the name of their Ethnic background.
Let us not judge others on their ethnicity, but let us judge people with their performance. Let every civil servant be judged according to the level of effectiveness in his/her job position. That way, we shall adapt the method everywhere and make Kenya the great country it is BETTER!

BAHASHA YA OCAMPO

Whatever happens to the suspected perpetrators in Ocampos' list, let us remain united and move our nation to greater heights and respect. Hague is not ours, its only a court of justice, so, let the law do its course. Remember, Kenya is a Great Country, not the chosen few.

WIFE BATTERERS

Men are not and never going short of it. Every day, women suffer in the hands of men they loved and believed they were loved back.Wife beaters do not love their wives. What they call love others call control and possession. Even their jealousy, and some act extremely jealous does not stem from love but from a sense of ownership: she is mine, so no one else can have her. Keep that in mind! The same goes for respect. The hitting and the constant beatings comes from a lack of respect.Much of what they say to their wives makes them sound angry or even not right in the head. But you cannot take everything they say at face value: they lie and make up stuff just to throw her off balance. Like when they say she is seeing other men.
They beat their wives because they can get away with it, because it is how they have learned to control their wives to get what they want. Because what they want matters so much more than what their wives want. This mornig, i overheard a woman cry out as she xplained how her man came in at around 2 am, accompanied by his concubine and beat her up. He even went to the extent of snatching her wrist watch and gave it to the conc.!! He pulled and cut her hair and all this in the presence of the other woman. That i believe was madness of the highest order!! Luckily, someone offered to help the woman when she called a local radio station in every way he could. Do such people have the right to continue living out there, preying on innocent women with a sheep skin? Please ladies, watch out and try to make your man respect and appreciate you.

POLITICS IN KENYA

Our country is now in a new and tense mood. with all these politicians trying to woo Kenyans into considering them as their choice in the next General elections, do u think it's worth it? Kenyans have in the past years shown their displease in the said politicians on matters concerning governance. Corruption has taken its toll and their inability to fulfill their pledges towards development has seen them being despised by the same voters they are now trying to woo. Are their campaigns worth it? I don't think Kenyans want this type of people in their leadership seats again. What do you think of your leader? Does he deserve that top seat again?
