Michuki memorial park:For what?


Somebody pinch me, because I must really be dreaming. A man does one little act ,one that has been done ten times over by someone else and here we are rushing to immortalise him. I THINK ,Wangare Maathai must be turning in here grave,wondering what the heck Michuki did? Naming of that park after Michuki is not helping anyone. If anything the guys clamaring for this should do better and rihabilitate some more of the river other than spend money on the park.

EALA atempting to save the Ocampo 4


When will polititians get reasonable for their own sake. We thought the Kenyan lot was rotten but we now know better. Its in all of them, the propensity to get stupid. The need to regroup when one is in danger, even when they are in the wrong. Yesterday I was stunned by the news that the East African Legislative Assembly was even discussing the matter of the ocampo four leave alone the thought of them working on reffering the cases to the East African court of justice. Where were they all this while. Isn't surrender termed as a stratedy even in the political arena? Call it giving up or letting nature take its course.I guess some people need lessons.

Rotary Kenya still Running Polio Campaign?


I am not in the medical field neither do i know any docs or Nurses on a personal level, meaning my facts may be greatelly distorted on polio. That having been said can someone tel me why the Rotary Club of Kenya still thinks polio is something we should be kicking out. As I disclaimed in the start I don't know this things but I think we can direct our efforts somewhere else.....

CRA Revenue allocation formular


Kenya is a country of firsts on many fronts,we have the fastes runners and I think this is catching up with our intelligence too.Some MPs in the eastern and north eastern parts of kenya are crying wolf over thr CRA'S Revenue Allocation Formular.....They say population should not be given the 60% weight it has, they may be right. They however should not brush of the population factor. It should still carter for a good chunk of the allocation formular. They should realise the effect of domestic tax on the total revenue collected in the country. Do they know that a huge chunk of kenyas revenue is from domestic tax. Meaning, dispite the need for regional balance Nairobi still needs working on. Those who leave in Nairobi should not be forced to sacrifice their would have been better life as they have a right to it through the tax they pay. No one should take this to mean I consider the formular fair, not at all. We Know North Eastern needs roads schools and hospitals to attaract populations just like Nairobi and many other urban centers that promise better service through better infrustarcture....A re-look at the CRA revenue allocation formular is needed.

Nairobi city council ISO certified,Really?


There is no way a council that runs on undequalified stuff and one that collects revenue without service get ISO certified. The city council of Nairobi can not justify its existence when roads are flooded, street lights are down n sewage runs in the river and road sides....this certfication doesnt just add up. Unless its given for poor service delivery.

Deal with MRC Now


The Mombasa Republican Council or MRC as its now famously known is bound to a thorn in the Kenyan flesh if its not stopped in its trucks now. Like the Mungiki some few individuals would like ti toy with the idea of using it further their political interests but it will run out of controil even for these politicians. Its for the interest of the government and the fact that democracy demands individual libeties to be left at that, at the individual level. The cardinal rule of democracy though should not be forgoten, you have rights just to the extend that they do not interfear with my freedom, when your perported right messes with mine it ceases to be a right and thus an infringement....puting this in context might prove a little hard but we know the activities of MRC are interfearing with the greater good.

The Black Hole Thats Mudavadi's Political Future


Musalia Mudavadi could as well be labled the master of political blunders. There is no telling it with certainity but we know that the Debuty Prime~minister has no marshalling power independently. He has at best been riding under some god father figures wing. As the papers rightlly put it he is easilly labled a MOI opharn togethre with Ruto and Uhuru. The regrouping of the orphans must allude some growth and and imaginary strength but political pundits know better. It will be rather hard for Mudavadi to manuver the political landscape outside the largest political party in Kenya so far.
