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.

The Moribund Nationalist that is Kiraitu Murungi

once a pone a time in the History of Kenyan forklore there leaved a truel nationalist in the form one Kiraiti Murungi. This man it is claimed had very articulate anectodes of ideas on ways if turning the rote that was the Kanu lead Kenya to a vibrant all inclusive nation that respected the rule of law and equlity in all spheres of life. This man went ahead to even publish a book 'in the mud of politics' to help propaget his ideas. This was in the 80's,when Kiraitus anger was driven by the sidelining of his own from enjoyment of the national cake. Now that he sits high up , his ideas could well be seen to have been the best work of fiction. THE KIRAITU of then did not exits but only in some peoples figment of imagination. where are the true nationalist in Kenya?

Another Nyeri First

Nyeri has refused not to be in the news. It seems these county town will by all means hit headlines fro good or bad. We had about the rampant husband beating. Now its claimed that a Nyeri son killed his father over a sigaratte. Really? What is the matter with Nyeri and can we help?

OIL prices up again?

It seems like a game. One that is one sided as there seems to be no opponents. The ERC which since its formation has done more harm than good was at it again, shooting prices up the roof when internationally the price of oil is reducing. What on earth are they using to determine their prices? 7 more good kenyan shillings is what motorists will have to bare with till mid May when new prices will be anounced.

300 million a year for neclear in 2022

When countries like Japan and germany are trying to move a way from nucler power Kenya is well on its way to aquiring the technology ten years into the future. the committee charged with the responsiblity of fasttracking aquisition of the tech says it needs 300 million each year for the next ten years to get us there.I dont know about you but if we cant keep away alshaabab and tame mungiki or MRC can we really handle the volatile nucler? I would conforablly ensure we have the ricght capacity in many iother areas before embarking on getting kenya to swallo more than it can chew. there are dams to think of, wind power and solar . This sources am sure will not cost that much to acquire and we will get results as soon as we put our money to it unlike nuclear that needs a grace period.

North Korean Rocket Lauch Fails

According to credible sources mainly the US the much touted rocket lauch by the North Korea may have failed. North Korea had shocked the world with the confidence they had demonstrated in the technology going to the extend of inviting international media to witness the launch. Many questions now abound with the revelations that the rocket broke apart seconds after living the lauch pad.

Airtel Kenya behaving badly

If you are an Airtel customer then like me you may have discovered they are trying to sign you to their 'skiza' tune through the back door. They send you a message claiming you are a lucky to be given the chance to use the tune for free for a week. They then prompt you to accept the free offer. The trick is, when you do, you will automatically be signing on to be charged for something you dont need at all after the free trial period. It buffles me that Airtel Kenya has run out of ideas of making momey and now it has resorted to underhand dealing.One wonders then, how is it that AIRTEL is said to have been very succesful in India?

Boycotting olympics for Uhuru and Ruto

What temerity? Who on earth do these two young men think they are. Who really cares if they languish in hell or not. Should our lives stop because of the plight of a few kids who decided on there own volition to play with fire...After failed shuttle diplomacy, now Uhuru and Ruto think they can take the Icc by hoowinking kenyan athletes into boycotting the olympics. In their wisdom may be this will catch the attention of the UN security council and together with the 5 million signatures they intend to collect. A dying horse kicks am told, but this one is kicking too much.
