  P resident William Ruto embarked on a two day visit in Luo Nyanza, that is Homa Bay and Siaya Counties. Yesterday, he spend the better part of the day in Homa Bay county. He was welcomed by Governor Gladys Wanga , former Governor Awiti and other leaders who were or are members of the ODM party including elected Legislators in that county. In that County, President Ruto who is also accompanied by his Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, commission the Homa Bay market and also pledged to initiate a number of development projects which were given to him by the area leadership who kept their political differences aside to chat a common cause. It is cognizance to note that , this is the region which voted for Azimio la Umoja presidential candidate Raila Odinga to the last man. But since the President is a symbol of national unity, he is obliged to visit this part of Kenya. In a democracy like Kenya, all Kenyans have their political rights and are enshrined in our constitution. No region...

  L and is the most valued asset in Mt Kenya region , that's why , if you easily want to swindle someone his/her earned money, just tell them you are selling a land or you know someone doing it. After saying so , wait for the reaction , that's when you will realize that you don't deserve to use violence to get the huge sums of money you want from your target. He/she will fall into your hands very easily. That's the same script Lesedi land buying company CEO Geoffrey Gitahi perfected on and executed with much ease without struggling. Why should he struggle when he truly knows his kinsmen and women value land more than their lives. Through his Lesedi company, he has managed to swindle more than sh 1 Billion from helpless customers and investors. As we speak, in Mt Kenya region, there is hue and cry from all those who were conned I'm the name of land investment. As the CEO is eating with a big spoon, his victims are busy taking drugs to control their pressure because B...

  S ince handing over the instruments of power in a peaceful wat to his then Deputy President who ended up winning the August 9 presidential election President William Ruto , former President Uhuru Kenyatta has been preoccupiedin fighting lasting peace in both Ethiopia and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). As the former head of state , Uhuru Kenyatta has forba long time expressed a desire to allow peace to reign even when he was in power. As a realist, he should his fellow realists in the continent of Africa especially our neighbours Uganda. We all saw how the son of President Museveni was mad with him for retiring at the age of 61 years. How??? That's the question Lt. Gen Muhoozi has never got and answer on but the president was all through clear that , once his term comes to an end , he will hand over power to whoever will win , whether he supported him or not.  Ever since , he has been on and off Kenya trying hard to bring the warring parties on the table and to ensure th...

  I t is now clear that the battle lines between Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Nairobi County Governor Johnson Sakaja have been drawn and each is now going after the other jagular. Both have managed to attract factions who are holding the candle on their behalf behind them. For Governor Sakaja, his Western region political honchos have come to his aid by telling off DP Gachagua to keep off from meddling on Nairobi County politics and concentrate on the politics of his Nyeri County backyard. On the other side , political factions from Nyeri County and not the larger Mt Kenya region have come forward to spiritedly defend DP Gachagua by telling off Sakaja and his Western region kinsmen and women who have been throwing tirades towards the DP and even mooting an impeachment motion against him once Parliament recess is over. The late Nigeria literati Chinua Achebe in his novel , Things fall apart , he opines that things fall apart when the centre cannot hold. So far , the centre...

  W hen Morgan Heritage's family Gramps Morgan looked at what his fellow Jamaicans are going through especially in Kingston, he summed it up that there is nothing to smile for. Yes!! Life was unbearable, desolate and extremely hard. The cost of living had skyrocketed to astronomical levels. The government which could have stepped in to solve the problem became the problem itself. Here in Kenya, we cannot afford to hide our heads in the sand abd assume everything tfine. There is nothing to smile about and those few who are affording to smile are the political elites and any hoi polloi doing it is just feigning a smile. Feigning is the best word to use because, the 100 days since this new administration was sworn in has been a hell of time. The many things which were promised inorder to reduce the cost of living has turned to be black smoke which is billowing in a spiral manner in all corners of this Country. Kenya's economy is nose diving in an alarming rate. This is something w...

  T he 2022 KCPE results are out. In many parts of Kenya, parents, guardians , teachers and pupils are celebrating their victory and other are sobbing, blaming each other and disillusioned by the results they received. Again, you cannot plant wheat and expect to harvest Rice. It isn't possible. Again, in the history of Kenya and the KCPE exams , this is the year this results were casually released by a cabinet secretary of education. The fanfare and pomp that usually took place before, during and after the release of this exam was absolutely lacking. The CS Education hurriedly conducted this exercise as if he was squizzed by his itinerary. It is the media which is doing much of the statistical analysis of the general performance of this results. What was the hurry? Does it mean the CS has this kind of contempt towards the docket he is holding? How will he behave when he will be releasing the KCSE results come January? As the pomp and fanfare is taking place across the Country, ther...

  I t is now clear that the impeached Meru County Governor Kawira Mwangaza will face the Senate but this time round in a committee and not the plenary. Yesterday, a majority of senators agreed to investigate and prosecute Meru County affairs which were taken in that house by the MCAs of Meru County Assembly after impeaching their Governor in an overwhelming manner. Out of 67 MCAs , both elected and nominated, only 2 didn't agree with them. It is cognizance to note , Senate doesn't impeach a Governor. Infact, they don't have such powers. What they will do after going through the evidence brought before them , they will ventilate on it and critically collate it with a mammoth of accusations levelled against the Governor. If the mover of the impeachment motion against the Governor will solidly prosecuting his case and nail the government, then ,the 11 member committee will unanimously vote to send Governor Mwangaza home or untie the noose on her neck. Also it is good to rememb...
