  K enya is a democracy and as such , we have come a long way to be where we are. In the larger East Africa region , Kenya is the only country that can give the best definition of the word democracy. The rest of its counterparts are military, autocratic and authoritarian regimes. Some are in the hands of military leadership like Rwanda and Burundi, others are in a pseudo democratic leadership like Tanzania and others are in the hands of authoritarian, despotic and dictatorial gerontocrats who believes that , unless the law of natural attrition knocks at their doorsteps , they will still hold on to power. To them , the word democracy is foreign concept and an understatement. They only organize for elections for cover up. Only a senile and nitwit brain can stand up to cheer them for embracing democracy. They have converted their countries to be their personal fiefdoms. To them , the law starts where they stand and ends at exactly the same spot. Kenya transitioned from autocracy to de...

The who National Government Administration Officers (NGAOs) have traded all their energies and attention towards the fight against this liquors. But what they are forgetting is , there is another serious problem and enemy who have invaded all the homesteads , farms , markets , shopping centres, tea buying centres and even churches. Entertainment and eatery joints too haven't been spared by this enemy. The enemy here is non other but this gambling lotteries which are being conducted by our vernacular station stations. I ain't here to attack them but to speak out the enemy within us. The second generation liquors is our enemy number two and not number one as many in this region have been made to believe. It has come to the attention of many people in this region that , our parents are the ones who are now notoriously addicted to this betting lotteries whic...

  A f ter some weeks of rest , I have decided to refill my pen with new ink. The ink that I am sure will take me for long weeks or probably months. Many of my urdent readers were pressing me hard to explain to them why the pen a long sabbatical leave. Worry not now , it is refilled with much zeal , gusto , vigor and temerity. For the past few weeks , the mainstream and social media has been awash with a protracted war between the government and the bandits in Baringo, Samburu , Turkana and Elgeyo Marakwet Counties. The bandits had gone a notch higher by lightning fire , staging attacks where people have been killed immediately Interior CS Prof Kindiki Kithure held a security meeting. The recent one the other day was in Baringo where , as the CS was in the middle of the meeting, flanked by top security cadres in the National Police Service and the locals , the bandits lit fire and a white smoke was seen from a distance billowing in a spiral manner into the thin sky. That was a signa...

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.
