Kenya’s Deputy President. DP Ruto is naturally a diplomatic disaster, which is unfortunate for Kenya’s diplomatic standing in the region . He’s obviously a poor student of international relations. This is a really sad affair for a man who is just a heartbeat away from being the country’s numero uno . Let’s face it; the man was just being himself when he condescendingly disparaged the citizens…

DP William Ruto (in yellow) and Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga (in blue). Tanga Tanga adherents, led by their chief online insurgent – one Dennis Itumbi, are becoming too embittered in these streets. Reason being; they feel that the government they helped form is screwing them really hard and dry. At this rate, they might develop stomach ulcers and slide into depression. James Orengo…

Let’s face the elephant in the room. The new Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) System of Education in Kenya is simply untenable. For starters, it is making education so punitive on the Kenyan parents and a majority of them are suffering silently. The Covid-19 pandemic that is currently ravaging the globe hasn’t made things any easier for parents. Currently, we are doing four school-terms a…

THE KIAMBAA BY-ELECTION AND 2022 POLITICS.

The war of political supremacy between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his DP is far fron over. Ati Suleiman (Ruto) aligonga Goliath (Uhuru) na mawe moja tu “Daa! taaro!“ akaangusa yeye chini?😂 The narrative being peddled that Ruto gave Uhuru a beating, in the just concluded Kiambaa by-election, is as inaccurate as the hilarious Father John Pesa’s Suleiman narrative above, which we were treated to…

Incoming Kiambaa MP, Kariri Njama. If the people of Kiambaa are looking for a true leader, not a joy-rider or a socialite, then I am convinced that Kariri Njama is their best bet. Humble, kind, brilliant, self-driven and focused are just a few adjectives I would use to describe the man. I am not describing him out of hearsay; neither do I hold brief for the Jubilee party. For those who…

DP William Ruto Meets Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni at Mubende State Lodge in Uganda. Ruto’s Dalliance with Mseveni (a man who seized power by the barrel of the gun, before acquiring despotic tendencies) seems to send a not-so-subtle message to the powers that be in Kenya. What is he planning with M7? Don’t tell me he has been holding official bi-lateral talks, with the Ugandan president,…

President Kenyatta addresses the 34 newly-appointed judges, after they were sworn in at Statehouse Nairobi, on June 4th, 2021.

Is Social Media morphing into a fake, make-believe world, where a new form narcissism thrives? Addiction to taking selfies and posting them online, might a sign of narcissism. It is an open secret that on social media, all of us are tempted to put our best foot forward. Folks tend to hide their vulnerabilities and only show their strengths. In the realm of the virtual world, users mostly count…

Education is a key pillar of success in life. If you were to lose every material thing that you own today, and you are left without anything on your name; what unique skills and knowledge do you have that people will be ready to pay you for? You can lose your business: Businesses fail due to unforeseen circumstances, such as the COVID-19 pandemic that has engulfed the world.You can lose your…

President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga after the famous HANDSHAKE that gave birth to the BBI process. After last Thursday’s stunning high court ruling on BBI, what we should be celebrating now is the maturity of our democracy, regardless of the side of the political divide that we support. It seems our judiciary has finally grown some real teeth. The bold ruling against the BBI…

Face-to-face conversations are crucial in creating deep connections and more authentic personal relationships. Part I: Is Social Media Killing Meaningful Real-life Relationships? After the discovery of the internet, the world became “a global village”. You might have heard this cliché several times than you care to count already. What it means is that sharing of information has become much…
