THE SIEGE OF KAPENGURIA POLICE STATION


RIP COMRADES
My sincere deepest condolences to the bereft families, the seven slain patriotic gallant officers in Kapenguria. It is sad that by trying to uphold the law, they paid with their dear lives. The officers resolve to remand in custody a man suspected of links with Alshabaab terror group, lead to their encounter with the brutal gun burrel.

 It is completely ridiculous and preposterous to blame the police officers for their own death and to concoct somehow a political narrative out of this unfortunate occurrence.    Of course the police know better that apart from protecting the lives of the masses, their own security is paramount. Even within the disciplined police service, such disgraceful acts from rouge police isolated cases will always occur. Radicalization is a far worse disease than the dragon of corruption. Even within the police service itself it is almost impossible to completely weed out Alshabaab adherents or sympathizers. To make the matter worse if the suspect in question indeed had terrorist links, then it is possible that he has already infected the innocent mind of his students and many in that locality with his morbid religious ideologies.

Following this heinous brutality meted on our police officers. It is therefore imperative that the campaighn against radicalization be extended to the police service. The uniformed men and women should be vetted afresh against radicalization and those found to be pro-terrorism rehabilitated. There is need for better equipment to combat terrorists coupled with a more advanced training so as to prevent more casualties during rescue operations. It is sad that it had to take over 8 hours to bring the rogue officer in control. And that the remandees did nothing toward helping the police officers take control of the situation. Perhaps had the remandees helped there would have been just one or two lives lost or even no loss of life. Even though its not advisable to take action where a single move or a careless utterance can attract a close range bullet, there are some situations where something can be done especially where there is just a lone attacker. We thank the police for the selflessness they portray while standing for their country. May their souls rest in peace?

SAMANTHA THE PERFECT GIRL.

With the emergence of sex dolls for men, Samantha's, the striking difference in men and women interns of sex cannot be overemphasised. Sexuality of men and women are diametrically opposed to each other. Men want sex for physical satisfaction( in most cases) while women want sex for emotional satisfaction. Women give sex to men as a precious gift. A proof of submission and sacrifice. Women undoubtedly believe giving sex is the ultimate show of love. "A man can cheat on his woman and still love her but a woman cannot cheat on her man and still love him. I say this because while men do not have sex with emotions, women can't have sex without attaching emotions to it. This is the reason men simply need a place to have sex while women need a reason to have sex. Most women who take their husbands to court for divorce are those that cheat on their men. A non cheating woman would most likely never take her husband to court for divorce, unless the man exceedingly abuses her ph...

THE STRUGGLE OF THE LUO NATION.

HOW THE LUO MANTLE NEVER SAW THE LIGHT OF DAY Although, Thomas Joseph Odhiambo Mboya was never among the Kapenguria six or the prominent Mau-mau fighters, who were passionate to defend their ancestral land to the last drop of their blood; he played the most fundamental role in the clamor for Kenya’s independence. His was an epic monumental activism that must have been the invisible force which pushed the imperialists to full conviction to relinquish African land.   The Kapenguria six were arrested by the colonial government as the luminaries of the Mau mau rebellion, and were incarcerated in Kapenguria for 9 years. Among the six was Ramogi Achieng Oneko. Who was born in Tienga village Uyoma sublocation, the year 1920. Alongside other Mau-mau fighters he is credited with the invincible feat of Kenyas independence in 1963, through his critical role in their uprising. The then prime minister, Jomo Kenyatta appointed him to the portfolio of minister for information, broadcas...

A FEW PICKS ABOUT VALENTINE AND BROKEN HEARTS.

I have been following on Valentine's day heartbreaking escapades of what sacrifices guys made for the sake of love, and am left in a reality limbo. The question that rings in my mind is is if indeed love exists? A man braced himself for a two year jail term sentence for an offence which was perpetrated by his lover. Sadly the girl who stole from her father a good amount of money went ahead to incriminate her husband after they had agreed the husband would come in to stand in for his wife in prison. By the time the guy was released from incarceration his love had left him. In a separate incidence a lady boycotted their wedding, broke a relationship two days to the wedding, fled and eloped with a white German man. It happened that two days to the wedding, one of the brides maid called the groom who was far from the wedding venue, telling him the wedding was bound not to be. The groom got concerned,,travelled down south to interrogate the issue one on one. When he found the bride,...
