POLITICIANS SHOULD NOT BE ELECTED TO FINISH INCOMPLETE PROJECTS.



POLITICIANS SHOULD NOT BE ELECTED TO FINISH INCOMPLETE PROJECTS.
Although politicians are already campaigning a few days into the official campaign period, their acts are contrary to the dictates of the election regulations. These illegal campaigns are at the full glare of an IEBC, which is supposed to independent and guided by the law.
          It is sad how politicians have no campaign agenda. No manifestos or policies to be sold to ‘wenyenchi’. Most politicians only rant tirades of abuses, character assassination and blatant defamation, wherever they go.
 Only a sissy who does not know how to seduce a lady, tells a potential girlfriend, how the other boys are bad and he is the best. It is almost impossible to endear yourself to another person by portraying a rival evil. The truth is, yourself you aren’t a saint.
          Such contenders who concentrate in tarnishing another politician’s name do not themselves add onto their image any popularity, but demonstrate themselves despicable and worthy to be ignored like plague.
          The opposition should be able to criticize constructively the government, without tarnishing the names of the incumbents. Conversely, the government has their track record to defend themselves without tarnishing the names of their opponents. The incumbent and the opposition together cannot extricate themselves from the failures witnessed in the previous coalition government in the period 2007-2013. The coalition government was a dual power centred government in which did not operate in unison. One faction was always in disagreement or dissatisfied with the decision the other faction that wielded more power made.
          The Jubilee government must be judged by the report card of their five year term. Consequently, the NASA government can only be judged by their promises, not until they assume office. Anything carried over from post independence to 2013 is empty rhetoric meant ostensibly to hoodwink Kenyans, this is because in 2010 Kenya ushered in a new legal dispensation, which is binding to all Kenyans and compensates on the loopholes in the former constitution.
          Politicians also should never be re-elected on account of incomplete work. First, even if they are not re-elected, the elect will inherit the moral obligation to finish the project. Two, some projects are deliberately started during or just before elections to act as a clarion call for their re-election. Worse still, some projects are stalled by mismanagement or improperly planning. The bottom line is political campaigns should be based on policies, manifestos and achievements not name calling.

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,

MONEY MAKES MAN MAD

Money is the exact opposite of the Holy spirit. Money changes people. When a poor person finally gets money, the person changes like a snake that sheds it's exo-skeleton or like a caterpillar that becomes a butterfly or a moth. The moth can never remember it's Caterpillar life.  Wait! Almost everyone who was not borne in a flood of money. Some men immediately start to think, they can be sponsors or even to the extreme end, add onto themselves more wives and concubines. Some men all of a sudden fall out of love with the women who stood with them at their lowest height below poverty level.  The worse though are women. when a woman who had not known money comes to find good money in the palm of her hands. Immediately she compulsively feels, " I don't need a man. Where can I take a man. I am independent. I can pay my rent, buy any clothe I want, I can buy a car and do everything I want. No I don't need a man."  That is when a married woman stops

ELECTION LAW AMENDMENTS

WHY ELECTORAL AMENDMENTS ARE A RECIPE FOR CHAOS. I think these amendments to electoral laws are the ultimate recipe for war and violence. The laws open a legal conundrum which even lawyers cannot unlock. I see a situation in which more than one president will be announced winners if the elections are to be held. Come to think of it. If three commissioners with one acting as the chair can declare a President then the probability of Kenya declaring two presidents concurrently is more than half. It is obvious, the chairman can disappear in the like manner Chris Chege Msando disappeared. Shit do happens. If this happens and the vice assumes the powers of the chair to declare a candidate validly elected president or any other member then voila! If there is a law that will haunt the nation, it is these impromptu amendments. We can run and run from the fact of the matter; these amendments are engineered to create a conducive atmosphere and act as an incentive to rigging. After the ci
