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,...

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...

ELECTIONS ARE EVIL HENCE THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD

THE TROUBLE WITH KENYAN ELECTIONS The current legal stalemate bedeviling the country can be attributed to reluctance on the part of Kenyan institutions to adhere to the rule of law. The chief culprit is the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission and the government. Jubilee party has merged with the state so that the country is not ruled by the Jubilee government but by the Jubilee party. The party even controlling an independent IEBC This diabolic precedence started way back in 2013 when Jubilee, not in a free and fair manner, rigged their way to statehouse.   The Supreme Court then did not make satisfactory findings, though the petitioner accepted the verdict. Since then the party had been choreographing another rigging scheme. Although democracy entails the decision of the majority to prevail, Jubilee has taken advantage to exercise tyranny. The government rules its own way independent of the wishes of the people. Even annihilating and trampling the law more o...
