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.

The Reasons for the Rebellion of 1837 in Upper Canada

The Reasons for the Rebellion of 1837 in Upper Canada INTRODUCTION There was neither big revolution nor dependence war in the history of Canada. The Rebellion of 1837 was the first and the only one revolt with certain scale, which occupies an important position in Canada history. In The Rising in French Canada 1837 , Joseph Schull indicates that the Rebellion of 1837 is the mirror of the conflicts among developing national and political philosophy, different life styles. It’s a test for the people and leaders of the country. There were two armed uprisings of 1837 which took place in the lower and Upper Canada respectively. In the lower Canada which was ethnically heterogeneous, comprising both the French and English colonialists; the revolt was due to political ethno-exclusivity. The colonial administration treated the two factions with discrimination. It favored the English colonialists and neglected the voices of the French colonialists. However, in the Upper Canada, t...

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...

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 ...
