WHY PRESIDENTIAL AND RUNNING MATES DEBATE IS A WASTE OF RESOURCES AND TIME. ELECTIONS 2017 KENYA.

The presidential debates organised by the debates Media committee is absolutely of no significance. First, the contestants have no time since they have tight campaign schedules. There is a big difference between candidates who have miniature following of less than 1% and much more popular candidates with over 40% following. There is no way they can be placed under the same platform.

secondly, the most popular candidates taking over 40% have a greater possible of winning the presidency seat and as such deserve a separate platform on which value of time can be created and in which Kenyans can have ample time to interrogate the contenders on issues.

Thirdly, Some candidates who haven't displayed any seriousness and who are not drumming up any support, have deliberately intended to hijack the platform to use it as purely a campaign tool to reach out to potential supported.

Lastly, the debate organizers did not engage the contestants on several issues regarding the nature of the debate. Although the debates provide a suitable avenue for the public to interview the contestants, the debates are rendered irrelevant by the Manifestos which display a blue print of the party agenda and ambition. Even the politicians know well that everything they will deliberate on are captured in their manifesto, campaigns and the numerous media fora they attend daily to answer to the public like, Radio, Television, Newspaper, Music and others.

SUPREME COURT RULING

MY SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT I am not a lawyer and as such I am only qualified to render my layman’s submission to the court of public opinion, where one does not apply to be “amicus curiae.” In the court of public opinion everybody is both a lawyer and judge and so I can adduce my evidence confidently and make a ruling on my evidence. I want to usurp this opportunity to tell my one page judgment as Chief Justice David Maraga advised. The Chief Justice invited the public to read the Supreme Court judgment and subsequently make individual ruling.             Guys I tried to look at Chebukati trying by hook and crook to exonerate the commissioners from the mess and implicating the secretariat. Chebukati clarified they just assumed office a few months ago, coming into an old secretariat. Although the summary ruling of the Supreme Court judgment did not point out the culpability of the first and second respondents, my opinion is; ...

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 Rebellion of 1837 was the first and the only one revolt with certain scale, which occupies an important position in Canada history.

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...
