KAPENGURIA SEVEN



REST IN PEACE FALLEN KAPENGURIA SEVEN.
My deepest condolences to the bereft families of seven slain gallant, patriotic officers in Kapenguria. This is an article I wrote on the daily nation last year April last year. I have just read it again and I can’t help being remorseful. Police officers go through a lot.
 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, led to their encounter with the brutal gun Burrell.
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 isolated cases of disgraceful acts from rouge police officers will always occur.
Radicalization is a much 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 campaign 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 remanded did nothing toward helping the police officers take control of the situation. Perhaps had the remanded helped there would have been just one or two lives lost or even no loss of life.
Even though it’s 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 portrayed 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...

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 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...
