NAIROBI WOES WORSENS

THE FALL OF NAIROBI COUNTY
With the inception of county government in 2013, Kenyans, specifically the over three million nairobians, had extravagant expectations from one man Dr. Evans Kidero who was to be the first inaugural governor taking on an elephantine task of steering the most crucial county housing Kenya's capital and national headquarters. It was an uphill task but albeit with the competence and management proficiency he had, the son of Asumbi was poised to achieve a lot and mitigate Nairobi's problems.

Unfortunately Nairobians are an impatient generation. They wanted everything sorted in one year. What a hypocrisy? Without structures  foundations making remarkabke progress in two years could not only be described as a pipe dream but a daytime reverie. Kidero needed time to achieve transformation of the city. His second term would be a critical opportunity to enable his government execute his ambitious plans after fixing structures and rudimentals,too bad his reelection was rigged.


Ever since Dr. Evans Kidero was robbed of his bid to bring to completion his blue print for Nairobi, Nairobians have been faced with a more pathetic state of affairs courtesy of an  incompetent, not up to snuff half-arsed leadership.

I don't want to think about the mugging in the city centre that has necessitated an Anti-mugging squad, the bodaboda riders fiasco and the return of hawkers on the pavements of the CBD. Am not crying foul over the spate of insecurity at Muthurua and the entire Nairobi county, nor am I pegging the sorry state of insecurity to the newly amorphous Nairobi business community. Though, I believe these people constitute the greatest number of hardcore criminals in Nairobi. In fact they only swing into action only once there is a civil protest

The most intriguing social insecurity upheaval I have seen happened a few days ago in Nairobi. A criminal gang alleged to be The Forty Brothers ambushed some church in industrial area, codoned the area and took charge of the church premises. For over one hour the church was under siege by the 40Brothers(as is alleged).

The worshippers both within the church house(Temple of God), within the compound and those trouping in were frisked of valuables in a rough manner. Once they were done they flee leaving the worshipers counting their trials and tribulations within the holy ground. Should I liken this to the destruction of Jerusalem by emperor Titus or King Nebuchadnezzar in the 6C BC? I don't know.

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

CHIEF JUSTICE IS ALSO THE HEAD OF A BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT.

CHIEF JUSTICE IS THE HEAD OF JUDICIARY. In the principles of separation of power, The President is not the head of government. He is the head of state. He heads one arm of the government called executive. The chief justice is the head of Judiciary (not attorney general). He is the president of the supreme Court - the highest court of the land. Then there is the Speaker, who is the head of parliament. Most of the times many have thought the attorney general heads the Judiciary but no. Attorney general's chief role is advising the president and parliament. He is an ex- officio member of parliament and also a member of the executive. He is part of the cabinet which forms the executive. Parliament, both Senate and Legislative assembly are charged with making laws. The executive implement those laws and other functions while Judiciary reserves the decision as to who has violated aIntern the laws and interpretes the law and the extent and impacts of those transgressions.

HOW ATTACKING YOUR OPPONENT WORKS AGAINST YOU

HOW JUBILEE CAMPAIGNS FOR NASA Duale has encouraged a majority of Kenyans to send money to pay bill  991444 and your ID number as the account number. It takes men of resolve to stand on the side of truth, democracy and burry the culture of bungling presidential elections. All first and second liberation was never on a silver splatter. The third liberation even if it does not come through Raila will be the most contested compared to the former two. A new Kenya is an expensive venture, Kenyans must be ready to go the extra mile.  Kenyans will brace every hardship to the confines of  their pockets. Remember Some people like Samantha Pendo who knew nothing about elections paid with their dear lives. Many people have paid the price with their blood, it can't be equated to sending ksh 10 free of charge courtesy of Safaricom. I pity majority leader Adan Duale, he thinks he can take on Raila as his equal in a duel but every time he speaks about Odinga, the latter gains lots of p
