WHY THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD AVOID IMPROMPTU BANNS.

BANNING IS NEVER THE SOLUTION.

I have learnt banning anything in Kenya is never a solution but a source of problems. The best case scenario is the banning of the night bus travel. Just imagine how the dumb-ass decision has affected individual and national economies. You booked a bus at ksh 800 pre season and now you are being told you have to part with about ksh 2000, this Njaanuary.

The same to banning Shisha. Where is the wisdom in banning shisha and leaving behind the same tobacco in other forms? In short we approve of the same toxic chemicals bot not for  the piped form? Does it really create any difference even if one session of shisha is equal to smocking five packets of cigarettes? I don't think so. Cigarette and other toxic drugs are but a matter of choice between life and  death. Everybody should be left to bear his own choice.

What about banning of plastic paper bags? Well we could have done the right thing on this but in an imbecilic way. We are poised to lose all the gains we opted for. Right now there is a growing manace of cloth and manilla bags. Off course these are a lot worse when it comes to blocking drainage channels and physical pollution.

Solid waste management requires not only legislation but also public education on waste management, policy formulation and implementation on waste management.

The list is endless.

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...
