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.

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 ...
