The Court Room

The police land-rover drove along Moi Avenue switching between lanes without courtesy while overtaking. The police vehicle was carrying a group of around eight suspects. At the back of the land-rover sat three stone faced police officers preventing the suspects from jumping out. The way they held their guns suggested that they were ready to turn anyone into history by the simple act of pulling a trigger...

2012 General Elections To be Held On 4th March 2013

Controversy is now brewing up in Kenya over when the 2012 general elections should be held. We have a working constitution which should be followed and implemented to the letter. So it makes no sense to start arguing when the elections should be held, it is something straight forward, even a small kid can be able to get it straight.

We overwhelmingly voted for the new constitution on August 4th 2010 and thus we demand that our leaders should honour it, otherwise there would be no need of having it in the first place. It is high time our leaders stopped taking us for granted. Our Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister, Mutula Kilonzo is suggesting December 2012, is he really following the Kenyan Constitution?


UPDATE
Things have changed and become 'elephant'. And this is the reason:

'Polls will be on 4th March, 2013

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has announced that the next general elections will be held on Monday, 4th March, 2013. Speaking at a press conference held in Nairobi and attended by Commissioners, the IEBC chairman said that the Cmmission had widely consulted and considered the options of the court ruling on the date of the elections. The chairman Mr. Issack Hassan said the two coalition principals, the Prime Minister and the President had failed to agree on a date for the elections thus leaving the Commission with the option of determining the date from the end of term of the current parliament.'

The question is for you Kenyans, when do you want to go to the polls? And when you go to the polls, what kind of leaders are you going to elect?


Let me hear your views, just post a comment below. Thanks.

NAIROBI

 NAIROBI, KENYA, the Green City in the Sun.

Nairobi  is the Cpital and largest city of Kenya. The city and its surrounding area also forms the Nairobi county. The name "Nairobi" comes from the Maasai phrase Enkare Nyirobi, which translates to "the place of cool waters". However, it is popularly known as the "Green City in the Sun" and is surrounded by several expanding villa suburbs. The people of Nairobi are popularly nicknamed 'Nairobians'.

WOES OF AFRICA

But why do Africa lag behind the other developed continents? Does it have to be the mother of third world countries? When is that time an ordinary African will enjoy being an African in his own country like their great - great – great grandfathers did many years back? For them, before the colonist arrived, they lived in harmony and they worked together towards a common goal. They did not have sophisticated equipments but they still could till their lands using sharp pointed sticks, they could hunt naked in the dense forests and bring food to their families. They had wealth, but look at their descendants today they are languishing in penury. People are dying for lack of food. What went wrong and we are still in the same continent where today we have sophisticated machinery and at that time our fore fathers used crude hand made tools? They had an easy life but today’s man is living from hand to mouth.

One big problem in Africa, is its leadership. Most wars in Africa have been engendered by the thirst for leadership and not a good leadership but a bad one filled with individualism where one only wants to fulfil his selfish dreams. This has turned Africa to a place where no democracy reigns. The continent haves lowly evolved and become a continent with cut throat political competitions where politicians are willing to execute their political enemies so as to remain in power, to continue oppressing the poor and to continue drinking their sweet sweat.

Time has come for us to change the face of Africa and make it a better continent. That can only be achieved by weeding out or the wicked politicians that we have.
