KENYA WILL STAY IN ICC WHETHER UHURU KENYATTA AND WILLIAM RUTO LIKE IT OR NOT.These illiterate MPs led by Dualeought to read the Constitution ofKenya. The National Assembly has no constitutional capacity to pull Kenya out of the ICC. Only the people can pull Kenya out of the ICC in a referendum. Article 255 (1) of the Constitution of Kenya says ‘a proposed amendment to this Constitution shall be enacted in accordance with Article 256 or 257, and approved in accordance with clause (2) by a referendum, if the amendment relates to any of the following matters - (a) the supremacy of this Constitution;’ etc. The article on supremacy of the constitution is Article 2 which states‘ (5) The general rules of international law shall form part of the law of Kenya. (6) Any treaty or convention ratified by Kenya shall form part of the law of Kenya under thisConstitution.Kenya ratified the Rome Statute,which is a treaty. The country can therefore only withdraw from the Rome Statute by Kenyans voting in a referendum to pull out. Furthermore, the Rome Statute commits Kenya to respect general rules of international law, which include protection of people from crimes against humanity, genocide and war crimes. Parliament has absolutely no power to alter our commitments in the Rome Statute.Kenya belongs to all Kenyans, not to Uhuru or Ruto. If they committed crimes against humanity, then they deserve to be in prison. If they are innocent, they have nothing to fear and they will be acquitted. We must oppose Jubilee Coalition plans to pull Kenya out of the ICC, a very important institution for international law beneficial to Kenya now and in posterity. If they want Kenya out of the ICC, let us have a referendum for all Kenyans to decide whether to stay in ICC or not. I'm confident Kenyans will vote overwhelmingly to stay in ICC.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Mr. Riley was already there when they arrived, sitting on the sand, eyes closed in a deep meditation. He was shirtless, wearing camouflage-patterned shorts similar to the ones The Spellbinder styled the day he appeared on the beach and a pair of rubber diving booties with smiley face emojis scattered over them. You would have been more than amused if you saw him in them. An assistant rushed out of the billionaire’s home the instant he raised a hand toward the heavens, displaying the universal victory sign. Three crisp pages of paper were effic...

MOURNING THE ONLY PRINCIPAL I KNEW

By Dr.Paul Bundi Karau I arrived at Kanyakine High School on 18th February 1999 a small village boy. I had never been to a boarding school, and certainly this is the furthest from home I had ever gone. The boys who were assigned to escort me to Mungania dorm looked at my stunted height and loudly wondered how I would survive in Beast's school.  "Who is Beast?" I asked in bewilderment. "You will know." Musyoki answered curtly. It didn't take me long to know who Beast was. The following day, as the 10 o'clock tea was being served, I heard a commotion, with boys leaving their tea and running helter-skelter towards the classrooms.  I was a fresh mono, so I didn't know what was happening. I ran along the pavement, and came upon a mighty man, who appeared to be adjusting his trousers. He yanked his belt and thrust one whip towards me. I had encountered Beast himself. He was tall, imposing, burly and endowed with a thunderous voice that could re...
