Mudavadi Tells off Raila in effort to prove he is His Own Man

mmth20.jpg Mudavadi has finally grown a tail and spoken up for himself. He finally showed his true colours when he told off former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. In a hard-hitting unflinching statement, this is what Mudavadi said to Raila: “There is a polite though unwritten rule of civility in Kenyan politics that national leaders shall not engage in personalized and disparaging attacks on fellow leaders. This rule on decent politics has been observed religiously by most but inevitably and brazenly broken by Raila Odinga with character assassination and vitriol on other leaders. He has alleged that I and my colleagues in Amani Coalition are using the Bungoma by-election to gain favours from government. Raila is on record lobbying for an appointment as a mediator. Deceit and doublespeak is not attractive to me; Raila welcomes President Uhuru Kenyatta in Nyanza with open arms, but tells the people of Bungoma not to work with government. Is there a Kenyatta government for Raila and a Raila colony for the Bungoma people? Raila must know by now that the imperial disguise he wears in dividing communities in western Kenya has come to an end. A New dawn and consciousness has emerged out of the March 4 elections. He must check his condescending attitude. Raila should be the last person to condemn cooperation with any government in power. I remind Raila that he is conspicuous in embracing political cooperation deals with successive regimes and therefore has no moral ground to scold others. Whichever revisionist name maybe fashionable to Raila, NDP/Kanu, LDP/NAK, ODM/PNU under the National Accord and Cord are all forms of cooperation. Raila alleges Amani Coalition is confused. Amani has presented a united front in the Bungoma by-election unlike the discord in CORD Nobody appointed Raila to prefect and to police other political parties on how to conduct their business. I would take Raila’s pantomimes seriously were he to reflect and address the subtle but loud messages his strongholds are sending to him about pragmatic approaches to development versus illusions of greatness and political rhetoric. One cannot masquerade for ever. The image of infallibility he projects is meant to hide a tumultuous implosion in his party.”End of Statement

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...

THE CROWN YOU CARRY: A Letter to My LOVELY Daughter FROM THE HEART OF A MOTHER

My Dearest Daughter, As the sun rises over the hills of Limuru, casting golden rays upon the dew-kissed tea leaves, my heart swells with pride, hope, and the wisdom only a mother can carry. You, my beautiful girl, are in school, and while the world sees a student in uniform, I see a queen in the making. I see the grace of your grandmother, the fire of your ancestors, and the promise of a bright African dawn glowing in your eyes. This Easter, God granted me the sweet joy of bonding with you—not just as a mother—but as a woman who has walked a little further on this winding road of life. You may not know it yet, but in those laughter-filled mornings and quiet evening chats, a legacy was passed on: not of gold or silver, but of values, vision, and virtue. Let me speak to your soul now, daughter of mine. Listen with your spirit. In this life, my sweet child, “a child who does not listen to the mother’s advice will sleep with the flies” — a Ghanaian proverb as old as wisdom itself. The worl...
