OPEN LETTER TOTRANSPORT AND SAFETY AUTHORITY

To the Transport and Safety Authority. If it is not innuendo. If it is not witch hunting. If the plight of the safety of the Kenyan commuter is what your heart values, you should know by now that Kenyans have died on the road carnage through human error and greed and enough has been enough.The withdrawal of the 100 buses from our public roads belonging to Ummoinner Sacco should not be compromised.Their presentation of 48 buses for inspection, instead of their full fleet of 100 buses is an insult to the Kenyan public and is treacherous.Their full fleet must undergo inspection to certify their road worthiness and all their drivers tested and verified too. Their touts must provide all their documentation without favor before banning the full fleet for a number of years as per the traffic laid down regulations and the directors taken to court and fined heavily.Police should not take bribes to release these vehicles through back door as a lesson to all other saccos and companies that disregard traffic laws.In the same spirit, Nyamira Express should follow suit by availing all their fleet for inspection, all their drivers and conductors for verification and the directors of the company taken to court and fined heavily before banning the buses from our public roads for a number of years.For how long are KENYANS going to die on our roads as the traffic police master in taking bribes as they enrich themselves?

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.

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...

Political Tumbocrats

*Political Tumbocrats* A political tumbocrat is a person who hangs around elected leaders to satisfy her/his personal greed. Tumbocrats sees a leader as a demigod whom they worship. The r bootlickers and sycophants of the highest order. Their work is to defend leaders and cheat public that something is happening. A tumbocrat has no values or morals. A tumbocrat is not interested with common good but personal good. A tumbocrat has no vision but appetite for being near high table of power  and feeding on crumbs.   Tumbocrats are greatest obstacles to development in our country. They protect the corrupt and shield the bad governance in so far as they get something to fill their tumbos. They are good and articulate in arguments but they lack the moral authority because they don't value truth. Every political leader is surrounded by tumbocrats. They are the noise makers in social media and around leaders defending them. They peddle lies en create propagandas . They confuse the publ...
