Kenyans in Diaspora tell UHURU/ RUTO and Kenyans to celebrate because RAILA ODINGA’s US visit is yielding fruits

Kenyans living in the US and Canada have faulted the Government of President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto, for questioning the visit by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who was invited to attend a forum at Boston University, Massachusetts, to speak alongside former Presidents about Kenya and Africa. Speaking yesterday, Kenyans in Diaspora, led by Gordon Teti, asked President Uhuru Kenyatta, his Deputy William Ruto and Kenyans back home to celebrate and embrace Raila’s visit to the US, because his visit is doing Kenya more good than bad. He said Raila is promoting Kenya’s image abroad pretty well and his one month long stay in the US will yield so much for Kenya. Teti urged Kenyans to emulate Tanzanians who are celebrating and praising Mr. Fredrick Sumaye, the Tanzanian Prime Minister, who was invited together with Raila Odinga to the US, for doing their country proud and selling Tanzania’s image abroad. “While some ignorant individuals in Kenya were questioning why Raila Odinga is promoting the image of Kenya in the US, Tanzanians are praising and applauding Mr. Samaye for doing exactly that for their country”, noted Teti.

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...

Mulolongo is not just a place.

Mulolongo is not just a place. It's a whole syllabus. And deep within its curriculum is a tiny street called Zambarau where meat is sold both day and night. By day, Zambarau is a heaven of nyama. Smoke rises like prayers as meat sizzles on grills. You can find it in stew, dry fry, grilled or even boiled for the toothless. But when darkness announces its arrival, the meat form changes. It’s still meat, yes, but this one is served somewhat raw. Colourful, tender and priced depending on texture, origin, and freshness. The most popular evening meat here is called pig Porko. Everyone in Zambarau street and its tributaries knows pig meat, Porko. It is well supplied, comes in different packages and is available all night till morning. On a certain Friday evening, Katomo walked into Mulolongo feeling like a tycoon. After working for three solid weeks smoothing walls in Kalangaita, the foreman finally remembered him. He was paid a full Ksh 790. Not a coin less. That evening, Kat...
