MIGUNA MIGUNA to vie for Nyando Parliamentary seat on UHURU KENYATTA’s TNA ticket

Former Prime Minister, Raila Odinga’s constitutional adviser, Miguna Miguna, is now contemplating vying for the Nyando Parliamentary seat after the court nullified the election of area MP, Fred Outa, on Friday. According to Miguna’s close allies, the brilliant author who has penned several political conspiracy books will vie for the seat on The National Alliance (TNA) ticket. TNA is President Uhuru Kenyatta’s party and Miguna will be given a direct TNA ticket to challenge immediate former MP, Fred Outa, who will vie on an ODM ticket. With the entry of Miguna, the Nyando parliamentary by- election will rekindle the political rivalry between former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta who were the main protagonists in last year’s poll where Kenyatta won the Presidency with trickery of the highest order. Miguna Miguna is the author ofPeeling Back the Mask: a Quest for Justice in KenyaandKidneysof the King: Deforming the Status Quo.

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...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...

DESMOND TUTU Slams At AFRICA Leaders Seeking ICC Withdrawal As KILLERS Looking For LICENCE To MURDER

CAPE TOWN — MEMBERS of the African Union will meet in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, today to discuss recent calls by some African leaders to withdraw from the International Criminal Court.These calls must be resisted. The continent has suffered the consequences of unaccountable governance for too long to disown the protections offered by the I.C.C.Those leaders seeking to skirt the court are effectively looking for a license to kill, maim and oppress their own people without consequence.They believe the interests of the people should not stand in the way of their ambitions of wealth and power; that being held to account by the I.C.C. interferes with their ability to achieve these ambitions; and that those who get in their way — the victims: their own people — should remain faceless and voiceless.They believe the interests of the people should not stand in the way of their ambitions of wealth and power; that being held to account by the I.C.C. interferes with their ability to achieve these amb...
