FORGIVENESS THE KEY MESSAGE OF EASTER

This Easter weekend, people will be planning their holiday break and thinking about a rest from their busy lifestyle. However, regardless of your Faith and how you observe or do not observe Easter, the fact is that it is a crucial, if not the most crucial element of Christianity. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the very foundation of the Christian Faith and underpins much of its teachings. So what messages are there for the wider community those who do not believe in Christianity or those who believe but don't go to church? What lessons can the secular society take away from the principles espoused by teachings of the Easter period? One of the main messages of the Christian Faith arises from the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ is forgiveness. The Bible records Jesus saying "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing". This is regarded as the ultimate act of forgiveness. So the message that we may take away from Easter in the secular society is one of being prepared to forgive people who have done us wrong. Generally, we do not see a lot of forgiveness in today's society. More and more we want to take action against people who aggrieve us whether in the workplace, at home, on the road, at schools or the modern meeting places shopping centres. Forgiving can be very hard in many cases. We tend to hold a grudge rather than forgive and get on with life. Give it some thought this weekend while you are relaxing or having fun. CAN YOU FORGIVE?

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...
