EMBU COUNTY SPEAKER KARIUKI Has been found drunk

embu22052014.jpg Missing Embu County Assembly Speaker Kariuki Mate was on Friday morning dumped alive in Lumuru. He was later rushed to the Aga Khan Hospital, Nairobi where he is receiving treatment. Police say he was later brought to the Gigiri police station unconscious at midnight and no more arrest has been made. Nairobi police boss Benson Kibue says the speaker was initially found in Limuru near St Paul's University while unconscious and taken to the police station by a canter that was transporting sweet potatoes to Nairobi. "The occupants of the canter say he flagged them down while looking drunk but smart and told them he was the missing speaker before they helped him to Gigiri police station. He is ok now," said Kibue. Mate went missing on Monday from Utalii hotel, Nairobi after he was picked up by a car that sped off. A police officer has since been charged with his abduction. Police say they will interrogate him later

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...
