QUESTIONS FOR PRESIDENT KENYATTA ON MPEKETONI ATTACKS…

1. If President Uhuru Kenyatta has evidence linking any local politician to the Mpeketoni attacks that has left over 50 people dead, as he has insinuated in his statement, then who are they and why have they not been arrest and prosecute yet? 2. If intelligence on the attack was gotten in advance and ignored by the police on the ground, who lack capacity by the way, why are Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph ole Lenku and Inspector general of Police David Kimaiyo still in office yet they offered no back up on the ground at avert the senseless killings, Mr President? 3. Has the president chosen to ignore that Al Shabaab claimed responsibility for the Sunday & Monday night attacks in Lamu and does that mean Shabaab duped everyone by claiming responsibility or was the claimbonoko? 4. Now that the president has given us what he believes is the truth about the attacks, what urgent decisive measures has he taken to avert similar attacks in future, given same faces still rule the security apparatus and none was shown the door? 5. Has Kenyatta, in his statement as the Head of State, made attempts to unite the country or only succeeded to add fuel to the burning fire of ethnic and political division across the country? 6. Hoping for answers. Crossing my fingers.

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.
