SENATOR PROF.ANYANG NYONGO HECKLED AT KISUMU

saba-saba.jpg People, we must tell Prof Nyong’o that the County Development Boards they created in senate is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. We are bashing Ababu Namwamba over ‘party affairs’ but seem to have forgotten that people like Nyong’o are also political opportunists to whom the letter and spirit of the constitution ends when their interests sets in. We must reject County Development Boards as much as we reject county commissioners. The constitution is not just threatened when it is Jubilee/Mumbilee doing it, actions by CORD elected leaders can also threaten it. One of the 10 points that the Isaac Rutto led referendum push has proposed is to give senators real powers so that they stop hovering around governors like pit latrine flies. Senators should strengthen national institutions and make laws which give life to devolution, not power and relevance to themselves. Senators who feel they are doing too little should wait till 2017 and vie either as governors or as MPs. One would have expected people like Nyong’o would be the first to oppose the creation of a board that duplicates the work of the governor and county assemblies. We can’t set systems only to fail them due to political hypocrisy and chicanery. Nyanza rejects County Development Boards. I wait to see how Hon. Kajwang’ will chair his in Homa Bay, or Dr. Machage in Migori. Hongera watu wa Kisumu. The constitution, in the final analysis, remain a property of the people, not senators, not parties, and not the national #mumbilee government.

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. I had never been to a boarding school, and certainly this is the furthest from home I had ever gone. 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...
