By Dr Paul Bundi Human beings are endowed with remarkable resilience, which can only be broken when they choose to give up. Says Viktor Frankl in his seminal book, Man's Search for Meaning; ''it is a peculiarity of man that he can only live by looking to the future-sub specie aeternitatis. And this is his salvation in thd most difficult moments of his existence, although he sometimes has to force his mind to the task.''

By FRED OBACHI MACHOKAA, I think the good old Hon. Prof. Kisiangani on @CitizenTVNews is slowly but surely becoming a political phycophant, someone please tell him! As a Kenyan I abhor what happened to our President in Migori and every Kenyan of goodwill should condemn the act. I was happy to see the Secretary General of ODM issue an official statement to condemn the act. I am also glad that the suspected culprits are being arraigned in court.

Let's not commit other mistakes in form of correcting an earlier mistake PLEASE. Kenya is still hurting. Let's be mindful of what we say, especially on National Television.
