In seasons greetings ladies and gentlemen......... In the recent past I have taken time analysing Kenyan politics across the political divide comparing the current leadership with the past regimes and giant democracies, to be able to understand the relationship between politics and development. In my analysis I have taken into consideration rhetorics from politicians regarding development. What's the relationship between politics and development? The Jubilee administration is fond of making this political rhetoric "sisi ni maendeleo tunataka sio siasa". The statement is a complete paradox since the statement is made by a politician in a political rally doing politics. So what makes the statement distinct from ordinary political innuendos? Today kenya has become a fundraising nation for the past 10 years of Kibaki regime our nation had forgotten the monster fundraiser which was a Nyayo political philosophy which crippled our economy and rendered us poppers. Our currency was weak and useless. The NARC government came with a powerful economic and, political wave that changed our nation's fortune. Our currency attained powerful status, the fortunes of our economy resurrected. We never heard of Harambees where government officials contributed "Millions" of shillings. Today believe it or not Kenya has gone back to the old Nyayo times! Its Harambees everywhere, the president and his deputy contribute Millions of shillings, we gonna have alot of money in circulation that will ultimately cripple the power of our currency. All this happening with a clear conscious but blinded by politics. Mwai kibaki and Raila Odinga steered Kenyan road network that gave our nation accessibility, a new and admirable shape. They designed and orchestrated The standard gauge Railway, Expansion of Mombasa port and many more outside their busy political calendar, they matched politics with development the records are clear for everyone. But the Jubilee administration has nurtured the art of crippling the economy in the name of safeguarding and advancing their political territory. Will Kenyans realise the economical suicide facing our nation in days a head? Only the wise can see the political suicide against our economy.
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...
