Nairobi Governor Not to be blamed on floods

nairobi-city-county-worke.jpg

Evans Kidero yes is the governor of Nairobi but honestly shifting the blame of floods to him is myopic & utter nonsense. To start with County governments are two years old. They have overseen little infrastructure projects in the country. Secondly, the main problem here is clogged drainage system. A problem from our own culture of dumping anywhere. Some rubbish is 20 years old. Moi error litter. Thirdly I don't think we are mistaking kidero for a God or his son Jesus. Flooding is a natural calamity or whom will we blame when droughts come? Most importantly - corruption & greed over the years have drained taxpayers money. Not kidero. Lets start by saving this water or come drought you will blame kidero for mot urinating in your rivers. Over & out!

Evans KideroGood morning Nairobi, first and foremost my sincere condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones as a result of the current heavy rains. On behalf of the County Government I would like to express my sympathy to those who have lost properties, commuters in Nairobi who have spent hours in traffic, school children who have been stranded as a result of the heavy down pour experienced in the last two days. It is worthy to note that In two days we had 10% of the annual rainfall150mm of the 1870mm in 365 days. This is worse than El Nino rains experienced in Nairobi in 1997. I would like to assure Nairobians that the county government in collaboration with KURA and KENHA are doing their best to unclog all blocked drainage systems in the City to ensure smooth and efficient flow of water. We are also liaising with the Meteorological department closely to share with us the actual rainfall forecast for the coming days inorder for us to advise Nairobians accordingly as well as the traffic police commandant to ensure flow of traffic is manageable during this period. Again my sincere apologies to all Nairobians who have lost their loved ones, lost properties, spent long hours in traffic as a result of the rains. We continue to work towards the Nairobi we all want.

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...
