New architecture of ODM party

no-title7.jpg

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is the father of Devolution in Kenya. Accordingly, we must support it in word and deed, in spirit and action. To ensure this is effective and felt by our members, supporters and the general public, the ODM has completed the process of restructuring so that our party’s architecture conforms to and reinforces the principle of subsidiarity upon which devolution is founded. Consequently, we shall have the National Party whose highest decision-makingorgan is the National Delegates Convention (NDC). The second tier will be the County Party whose highest decision making organ shall be the County Delegates Conference. To entrench the principle of subsidiarity, the ODM’s basic unit shall be the Polling Station where members shall elect the Polling Station Steering Committee (PSSC). Above the Polling Station, there shall be the Sub-Branch at the Ward Level which will be managed and coordinated by the Sub-Branch Executive Committee (SBEC). The ODM Branch, managed by the Branch Executive Committee (BEC) shall be at the Sub-County/Constituency level. All branches shall link directly with the National Executive Council (NEC) through the National Secretariat At the County level, the branches shall hold an annual County Delegates Conference which shall among other agenda, elect a County Coordinating Committee (CEC). Further to address historical inequalities, inherent in the current NDC composition, the party has restructured the composition of the National Delegates Convention to reflect the party strength across the country. Finally, in order to respond to emerging situations in a timely manner, a Central Committee of the NEC has been established. This shall comprise the following members of the party; the Party Leader, the two Deputy Party Leaders, the National Chairman, the Secretary General, the National Treasurer, the National Organizing Secretary, the Secretary for Women Affairs, the Secretary for Youth Affairs, and the Secretary for Parliamentary Affairs To affect these changes, the National Elections Board shall soon convene to announce a comprehensive programme for grassroots elections. The party has also concluded the revision of its Elections and Nominations Rules to accord to the new party architecture and to make our elections and nominations more democratic, transparent, predictable, fair and credible. Thank you and God Bless Kenya. Oduor Ong’wen Executive Director – ODM National Secretariat 10th June 2015

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. 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...

Mr. Riley was already there when they arrived, sitting on the sand, eyes closed in a deep meditation. He was shirtless, wearing camouflage-patterned shorts similar to the ones The Spellbinder styled the day he appeared on the beach and a pair of rubber diving booties with smiley face emojis scattered over them. You would have been more than amused if you saw him in them. An assistant rushed out of the billionaire’s home the instant he raised a hand toward the heavens, displaying the universal victory sign. Three crisp pages of paper were effic...

THE CROWN YOU CARRY: A Letter to My LOVELY Daughter FROM THE HEART OF A MOTHER

My Dearest Daughter, As the sun rises over the hills of Limuru, casting golden rays upon the dew-kissed tea leaves, my heart swells with pride, hope, and the wisdom only a mother can carry. You, my beautiful girl, are in school, and while the world sees a student in uniform, I see a queen in the making. I see the grace of your grandmother, the fire of your ancestors, and the promise of a bright African dawn glowing in your eyes. This Easter, God granted me the sweet joy of bonding with you—not just as a mother—but as a woman who has walked a little further on this winding road of life. You may not know it yet, but in those laughter-filled mornings and quiet evening chats, a legacy was passed on: not of gold or silver, but of values, vision, and virtue. Let me speak to your soul now, daughter of mine. Listen with your spirit. In this life, my sweet child, “a child who does not listen to the mother’s advice will sleep with the flies” — a Ghanaian proverb as old as wisdom itself. The worl...
