The most probable presidential race line-up come 2017 in kenya

Kenya's last two general elections can be described as a two horse race,whether 2017 general elections will be different only time will tell.Currently the people who are expected to contest for presidency in 2017 are the sitting president Uhuru Kenyatta and former prime minister Raila Odinga which will mean a repeat of 2013 where the later lost amid claims of rigging.There is high possibility of realignment before 2017 though, since in politics there is no permanent enemies.Deputy president William Ruto may change the whole scenario incase he decides to gauge his popularity in 2017,If this happens then a third force will have joined the contest and the whole game will obviously change,president Uhuru will be forced to look elsewhere for a formidable running mate.Cord will loose some of their perceived strongholds depending on who Ruto will choose as his running mate,According to my opinion if Ruto happens to vie the most probable person he will choose has his running mate will be Budalangi mp Ababu Namwamba, reason being his age and coming from the populous luhya community.If the cord coalition remains intact then the likes of senate minority leader and cord principal Moses wetangula will have a more homework to do and counter Ruto/Ababu pair in their votes hunt from western Kenya.President Uhuru on the other hand will look for an alternative running mate and in this case the most probable person will be machakos governor Alfred mutua mainly because of his track record on development and also help counter cord coalition in ukambani,Uhuru will also be forced to sponsor a person from luhya community to vie for presidency just to divide luhya votes.If this happens then runoff in 2017 will be a must and the winner will be determined by which side the 3rd runners up will support.You can take that to the bank as we wait for time to tell.

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...
