#VURUTENI FOR K.D.F HUGS

By Serah Kahiu
I don't know whether it is the current circumstances or I'm just becoming more nicer or just human etc... but everytime I meet a KDF or Traffic Police, GSU, AP or any of the Disciplined personnel, I have this OVERWHELMING NEED to hug them. A real need, the kind you feel towards a close family member. The one that lasts a breath longer. And as i do it I whisper "Thank you for protecting us, We sleep easier because of you" (((Hugs))). Obviously this has raised suspicion and eyebrows and "ehe raiya, ati napea mimi hug arafu? What do you really want?" I just smile and repeat "Thank you for protecting us. We love you!" Juzi I almost hugged a traffic police. Stopped myself last minute, when I imagined him thinking am another nyairobi thug...Woishe alikuwa amenyeshewa yet he was still directing vehicles in the Nairobi CBD mayhem.
I'm choosing for a moment, to ignore the whys and how's and when ...they will leave Somalia. Instead I want to look at them as basic human beings, with a fundamental need to be appreciated by a beneficiary of their noble services. Hiyo tu.
So today I challenge y'all to show some love to a our disciplined forces. Hizo maHug ziflow tafathari... Love begets love. We love them, they find more meaning in their (dangerous) work, they protect us better.

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...
