COLD BLOOD KILLING OF BUSINESSMAN JACOB JUMA

img-20160506-wa0024.jpg Kenya today woke to the sad news of the killing in cold blood of outspoken government critic business man Jacob Juma. The question which lingers in many Kenyans mind is whether this was a normal criminal act or was it a planned assassination?Whatever the case,it is the duty of the government to assure security to each and every Kenyan. Human life is very precious,no amount of material things can substitute it.It's unfortunate Kenya continues its great sons in cold blood killings at this age and time.If a government can't afford to assure security to all its citizens then there is no need of having one,which means it will be the duty of individual citizen to ensure he/she is safe.Our security apparatus should with immediate effect rise to the occasion and ensure we are all safe, otherwise no sooner than later before Kenyans gets fed up and do away with this government thing.Today was Jacob Juma we can't afford loosing another great son tomorrow.No matter what human life so precious to be lost.May justice be our shield and defender.

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...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region.
