Kiraitu abandons Speaker Muturi and endorses Raila


This is what Kiraitu had to say
"I joined the Meru Professionals and Business Community in a meeting with former Prime Minister, Rt Hon Raila Odinga 'Jakom' in a meeting where we deliberated on the interests of the Meru community. As you all know, my mission is to Make Meru Great and ensure that our people are rich and prosperous.

I have become skeptical of political friendships because you see people who haven’t quarreled becoming enemies and enemies of yesterday becoming friends. So I do not want to base politics on personal friendships. We will be bound by interests of our people. We are forming a party that will focus on the interests of the people of Meru and the region so that we can also be in the national political arena.

When our youths are empowered to be employable, when we have good roads, adequate clean water, improved agriculture and much more, these will definitely uplift the livelihoods of our people. This can only be achieved through increased resources in our Counties.

Meru produces miraa and we need modern ways of marketing our precious commodity. We therefore will hold a miraa scientific and commercialization conference next year to see how well we are going to market our miraa as juice and wine through value addition alongside the current markets we have.

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.

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...
