Kenya Bitter Truth

*Cicero of the Roman empire wrote this about the situation during lifetime:* 1. The poor - work & work. 2. The rich - exploit the poor. 3. The soldier - protects both. 4. The taxpayer - pays for all three. 5. The wanderer - rests for all four. 6. The drunk - drinks for all five. 7. The banker - robs all six. 8. The lawyer - misleads all seven. 9. The doctor - bills all eight. 10. The undertaker - buries all nine. 11. The Politician - lives happily on account of all ten. *Written in 43 B.C., but valid even today.*

The Jubilee manifesto is refreshingly short of populist slogans. Economists get frustrated at politicians who tend to focus on short-term sound bites, as opposed to real strategic policy. The Jubilee government is rightly proud to have created approximately 800,000 jobs per year. Recruiting thousands of teachers, setting up technical vocational training, and installing digital learning programmes has already demonstrated a commitment to developing a skilled work force. The promise of free secondary education, loans for university students, and aligning the needs of industry with curricula and polytechnics will strengthen this further. The Jubilee government has been far from perfect, but in terms of jobs, they have come up with the goods. There are some unique examples, such as the Kenya Leather Park in Machakos for over 7,000 Small and Medium Enterprises – A truly amazing place. Similar initiatives such as the Leather Cluster Common Manufacturing Facility in Kariokor and the Athi Rive...

..My 34 Point Thesis why I, Kobia Mburugu, will vote Raila Amollo Odinga as Kenya’s next president: (Caution: It is a long one. Take your time) 1. I want credible voting. Not stolen votes. Stolen votes mean the will of the people is vanquished. It has been like this in 2007 and 2013. I am dead sure it is only Raila who can bring meaning to my and your VOTE and give the Kenyan the power once again to change his political destiny if the government of the day fails its people. A government cannot be overly corrupt and empty state coffers so as to subjugate the voting system, thereby corrupting an electoral process against the will of the people. Kenya must be democratic. Elections must not be stolen. Put a stop to stolen elections and grand thieving of public money will subside considerably. I trust Raila to deliver us from flawed electoral process and thieving of state power. 2. 2017 elections is a two-horse race – a contest between ‘’old ways’’ and ‘’change’’. Given its likely either ...

There are a thousand other people that will want your job the minute you lose it, and the irony is people get to make thousands of mistakes on the job, and the worst part is many employees don’t even care. Employers know that mistakes are inevitable in the workplace but they want the mistake factor to be minimised as much as possible and there are mistakes that wouldn’t even be condoned in a workplace. These are some top mistakes that could get you fired: 1. DISOBEYING OFFICE RULES Every organisation has rules and regulations, as well as ethics you should abide by. Unfortunately, many employees take this lightly after a long stay in that organisation. In an organisation where they take office rules and regulations serious, you could find yourself on the receiving end someday. 2. HAVING A FIGHT/QUARREL No boss wants to walk into the workplace and see his staff having a fight or quarrel. Who’s at fault doesn’t matter; such an act is unethical and barbaric to say the least, and it doesn’t...

Get paid to take surveys! http://aidrevenue.com/?ref=487386 Court of Appeal has ruled that presidential  results at the constituency will be final, which means Chebukati has no powers to alter the results. The ruling says in summary: “The appellant (IEBC) is a body corporate. The Chair (as an individual) can NOT purport to ‘verify or confirm’ a result sent via electronic means by the 290 Constituency Returning Officers. He can ONLY accurately and correctly collate (combine), announce the total and if an aspirant has reached the threshold set in Article 138, declare the winner. The results from the constituency can NOT be modified or manipulated after the Returning Officer has ELECTRONICALLY transmitted it. It is hypocritical for the IEBC (Chair) to question the integrity of data from its own employees… Any disputes arising therein can ONLY be adjudicated by an Electoral Court after an Electoral Petition” Get paid to take surveys! http://aidrevenue.com/?ref=487386 The ruling c...

https://t.co/OQNyVbBR5K Finding sleep can be a difficult task sometimes, due to stress from the day’s activity, depression, or just worry. However medical experts say it’s important to get enough sleep every day (at least, 7 hours), in order to stay in good physical and mental shape. So stress or not, it’s expedient to find a way around sleeplessness by all means possible. If you have a challenge with sleeping easily at night, I have a few tips that can help change that. TRY THE ‘SLEEP PARADOX’ The sleep Paradox is a technique  designed by psychologists, meant to help people overcome sleeplessness. The technique involves one simply pretending to want to be awake all night, when in reality, they want to sleep. The sleep Paradox technique works because it is everything the mind doesn’t like. The brain never accepts negatives well, so it perceives this measure as an instruction not to sleep, and then, sooner or later, your eye muscles will become fatigued, and sleep will set in. To ac...
