Today, a group of people from GEMA communities are gathering in Limuru for what has been dubbed Limuru 2B, a counter to the Limuru 2 GEMA meeting that took place on 23rd March, 2012 Whilst the organizers are going on a limb to show that what they will be discussing are fresh ideas on how to drive the community and the nation forward, I remain highly skeptical. I wonder why they were not gripped by these noble thoughts before Limuru 2 m...

My sabbatical has taught me three vital lessons. Firstly, social media and the Kenyan Diaspora w...

Observing the measly performance of the prosecution at the confirmation of charges hearings in the case of William Ruto, Henry Kosgey and Joshua Arap Sang, I was left wondering whether we should not have globally legislated standards of idiocy. With the likes of Moreno O’Campo in the prowl, we need to have the benchmarks of idiocy so that the world is saved the valuable time we need to solve the problems of hunger, poverty, disasters, hu...
