Thought for the Weekend

  A dance is putting one's limbs to the task of communication. Quite often we sway to show of  our pleasures and joy. The spirit of happiness is most abundant in  humans. Dance moves get easily mirrored  by others. Hence the effectiveness of it in meshing up a group in to a team.  Legs apart... Hands together.. pap pap rarararar This weekend go out and make humanity sway. You got the say President Obama dancing in his native Kogelo village recently /WatsupAfrica

One round in one Minute. Love never kills. Arrests at Kenya Power are not one sided

Athletes splash water at a race Chepkoech sets new steeple record... Oh girl The length of a standard running truck is 400m. A three thousand race means that seven and a half rounds have to be made. So Beatrice did about one minute on every round of 400m. and obstacles in there and splashing of waters. It is a most dazzling record of our times. She represents beauty in a completely different way. Ability and skill and endurance all in one release. No further comment. Ruth Kamande... I find that lots of human souls are yet to discern what love.  Love never changes even after whatever betrayal. Drinking dead waters never dampens the light spirit of love Love laughs through tears . It is only love that mingles coffee with tears sometimes Love never kills Jealousy kills. The sentencing of Ruth to death for killing her boyfriend by stabbing has ignited debate on this kind punishment once again. It is not important to question why she has generated a hu

Thought for the weekend

This is the first weekend after World Cup Once more, it's time to remind ourselves that in  everything we do or engage in, there will be jubilation and disappointment. This is the duality of life. Recognizing this fact will always give you the energy to conquer   every challenge in life.  Lose today. Win tomorrow.

Understanding learners is key to solving chaos in schools. Let's wait for WCup report from Bunge. Eritreans need freedom to enjoy the Ethiopian friendship.

Turmoil in schools… Once again, like last year, students have bunt down some facilities in their schools. This has become such a wound in learning institutions across Kenya. The second term of learning which commences around May has been one with most cases of this nature. A lot of investigations on the past cases have not yielded much in terms of solutions. There is need to inject really new thinking in handling rising cases of schools unrest. The thinking that fear of exams is the lead cause leaves a lot to be desired in terms the touch and understanding of modern learning challenges. Of course examination fever is a reality, but it is just a fever. Does anybody really commit suicide because of a fever? The deeper situation in schools cannot be solved without input of the learners who are themselves the most affected by the turmoil.  The idea of holding students criminally responsible for their actions as stated by the Ministry of Education and haunting the

Thought For the Weekend

The mid of July is somewhat the true mid of the year. The weather features interesting fluctuations Dewy cold in the morning.  Luke warm afternoons. Clouds pressing down on us in the evening If you have something nice that you want to remember for a life time, this is the time to curate it. A desert Rose, associated with African July An impala Lily, a symbol of vibrancy and endurance

Thought for the weekend

With songs in full blast in honour of  World Cup action, this weekend is sweaty and feverish already. Lovers of popcorn turn to real food now. The disappointment can be  horrific. You can pad your stomachs with a bit of jeera. You do not want too much wind in the inside when your at the edge of your seat

The Killing of sugar sector started at the Coast. The Challenge of Mopping up Excess Sugar. Lessons from Black Studded Les Bleus

Farmers working in a sugar cane field / Citizen digital Sugar deals… The fact that sugar is consumed by millions of Kenyans makes it a premier  product. Money makes deals sweet let alone the sugar itself being a sweetener. Sugar sector is highly lucrative hence the deal making involved. Big money attracts big boys and big boys are not necessarily the best for a sector that has among its rank peasant farmers. The killing of agricultural industries has followed a clear pattern, one which is full of corruption and undermining honest Kenyans who want to make use of their labour and land to sustain livelihoods. Political undermining of the sugar sector started in the KANU era. The first culprit was the Ramisi sugar company situated in Kwale, in the Coastal sugar belt. It is really unfathomable how a company producing a commodity that is used by millions of citizens can go into losses and eventually collapse.The fact that Kenya has a sugar deficit it means tha
