Uhuru to make a two-day visit to Nyanza

Uhuru to make a two-day visit to Nyanza 

The announcement of the visit by the president to the Nyanza province early March, is a welcomed move. The region that overwhelmingly voted for the Cord Coalition presidential candidate, Rt. Hon Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka, must rise above all sorts of political inequality and inferiority and embrace the leadership of his Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The president will be visiting the region of course for a second time since assuming office, to monitor the development projects that are on course as well as meet the leaders of the region to discuss their agenda for the region.

Again, it wont be suprising to hear peoples analogy that the president is visiting the region to woo the people of Nyanza province. Politics could as well play its role during the visit just as during the funeral of the late KNUT secretary, Okuta Osiany, in which the president had also come to pay his last respects.

The president is expected to visit Kisumu county, Migori county, Homa Bay and Kisii counties during his two day visits to inspect all the development projects.

NAIROBI: A STRONG CHRISTIAN COUNTY.

NAIROBI: A STRONG CHRISTIAN COUNTY.

The act of publicly proselytizing religious messages to crowds of people in open places especially along the streets and in buses, has been a thriving activity in the suburbs of Nairobi city and estates.

Nairobi being an international city with many high rise buildings and beautiful views has several sites for street preaching that is mostly done during lunch hour and evening hours. The preaching are usually done between 1.00-2.00 p.m and 4.30 – 7.00 p.m when people are out of the offices. The key sites are at the National Archives, Githurai bound buses and the Jevanjee gardens  just to mention  but a few.Travellers are compelled to hear the preaching and to give as they are told its better to give than to receive.

At lunch hour, you can see street preaching everywhere and indeed Nairobi is a strong Christian city.The preachers preach a message of prosperity, end times and giving and people always sit to listen to them preach.

 

While seated at the Jevanjee gardens to have some time during lunch break after a hectic time at work, I feel entertained by some of them as well as blessed by them.The preacher this afternoon,  gives different and touchy testimonies  that lead his or her listeners to give.

Surprisingly, they carry their bibles with them in their bags and when they come across a multitude, they begin to preach. Truly, at the end of the day, I justify my statement that Nairobi is indeed a strong Christian city.

Was the Machakos county donor projects a hoax?

Were the Machakos County projects a Hoax?

The question as to wether the much talked about Machakos county development project were a hoax, remains an ensnaring mystery between a show-off politics and development.

Machakos county Governor, H.E Alfred Mutua, has launched several multibillion projects that are expected to be underway currently. Meanwhile, the county’s senator, Hon Johnston Muthama fell aside with the Governor over the Development projects that he thought were a hoax.

Probably, todate, the projects that were launched by the Governor in the company of the President have surprisingly not kicked off to date and we are left wondering if the projects were virtually real viable projects or just a hoax.

In most cases, donors have always promised to engage in development projects with their development patners but later end up withdrawing. Having made several trips to the western states in the company of the Former Premier, Rt. Hon Raila Odinga, the Machakos Governor, has earned himself some donor funding that he hopes to propel his county but the question is; Was the  multi-billion donor projects a hoax?

IEBC refutes CORDs' principals' claims

 IEBC refutes Raila's millitary claims

 

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has asked CORD leader Raila Odinga to substantiate his claims that the military aided the Jubilee coalition in rigging the last years presidential elections.

The Commision through its chairman asked the Former Premier to withdraw his remarks and apologise to Kenyans, the military as well as to the commission and the Jubilee administration. The chairperson, Isaack Hassan, described Railas’ claims as inflammatory and unsubstantiated. IEBC said the allegations “could ferment hate and distrust among voters”.

The Former Premier while at his home turf in Kisumu over the weekend, alleged that the military had aided in rigging the elections and that the CORD supporters had been ejected from the tallying centre moments before the results wee released and that security had been beeped up to keep away any CORD legislator and supporter from the Bomas of Kenya so as to manipulate the votes.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has asked CORD leader Raila Odinga to substantiate his claims that the Jubilee leadership used the military to rig last year’s presidential election or withdraw the statement and apologise. In a strongly-worded statement, the Isaac Hassan-led team dismissed Raila’s claims as inflammatory and unsubstantiated. IEBC said the allegations “could ferment hate and distrust among voters”. “Issuing falsehood must be deterred by all means within the law. Therefore, we challenge Raila Odinga to substantiate his claim or withdraw and apologise,” the Commission said in a statement sent to newsrooms. Speaking in his Kisumu home turf over the weekend, the former Prime Minister alleged that President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto used the military to eject CORD supporters from the Bomas of Kenya, which was the national tallying centre, to manipulate the vote.
