Happy 48th Jamhuri Day Kenyans

Today Kenya turns 49. A journey that begun in 1963 after the end of the British rule in Kenya. It's been a remarkable journey with experiences and if we look back at how we've made it here we can plot our way forward. A lot has changed economically, socially and technologically and in all these our country has been improving.  The road has been tough and what we have done over the years defines what we are and have today. It is this growth over the years that gives us hope of a future. Hope that we can achieve our goals and realize our dreams in the years to come. Vision2030 Is hence achievable because of this. What we can do now is what's important and will matter for our future and generations to come.

As we Relax on This Jamhuri day what we should  all be aware that the leadership we have for our country is a big determinant of how we are going to achieve our goals.

At the moment there's concern by the IEBC and everyone else who's conscious about our country and it’s future (including me) of the poor turnout of people at their registration centers. IEBC reports 8.3 million registered voters over the last three weeks. The target is approximately 18million people so it means about 10 million people are still to be registered over the remaining time.

As I write this you only have 6 days to go to your nearest registration center and get registered as a voter. Please do and enlighten a friend, brother, cousin to do so cause the future depends on them.

Kenyans are Kenyans

To be optimistic I know that Kenyans will always be Kenyans and love to do things when they can see the deadline. I do believe than in the remaining days Kenyans will rush to get registered now that it's our way of doing things.

The Waititu week.

Allow some Politico-speak from me at least today.

 It's been a really long week for the Embakasi Member of parliament and Nairobi County governor hopeful Hon. Waititu. How Honorable He may be is another issue but as for now let's assume that ceteris paribus.

The reason I decided to make this post is because of a previous debate we had with people at the office. I was on Waititu's side and of course watu waliamini magazeti na media. 

My view of this whole issue is that Mr. Waititu did not buy all this, Media hyped it too much and tables turned politically for Mhesh for a crime he probably never committed.

Let my explain why I think Waititu is within his own line.

1.This is waititu... yes. Himself

First and foremost we must understand that this is Waititu. Kwani what did you expect of Waititu? Asking this I mean we all know his previous record and mode of operation. He's a person who serves instant justice and makes remarks as they stream in his head depending on the current situation.Go search for waititu on youtube and have a alook at his history(click here to see the search). Just like we understand many other politicians nature and personalities then I think Waititu is not an exception here given that he did not sneak into leadership. He is not even a nominated member of parliament. Think people. You never knew the person you elected?

 2. This is Kayole

Kayole is not just any hood. Especially kayole regulation and justice is served differently. That's how they live. Shock me and tell me you never knew that. They have regulating forces other than just the government. Whether the government and NCC provides it's services enough in kayole enough is another issue.

3. This is Kenyan media

Kenyan media is the shadiest shadow of a country's media we'd have. They want to create a story sell newspapers and develop that story for the rest of the week while poor kenyan's give in to reading stories that don't even get to the truth of the matter.

Do we know the context in which Mhesh said what he said? most probably the locals in embakasi call the 'culprits' who do crimes 'wamasai'... In any case 'wamasai' is a common name for watchmen in eastlands. If you live in westlands or lavington you may not know that and so that definitely means tribalism to you. Moreso masai are also in TZ... is it tribalism beyond borders? 

It's unfortunate that the office in the  ministry of water may be vacant cause of political issues but I hope this is the beginning of the separation between government and politics. Politicians/MP's should not run governments in future 'ven though we love to vote for them whenever we get the chance.

#London2012

First of all heshima zangu goes out to all the 49 athletes that represented #TeamKenya at the London Olympics 2012.It's indeed a great honor to represent your country in anyway. Hata kama you were the only one. This applies in any other event including ku twist mdomo huko states :-^ . Lot's of congrats to all athletes who did their best to at least endure to the end of their respective races. Quitters never win; so not quitting is winning in a way. Bigup.

 I must also say that London was more than prepared to host the Olympics British style. Perfect information sharing, well updated site with all the info one may need upon visiting it. Moreso creating an Olympics atmosphere sio mchezo. I got it.


Back to #TeamKenya, I really think they did a good job. I personally don't like how the media reports nationally on broadcasts and print that the team has let us down. Tweeps have also been unfair in spreading the word about #TeamKenya's failure. When did we ever celebrate them enough for doing us proud in the media's standards? We should be proud of our team whether they perform or not. Their unconditionally ours and just choosing to represent the country wherever means a lot already.
Anyway as the Olympics end today, Let's purpose to welcome our heroes well without the slightest complain that someone would have done this or that. We correct what's wrong before next time not wait and tweet it when their in Brasil '14. No!
In short, Kenyans tuwe wapole.
It's just my opinion so it doesn't matter.

i hope #teamkenya doesn't sneak back into the country. this is one team we need to show our support right from the airport. down is not out.
