an article based on the no allies during the campaign on the new constitution mid this year 2010

Listening to the deluge of complaints the no faction is unceasingly leveling against the proposed law one finds most of the argument unreasonable.what one manages at least to gather is their collective motive and object of standing in the way of reform.

The factions are basically two and the reasons why they are objected to the enactment of the document are different.yet they have united tentatively since their goal is one..what depresses a patriotic citizen is their arguments which are hardly based on truth.

As we speak ,the clergy an d the political allies in the no camp are out stoutly confusing citizens through lies .A priest in Kisii for instance shamelessly told the flock recently that the proposed constitution would see the arrest of all aged men if the installment come to pass.It is odd that such fallacy still exist in the church.

In the other hand ,politicians who are without doubt out to protect their selfish interest are at work crusading that the constitution would be the citizens greatest undoing which i bet is not true.

In all, they have resorted to propaganda under the guise of the altruism.if one wants to oppose something let him do son with a clear conscience or reform will end up in as an abstraction.

why kenya may be aplace to make law but none to follow

Y ou might not visit Kenya fearing of colluding with the law or act of parliament you have heard through the vibrant local and international media. This may deny you the opportunity to see the drama in Kenya. To any visitor the law may be an abyss- so harsh to the extent of terming all Kenyans as law makers. Yes it is but the fact is very little is done to enforce the law with both the law makers and the law enforcers so helpless on the way forward.so be cool. It is in Kenya where many acts of parliament are meant to come into effect once an influential member of parliament creates a bill that may protect or grant him or her fame then its put in place without proper laid out modalities of implementation. The tobacco control act was unanimously passed by parliament in 2007 and effected in 2008. In the act tobacco smoking was totally not allowed in public places. A legal framework for controlling the production, manufacture, sale, advert...

Why we Have to Fight Human Trafficking from Within our Borders By Henry Onyango for The Seed Magazine Coming to the city of lights and tall buildings that is Nairobi, is often an attractive prospect for many young girls and boys who have lived most of their lives in the village. Ruth Nafula 14, not her real name, had just completed her standard eight exams in 2014 when she got her first opportunity to travel to Nairobi. Her aunt who lives in Kawangware also convinced her to stay on and secure a job as a house help, for some time before joining secondary school. Nafula was excited as she hoped she would now be able to help her mother who was ailing back at home by buying her food and medicine. This however, was not to be the case. Nafula’s aunt handed her over to the prospective employer within the sprawling slums where she worked for only a month before ‘escaping’ never to be seen again. According to the neighbours, Nafula was often mistreated...

Michuki Tried and Failed will Alco blow Stand Test of Time

By Henry Onyango The re-introduction of a special device to help avert drunk driving and consequently reduce accidents in Kenyan roads is already bearing fruits and must be lauded. The heinous road accidents in Kenya are majorly according to police caused by careless driving by drivers who believe that they can still do it better behind the wheels after taking a bottle or two of the brain –shackling alcoholic substances. The success in curbing road accidents in the country is majorly as a result of the drunk-driving awareness campaign, which led to the re-introduction of the Alcoblow breathalyzers over the festive season in 2013. Kenya’s Transport Cabinet Secretary Michael Kamau said that the reintroduction of the gadget had already saved many lives from the horror of road accidents as result of careless driving. The CS intimated that 141 people had perished in accidents between January 1 and 14 in 2013 compared to 203 within the same period in 2012. “...
