Gaitho got it wrong

In response to today's article in the Daily Nation on gay marriages and the consequent denouncement of the prime ministers move to arrest gays, I beg to disagree with Macharia Gaitho's view on the same. 

 To the argument of Gaitho you are terming the vice imaginary and no one can be liable for any action related or associated to it.Am sure at the time you were writing this article with the expertise and the experience you have in journalism you did not ascertain the fact that the number of gays and lesbians in Kenya is on the rise.Already, for your information a body is in place to fight for the rights of the gays and lesbians living in Kenya dubbed the gay and lesbian coalition of Kenya.

Mr Gaitho you better listen to your conscience and learn to know that gaysm is not an imaginary act and its an of fence to practice it in Kenya.

Mr Odinga could as well have succumbed to pressure from the clergy to stress the fact the new constitution do not  legitimize gaysm and the affiliate practices to speed up the snail -pace constitutional implementation process.

sex against the order of the nature is currently punishable according to the new constitution to a jail term of up to 14 years.

Instead of being the first to denounce the prime minister's  utterances i bet you would have been the first to invent ways of handling the western  vice that is  already marauding the African culture.

Many youths have restored to try singing even with croaking voices that no radio station or presenter would opt to hear play not even the listeners, perhaps this could deter listeners of the radios stations switch to another more serious station and never to tune in again . Consequently there is no money to shoot the videos to a formalized production house ending up shooting an unacceptable music video that may be cannot go beyond where it has been shot.

Former Members of Outlawed Sect,Mungiki Answer to Kenya's Unemployment Crisis

No more Hustling, Vows Former Members of Outlawed Sect By Henry Onyango The current unemployment rate in Kenya and most of the third world countries is alarming. The most affected quarter of the population is the youth, that which commands the greatest number. Several plans by the leaders to respond to the unending crisis have so far been a battle in futility as the number increases daily, monthly and annually probably due to the increased birth rate and bad governance in these lowly developed nations. Kenya’s infamous 2007-2008 post poll chaos where over one thousand people lost their lives and hundreds of thousands misplaced is a clear indicator of the phenomenon.   The idle youth were used by some politicians and the rich to loot, kill and injure those they considered their rivals for their own political good and supremacy. Any group of youth during this time that seemed united was easily brought into these rather shoddy deals that would later lead to criminal cha
