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.

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. “...
