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 termimng 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 ascertained the fact that the number of gays and lesbins in kenya is othe 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 would 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 with speed.

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

You might not visit Kenya fearing of colluding with the law or act of parliament  you have heard through the vibrant local and international media who seem to be more interested in the affairs of the Kenyan government more than the government itself this may deny you the opportunity to see the drama in Kenya. To any visitor in Kenya the law may sound so harsh and to the extent of terming Kenyans all 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.and make a visit.


It is in Kenya where many act 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 modalities of implementing  it. 

The tobacco control act which was unanimously passed by parliament in 2007 and effected in 2008 in which according to the act tobacco smoking was totally not allowed in public places. A legal framework for controlling the production, manufacture, sale advertising and use tobacco products was put in place.so painful it was for smokers .

The act  was so scary that every one kept talking about in the whole country both smokers and non smokers the one million  dollar question is has the act really regulated the use of tobacco and its products in the county.

At the time it was put in place -strict regulations attached none would think that any one would smoke in the city center or in a public bus and still go scoot free. Try facing any of the men and women in uniform whether tobacco smoking is illegal in public places.I'm quite certain that many would not be quite sure whether such law exist.They may only act especially the city askaris on the grounds that its unethical.

the scenario applies to the National Environmental Management Authority(NE MA)'s
noise and Excessive vibration Pollution Control act of 2008.immediately after the erstwhile Environment minister john  Michuki spearheaded  the process things seemed to be working but soon disintegrated in the way as only few were arrested and that was the end of the story.Today noise pollution is official and the usual shouting touts still louder than ever before .what happened? .what has the government lacked of late in handling  this.


Let the weak trend not derail even the constitutional implementation process and undermine the fruit of our labor and clamor for democracy in this country.

 by Henry Onyango Unemployment rate in Kenya continues to beckon day by day  and  this has indeed created  instances  that has so far provoked many youth living in  slums as it is popularly known  look for an alternative  quick alternative lest things go out of hand. 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. Babior Newton, 20 must have heard all these factors in mind and said no not ever to music studios.

Dimina Khasiala Kahi, 52 left her house help job she did for 20 years before meeting the maiden role of taking care of the orphaned children .She is currently the director and founder of Tunza children’s center based in Ngong.  Mrs. Kahi says that she never planned to own a children’s home at any one time but it was only by fortune that she found herself into the activity that has helped many abandoned children in coming from several  parts of the country get a feeling of what their mother failed to offer.  She narrates how one early morning back in 1997 before going  to work in Westlands she saw and fetched a brown carton covered with polythene sheets all over at the dumping site near her place at Kibera’s  Makina estate.

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
