RAILA TALKS ABOUT IEBC FAILURE IN UK

CORD leader Raila Odinga has taken the discussion on getting rid of the current Kenya's electoral body a notch higher in United Kingdom where he had gone to deliver a lecture at Catham House on "The Importance of Democracy in Africa;Kenya's Experience".This was on the sidelines of the crowing of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as the Democratic Party US presidential candidate.
The former premier utilized the international platform to criticize the country's levels of democracy saying they have been orchestrated by the lack of an accountable Independent Electoral and Boundary Commission (IEBC).Putting Kenya among other African nations with struggling democracies, Raila said despite regular multi-party elections, there is still no direct translation to good governance and respect for rule and law and freedoms.
The opposition doyen further put the international community on the spot saying they are mandated to protect democracy in African nations.
"These efforts (on democracy) in Kenya and elsewhere in Africa need the backing of all forces that believe in democracy," said Raila.He added: "They require that the US and the
EU must do more for democracy; fight corruption, defend Internet freedom and media freedom and protect democracy activists.
The CORD bigwig said that since the numerous multiparty election have not yielded much, there is need to focus on building more free societies, create clear cut of separation of powers, independence of the media and the judiciary, devolution of power and resources, restriction on presidential power and also respect for term limits.
Referencing on countries like Senegal, Djibouti Rwanda, and Malawi whose economic growth rate is above six per cent above Kenya's, Raila noted that countries that have adopted accountable and democratic governance systems have made strides on the social and economic front.
"These countries are reaping the democracy dividend that ensures sound management of public resources and political stability through regular, credible elections and peaceful and predictable transfers of power," Raila said.
Raila said Kenya (and Africa at large) has become a country where elections are being
viewed on how peaceful they are and not how free and fair they should be: "The performance of incumbents is getting judged by how they can be used to fight terrorism no matter the human rights abuses that accompany the fight and the economic gains that come with doing business with those regimes."
He warned that despite all the gains a country might have made, just one electoral cycle is enough to wipe it all out.
"After 2007, Kenya was suddenly thrust into a political crisis following a botched election. From an 8 per cent annual rate of growth, we dropped to a miserable 2 per cent in 2008 after the post-election violence," said the CORD leader. "That is why since 2013, Kenya's Opposition has demanded fundamental reforms to the electoral infrastructure as the surest way to safeguard democracy," he added.
Raila said his team is pursuing reforms to the system of voter registration, the counting of the votes, result transmission, and announcement of the results.
"We are pushing an electoral body that operates in a truly open and transparent manner with an obligation of complete disclosure of all its operations in the conduct and management of elections," said Raila.

HOTUBA YA CHANSELA WA MOI

Julai ishirini na mbili ilikuwa siku muhimu kwa jamii ya Chuo kikuu cha Moi kwa jumla baada ya kutembelewa na chansela wa chuo hiki Muadhamu Profesa Miriam K. Were. Profesa huyo wa afya aliyeanza kazi za kitaaluma akiwa mwalimu wa bayolojia na kemia katika shule ya sekondari mnamo mwaka wa 1965 kabla ya kupitia taaluma kadhaa na kuwa profesa, alichaguliwa kuwa chansela wa Chuo Kikuu cha Moi mwaka wa 2013.

Alianza hotuba yake kwa shukrani kwa mwenyezi mungu na kuonyesha tofauti kubwa kati yake na wasomi wenzake ambao huliona neno la mungu kuwa ni upuzi na kelele. Profesa, aliongoza wanafunzi kwa wimbo wa kumsifu mungu kabla ya hotuba yake kamili.

Hotuba ya profesa ilisheheni mausia kwa wanafunzi na hata uongozi wa Chuo. Aliwapongeza makomredi kwa kupiga kura kwa amani na kupigilia msumari Kauli ya naibu katibu mkuu wa MUSO bwana Festus Koech aliyesema, "demokrasia bila amani si demokrasia". Aliwapa changamoto wanafunzi kuona fahari kujiunga na chuo hiki kwani, kina historia ya kuwa chuo kikuu cha kwanza kuwahi kujengwa eneo la  mashinani. Pia alitaja viongozi wakuu katika siasa ambao ni pamoja na Seneta wa Mombasa Hassan Omar kama vielelezo vikuu vya ukuu wa chuo hiki.

Katika hotuba hiyo, alitaja kuwa elimu siyo uwanja wa kipekee wa kufanikiwa maishani kwani wapo waliofanikiwa nje yake.

Aliishauri hadhira yake dhidi ya ubinafsi na kusema kuwa, ni bora zaidi mtu kutumia uwezo alionao ili kuwainua wenzao walio chini. Alidai kuwa, kipimo bora cha ufanisi wa mtu maishani ni idadi ya watu ambao amewasaidia kuinuka kutoka chini na kuwapa mwelekeo wakati akiwa na uwezo. Aliwasihi wanafunzi kutumia elimu yao ili kuinua wale ambao walikwama vijijini. Alisema kuwa, umuhimu mkuu wa kuwasaidia watu ni kujijengea jina na marafiki wengi.

Kwa upande wa afya, alisisitiza ujumbe wa kuchuja chakula cha kila siku. Alitoa mfano wa matumizi ya nyama kwa sana kama kiini cha kusababisha saratani na kuiomba hadhira yake isiwe na uraibu wa kula vyakula vinavyodhuru afya. Pia, alisema kuwa, inafaa mtu apate muda mwingi wa kulala hasa masaa saba hadi manane ikiwa ni njia moja ya kupumzisha akili na kuongeza uwezo wa kufikiria siku inayofuata. Alizungumzia pia athari ya pombe na dawa za kulevya. Mwisho, profesa aliwarai wanafunzi kutia bidii katika masomo yao.

Kando na hotuba, wanafunzi wengi walimsifu Profesa Were kwa jinsi alivyovaa na kujionyesha mtu aliyeukumbatia uafrika na kujivunia uafrika wake. Hiyo ni changamoto kubwa kwa wasichana wanaoasi uafrika na kujipagaza uzungu licha ya kisomo chao kidigi. Mwendo wa saa sita hivi, profesa alimaliza hotuba yake na kuwaaga wanafunzi.

MOI UNIVERSITY CHANCELLOR’S SPEECH BRIEFINGS.

By Kennedy Mwikali

The chancellor of Moi University, Mrs Mary addressed the students of Moi main campus on Friday 22nd July 22, 2016. She is the 3rd vice chancellor of the institution and has been awarded several times in the medicine profession. Her short life in school left everyone inspired for stating that she used to be nicknamed the ‘temperature measure’ for walking around barefooted but she made it .

First and foremost, she gave a brief history of the university. She mentioned some personalities such as Ole Kiapi, Omar, Senator of Mombasa county who have made it from this institution to encourage comrades to choose role models wisely. She stated that the institution has the most schools compared to other universities. She also echoed the words said by the currently elected the assistant secretary general in the 30th students governing council, comrades Lastborn -‘Democracy is not democracy without peace. She gave an example of the institution being the mother of Kabianga University, Maasai Mara University and University of Eldoret among others by encouraging comrades to build up others as they strive to build up themselves and the each day demanding success.

Having a PHD in medicine profession, she stressed much on the health of the comrades by the following health tips;
Urged them to eat meat and other fatty foodstuffs moderately.
Eat vegetables to promote their body functions.

Avoid alcoholic drinks at all cost for it can be your friend or enemy. Alcohol-[mind destroyer]
Sleep at least 7 to 8 hours.

The power failure I thought cut short her speech and raised the comrade’s anxiety. Hesitating on my thought that she would comment on the same but to no avail, made most of them drop their expectations of their problems solved.                      
                                                         

BARUA KWA TOWETT NA REMMY

Na SIMIYU wanyonyi

Nina wingi wa matumaini ya kuwa mtasoma na kuelewa ujumbe huu. Naomba kupewa fursa kusema nanyi, muda mchache tu baada ya kuchaguliwa kwenu kuwa viongozi wa MUSO. Awali ya yote, ningependa kuwapa pongezi. Pongezi kwa juhudi zenu tangu semesta ianze. Mmeyapitia mengi: si milima na mabonde, si raha na karaha, si howe na bezo, si kufumwa kwa maneno ya kuchefua na yale la kuwapa tumaini. Kwa yote hayo, mlistahimili hadi mwisho. Mlipopokezwa medali kwa ushindi, mlishusha pumzi zenu. Matunda ya juhudi zenu yakawa paruwanja. Kigoda sasa, mmekikalia.

Nimechaguwa kuanza nanyi katika msururu huu wa uandishi wa barua kwa kuwa, kando na kushikilia nyadhifa kuu zaidi ndani ya meli ya MUSO, pia nyie ni wagombea mliochaguliwa kwa kura zilizozidi 2000. Kwa kigezo hicho, ni yakini kuwa mliaminiwa zaidi na makomredi. Wanasema, penye uvuli ndipo niwekapo mwanangu. Makomredi waliamini hilo kabla ya kufanya uamuzi wa kuwachagua. Nina maombi kadhaa kweni.

TOWETT NGETICH . Rais wa MUSO. Uaminifu wetu kwako natumai hautatuponza. Meli ya MUSO kabla ukalie kigoda cha Urais, imekuwa katika hali ya kuyumbayumba kiasi kwamba, kosa dogo tu litaizamisha meli. Viongozi wa awali, walikuwa wakitumia meli hii kama chemchemi ya kujaza mafuko yao, kufurisha miili yao ambapo badala ya tumbo, walimiliki viriba. Ahadi kwenye manifesto zao, walizificha zisionekane tena. Badala ya kuwa watetezi wa komredi, walikuwa vijiko vya kuwapakua na kuwaangusha kwenye makaa ya moto wa seneti. Usaliti ati,vibaraka wa utawala mkuu. Walivuja pesa za makomredi kana kwamba wanajilipa madeni waliokopesha makomredi. Meli inayumba. Ndiyo maana, siku hizi humu, sera hazimtoi nyoka pangoni. Humu, ungwana haufai, bora pesa. Kama sivyo basi, kabila lako litakubeba. Idhibati ya haya nisemayo ni jinsi ulivyochaguliwa kutokana na juhudi za makabila ya Kalenjin na Luyha, KALE-LUYHA. Lakini je, utakiuka desturi za watangulizi wako na kuwa mtendakazi badala ya mhepakazi? Nashukuru kusikia kuwa ulisema umejitolea kuwaunganisha makomredi, lakini maneno hayajengi ghorofa. Nakuomba upige mbizi: hadi kwenye hazina ya MUSO na ushone palipotoboka. Piga mbizi, uhakikishe kuwa kila aliye chini yako anawajibikia maagizo ya kikatiba. Mtihani wa kwanza ni jinsi utakavyochuja na kumteua Mhariri mkuu wa MUSO (Editor-in-chief). Je utafanya kama watangulizi wako gizani ama utaweka mambo wazi?. Anza mapema, enda na uchao si utwao.

MWALO REMMY  katibu mteule wa makomredi. Mtetezi wa katiba ya MUSO. Unajua kuwa wapo wengi waliomwahidi komredi kuwa atapata katiba mpya pindi tu waingiapo madarakani. Kwenye uongozi wa hivi punde, yamkinika kuwa OLIVER BILL alipiga hatua kubwa ya kukarabati katiba lakini hakufua dafu. Labda atasingizia muda mchache mamlakani au upungufu wa raslimali. Au pia, atasingizia wadhifa wa mkate nusu. Ikiwa ni hivyo basi, ni aula ikiwa katiba hiyo itawachwa iwe jinsi ilivyo kwa kuwa, ukarabati huo umekuwa ndoano ya kuvua pesa za komredi na kuzimimina kwenye mifuko ya marafiki zao na bila shaka bosi mwenyewe. Najua kuwa mja hachagui zawadi, lakini wewe ulichagua huu wadhifa. Ulitaka uwe mti pajengwako kiota cha katiba ati. Nakuomba uzame : utafute alipokwamia OLIVER BILL na uweke kituo kwa harakati hizo. Funga asasi zote ambazo hujigamba kuwa zinakarabati katiba ilhali shabaha ni kumfyonza komredi na kupuliza ziliponga'ata kama panya. Kisa! Komredi ni mpita njia tu na iwapo humfai kwa haraka, utamfaa lini? Isitoshe, katiba haikarabatiwi kwa siku moja. Muda wako, kama watangulizi wako, ni mchache. Ushujaa si kupigana na akushindaye. Tekeleza majukumu yako mengine kwa kuwa, katiba mpya umekuwa wimbo wa kualika pepo mbaya afyonzaye pesa za komredi.

Si muhali kutaja kuwa mlibebwa na jamii. Na ya kuwa, mlitumia hela kuwarai watu kuwaunga mkono, lakini kumbukeni kuwa safari ni hatua. Mpe komredi cha kumfanya atabasamu. Uongozi usikuchafulie jina kwani, udandao pia, ndio ukubwagao.

Moi University Students Elect New Leaders in Peaceful Election

By Jemedari Mwanawakiume

Every institution bases some of its success on the development and incorporation of a strong leadership team that can steer it to success. For universities, the student leadership body is a critical team that stands in to represent the student’s needs and enables the institution staff and management better serve learners.

Unlike many institutions of higher learning whose elections have been marred with violence and unrest, Moi University once again proved its maturity in conducting students' elections for the academic year 2016/2017. In the hotly contested elections, a huge surprise was witnessed in the winners list, as most of the candidates were definitely favourites of students.

Following a thorough and well planned student election, the Moi University students were provided the opportunity to elect a fresh team of leaders to form the Moi University Students Organization (MUSO) and provide leadership to the growing student base.

The university selected an electoral body that structured the nomination and vetting process in a way geared to engage serious contenders who are disciplined, doing well in their studies and able to stand in for their fellow students, even as their leadership skills are developed and nurtured.

The peaceful election held at the university main campus saw the much talked Mr. Towett declared the winner and new MUSO President after garnering in excess of 2260 votes, the highest number of votes for any presidential candidate since Inception of MUSO. This ensured he is declared a winner against other candidates, Rathore and Nthiwa. Mr. Towett, a soft spoken gentleman, who is described by many as a humble and brilliant seemed to be the favourite of many, if his famous movement is anything to go by.

In other top seats Lavinna Samini was elected the Vice President, a post hotly contested too, with major opposition from Faith Muthoni, former School of Arts and Social Sciences Secretary General Mwalo Remmy Wayne managed to beat other contenders of MUSO Secretary General position while Festus Koech (Last born), who was the favourite in the race of assistant, clinched the Assistant Secretary General position.

Commenting on the election, member of the Student Electoral Body were pleased with the students’ discipline and commitment in using their democratic right to elect the leaders of their choice and championed the management for the support provided to run the successful election.

“It went very well and students were able to cast their vote leaders of their choice in a very peaceful election,”  said one student, adding,“we salute all the aspirants for running great campaigns and congratulate all the winners. We believe they will serve the student’s diligently.”

Commenting on his win, Towett expressed his gratitude to all those who elected him President and assured the students that he is up to task and will deliver on the promises he made to the MUSO fraternity during the campaign period.

Here is a full list of those who will form the MUSO:

JOHN AND BRENDA’S “KEEP LEFT” TRAGEDY


Greg Adero
They held hands partially and walked along the streets. Their lips locked periodically and giggling was all people could hear. All the way from Stage to Hostel H .People wanted to be like them. They had been like this for almost 2 years now. John* and Brenda* were both second years. Their behavior too was universal.

On that day, his roommate left and freedom could be heard screaming into the ears of John, finally he had exiled him. This was what he looked forward to all his time. Kisses as usual, a little giggling here and there. It was worth of a time. A look at them would make one faint with toxicity of jealousy in their blood.

This evening, they had made up their minds to go for it, for what they had yearned for. That moment when John would go into her and deliver her into the world of assumptions and sweet dreams. It could be seen in their faces that though in a shorter time, they accomplished their mission. Dead silence.

After two weeks, I found myself within their lives. I couldn’t tell who they were but i could hear their voices suddenly rising and lowering in tones. Early the next morning, a tragedy erupted, as i played as usual something hit me from within. I found myself calm, could not play anymore and almost still. I didn’t know what happened but after close to five weeks i got back my energy. I could hear a sweet nice voice always singing on the background. I thought I knew the owner but couldn't tell.

It was early in the morning as am told, a day like today when I found myself on earth. As soon as my umbilical cord was cut and detached and my cry was hard, I had known the owner of the voice i used to hear. It was Brenda’s, my beloved mother. I was yet to know that she had endured a lot more. After weeks and months of growth, stories started flowing and I got to know my dad. John had become a drunkard.

On the go was that, John had ordered Brenda to get rid of me as soon he found out that I was the ultimate price. The moment I had something hit me was because of his forceful tact which ended up with Brenda receiving blows and kicks from all corners of her abdomen…God’s grace prevailed and my mother survived.

Months passed and another year rolled. I remember that day, it was the last day of their studies. Mother had done all to make sure that I survived. Father always came in seldom and empty-handed though they still smiled. This day though was a different one, from the graduation square. There was silence till we reached at the KEEP LEFT signboard. Dad closely turned to my mother, looked at me and a booming voice was all I heard. I had dozed off but when I woke up, each was clinging unto one of my arm trying to pull me from the other person. I cried while calling my sweet mother in tears. She had broken down and father kicked her and took me away. We left her rolling and crying along the highway. Onlookers stayed from a distance.

We traveled close to 2hrs in complete silence and only my cries could be heard. I thought to myself and for a moment heard the songs my mother used to sing ring in my ears. I thought of how sweet she used to be and swallowed saliva bitterly knowing that I will never see her again. All of a sudden, people's faces frowned and cry erupted, before i could tell what was happening, my eyes saw a “keep left” road sign and into a long ditch people fell. An accident of the worst kind had happened and dad was among those who died. Miraculously, I survived with the thoughts of my mother. I was finally alone in this world.IT ALL ENDED IN THE “KEEP LEFT!”.

This story is dedicated to all those campus ladies who endure the pain of motherhood and love!. A special dedication to all responsible men in campus.

KUCCPS Makes Inter-university Transfer Easier, Online Applications Opened

Student politics: How to get ahead in student politics

The world of student politics is not for the faint hearted. It is vicious precisely because the stakes are so small.

Many believe university politics can offer a route to that small house in a hill-state house.

It is better, instead, to view it as a path to an impressive CV. To lead is a noble thing, and student politics will teach you vital life skills.

If you are still determined to climb the greasy pole of student politics, here are a few handy pointers:

Make yourself known

You will need to be a big name on campus. Good politicians, real and student alike, are well-liked – or at least cultivate an aura of likeability. Personal friendship is the backbone of any student campaign.

Believe in what you’re selling...

Do not blatantly prostitute yourself out – make sure you actually like what you are standing for, and enjoy meeting the people you’re trying to win over. If you fake it, they’ll hate it.

... but leave your ideals at home

That said, you’ve got to be in it to win it. You won’t gain election armed only with well-meaning ideals – know your audience, know the various political tribes, and find the route of least resistance to bring the necessary majority to a point of common agreement. Sounds cynical, but it works.

Harness the machine

Elections at any level require building a dedicated team. Remember, you will be up against people who’ve planned out their university politics career from matriculation to graduation. It doesn’t hurt to butter up the student newspaper editors either.

Keep your hands clean

Don’t get dirty – allow others to do so. Mudslinging and shadowy tactics are inevitable, but as the candidate you have the final say on how dirty your side becomes. In our time at campus there were cases of industrial sealant being used to block an opponent’s door, a candidate ringing up their opponent’s mobile phone company claiming their phone had been stolen, and instances of bugging the opposition’s meetings. Sadly on one such occasion the party being spied upon discovered the device, and found upon it recordings of the would-be spy’s own meetings. Best just to keep your hands clean.

5 Classic Prints That Will Never Go Out Of Style

BY JEMEDARI Mwanawakiume

If you’re an all things fashion enthusiast who follows the latest trends from the fashion runways and style influencers, then you will concur when I say that some prints are enduring, seasonless and never go out of style.

And even if they go out of style, they are cyclical; always come back with a bang! These classic prints, if worn and paired with the right pieces are always chic especially when worn as separates.
It’s important to mention though that it’s always safe not to overdo prints so as to avoid looking too matchy-matchy in a clown-y way.

Here are classic prints that never go out of style:

---

1. Animal Print

Here’s What 100 Years Of Handbag Trends Look Like In 2 Minutes

By JEMEDARI MWANAWAKIUME

Handbags are like our BFFs. We take them with us everywhere we go.

But did you know that the big bags we carry nowadays were not always the chic looking bags that they are today?

Perhaps the best video yet by Mode’s 100 Years Of Style, we see the bags evolving in terms of designs, shape, size and fabric used to make them; from tiny bags, made of lace and other colorful fabrics to the leather bags we currently know of.

What’s even more interesting is the evolution of the bag contents. Throughout the years, the handkerchief has evolved in terms of patterns, we also see women beginning to put makeup on as we inch towards the 80s and listening to music by carrying radio tapes, we also see them becoming more independent as the years go by, by carrying money, car keys, attending concerts, taking photographs and becoming more fashion forward by wearing sunglasses and carrying designer perfumes.

KALE-LUYHA

Na SIMIYU wanyonyi

Hauchi hauchi unakucha. Hakuna kinachodumu milele eti, kama vingine vyote, binadamu pia hubadililika. Haikutarajiwa. Haikufikirika. Haikuoteka kuwa haya yanayofanyika chuoni , yangetokea. Labda kibwege tu. Mahasimu wawili kuketi chini na kuelewana na kuapa kupanga kazi pamoja. Safari huanza kwa hatua. Hatua ya kwanza labda, ilikuwa ni ile ya Ababu Namwamba na John Waluke. Wakahama katika makazi yao ya muda mrefu.

Siku za hivi karibuni jamii za Kalenjin na Luya, wameonyesha ari ya kuungana na kuunda jabali watakalotumia kulenga na kushinda uchaguzi wa MUSO siku ya ijumaa. Mazungumzo baina ya viongozi wa jamii hizi mbili yameonekana kuzaa matunda kwani, muungano wao sasa umekuwa wazi kama mchana wa jua. Muungano huu ambao hakuna aliyewahi kuutabiria kutokana na historia ya siasa za humu chuoni inasemekana kuwa, umezileta jamii ambazo zinaongoza kwa idadi ya makomredi humu chuoni. Ni muda mrefu tu katika siasa za chuoni ambapo jamii za Luya na Luo pamoja na Kisii, zimekuwa zikiungana dhidi ya zile za Kalenjin, kikuyu na GEMA kwa jumla. Lakini mwaka huu, mkengeuko umetokea. Jamii ya waluya na wakalenjin wameamua kuwa, heri kenda kuliko kumi nenda urudi. Usaliti waliohisi kufanyiwa na wanandoa wa o wa zamani umewaleta pamoja kama yatima waliofiwa. Wameamua kufanya kazi kwa pamoja.

Muungano wao ukaitwa, KALE-LUYHA. Katika muungano huu, kuna vyeo ambavyo vitahitaji majadiliano na vile ambavyo wagombea watachaguliwa moja kwa moja. Katika viti ambavyo wagombea watachaguliwa moja kwa moja ni kama vile:
- Katibu mkuu (sec gen) =Mwalo Remmy (COWESA)
- naibu wa mwenyekiti (VC) =Lavinah Samini(COWESA)
- mwekahazina(finance director) =Murkomen/Newton (KALENJIN)
- msaidizi wa katibu mkuu(ass sec gen) =Festus (KALENJIN)
- michezo (sports & games) = Esther Wasike(COWESA)
- health = Faith Chimoli( COWESA)

Viti vitakavyohitaji majadiliano ya kina ili kuleta maelewano ya ni yupi atakayepeperusha bendea ya KALE-LUYHA ni :
- rais wa MUSO =Shem Albert (COWESA) na Towett Ng'etich (KALENJIN)
- Catering = Husna Hassan (COWESA) na Linet Baliachi(KALENJIN)
- entertainment = Klint Wafula(COWESA) na Dukakis(KALENJIN).
- Security & accommodation =Maxwell Angatia(COWESA) na Kebut Benson (KALENJIN)

Ni matarajio ya wengi kuwa, wale watakaoondolewa kinyang'anyironi wataheshimu uamuzi huo ili kuupa muungano wenyewe uhai na nguvu za kustahimili wapinzani wao. Haijabainika wazi iwapo kuna mpango wa kuileta jamii nyingine katika muungano huu ingawa, wengi wanasema, KALE-LUYHA ina uwezo. Heri nitakula na nini, kuliko nitakula nini. Jamii hizi, angalau zinaona mwanga wa kuaminiana na bila shaka penye nia, pana njia.

@kaka siwa.......heri kujikwaa kidole kuliko kujikwaa ulimi. Chunga ulimi wako usizae tafrani. Amani amani Amani.

MASHETANI

Na Amadioha Wa Nzanze


Uongozi na mamlaka ni hadhi ambazo karibu kila mwanadamu humezea mate.Huku kunamaanisha ya kwamba huenda usijue ni nani kiongozi  bora na ni nani kiongozi wa kupanga tu hasa ukizingatia misingi ya miungano ya makabila maarufu kama ‘coalition” iliotawala nchi ya kenya.

Ebrahim Hussein katika tamthilia yake ya MASHETANI, anaonyesha jinsi kuna mtafaruku wa kimatabaka unaeondelezwa hasa na viongozi weusi.Viongozi hawa hawapo tu katika  visiwa vya Zanzibar kama alivyoelezea mtaalam huyu wa fasihi,bali pia hapa chuoni.Ni vigumu kutambua ni kiongozi yupi aliyebora na ni yupi anyetaka tu kula nyama ya mapaja pindi tu anapochaguliwa kutokana na fedha za kuendesha mwili uitwao MUSO kila mwanzo wa mwaka kwenye kalenda ya kiakademia.

Tunapowachagua viongozi kwa misingi ya ukabila,tunakuza na kuendeleza mashetani yatakayotukwaruza,yatufyonze damu yote,yatufifishe na kutufanya kuwa kama ombwe tupu na wenye wingi wa ubwege.utakuwa ni kama msiba wa kujitakia!

Utakapokuwa ukifurahia kupindukia kwa kupitisha mwanasiasa wa kabila lenu,ikumbukwe ya kwamba faida utakazopata  ni finyu au hata huenda usipate faida yoyote kabisa! Huenda shetani autupe uso wako jehanamu utakakosahaulika kwa miaka na mikaka. Isitoshe,watazizonga akili zako kwa mbinu zao za kishetani ukakosa pungwa,wakakufanya uwe shaghalabaghala na mharibifu wa majina hata  kukufanya uwe na utashi wa kuwasafirisha wenzako hadi akhera. Iwapo tu mashetani hayo yatashindwa kwenye chaguzi hizo.

Usishangae kuyapata mashetani yenyewe yakiwa salama wa salmini huku binadamu wakipiga usiahi,wakiugua kwa maumivu ya majeraha ya  vita hivi vya mau mau.La kuatua moyo zaidi ni kwamba,huenda wengine wao watakuwa  katika vicheko vikubwa vya kishetani huku wewe ukiwa katika harakati zako za ugua pole!

Iwapo hatutafanya uteuzi wa moyoni na kukosa kuzuumu kuwachagua viongozi bora na sio bora viongozi,basi maudhui ya tamthilia ya mashetani yataendelezwa leo,kesho na hata milele, sio tu katika chuo hiki cha kifahari bali pia katika nchi yetu kwa uwanda mpana.

Fedha zako,takriban shilingi mia tano kwa mwaka ndiyo damu yako. Damu yenye afya na uzuri wa kupindukia. Damu isiyo na virusi vya aina yoyote.Damu hii itakumbatiwa na kufyonzwa na shetani iwapo hutakuwa mwangalifu.Kwa upande mwingine,iwapo utamchagua kiongozi bora,damu hii itahifadhiwa na kutumika vyema na kistaarabu katika kuunusuru mwili wetu uliyo katika hali mahututi na unaohofiwa na wengi, kufa wakati wowote toka sasa. mwili unaojulikana kwa jina ;MUSO.
Sote tutaamali.

TALAKA KWA MASHEMEJI

Na SIMIYU WANYONYI

Ilikuwa ni siku iliyojaa vishasha, mashamshamu, mahanjamu na mishemishe za kila aina chuoni moi kutokana na joto la kisiasa liligubika chuo kizima. Furaha na karaha vilishindana wakati kila jamii ilikutana katika maeneo tofauti tofauti ili kupanga mikakati ya nyumba katika dakika hizi za buriani.

COWESA - UPPERHILL(we must great)

Katika uga wa upperhill, jamii ya mulembe ilijumuika pamoja na kutoa msimamo wao kuhusu maswala ya nyumba na uwezekano wa kuunda muungano na yeyote atakayehiari kuwapa watakacho. Katika kongamano hilo, ilibainika wazi kuwa ndoa kati yao na mashemeji haitakuwepo tena baada ya kuhisi kusalitiwa na mashemeji hao. COWESA kupitia kwa viongozi wao, waliamua kwa kauli moja kuwa hawangedhubutu tena kuwashikia ngazi mashemeji kutoka nyanza kwa mara nyingine kwani wao pia wana uwezo wa kujisimamia. Kauli zilizosisitiza msimamo huu ni kuwa, wamekula samaki kwa muda mrefu na umefika wakati wa kubadilisha lishe. Pia waliongeza kusema kuwa maji ya ziwa viktoria yamewazidia. Lililodhihirika pia ni kuwa, upo uwezekano mkubwa wa jamii ya wakalenjin kuungana na wanamulembe baada ya kauli za kunywa maziwa kwa ugali kutolewa sana. Pia, kuwapo kwa Towet Ngetich pamoja na wawakilishi wengine wa jamii ya Kalenjin na hata kuruhusiwa kuongea liliweka wazi azma ya jamii hizi kukumbatiana kwa mara ya kwanza katika historia ya siasa za Moi. Hata hivyo, kuliibuka tetesi kuwa huenda wagombea fulani hasa Husna Hassan wamekwisha tolewa kafara ila tetesi hizo zilipingwa vikali na kudaiwa kuwa ni fununu zisizo na misingi. Hata hivyo, wanamulembe walitoa onyo kali kwa yeyote mwenye nia kumuuza Husna kuwa, huenda wakaamua vinginevyo iwapo tetesi hizo zitakuwa kweli.

Hali haijabainika wazi katika vyeo ambavyo vina wagombea wawili. Cheo cha HEALTH ambapo Faith Chimoli na Juliet Mupalia wameshikilia misimamo yao na vilevile kile cha ENTERTAINMENT ambapo Klint Wafula na John Maina Mwangi pia wanashikilia misimamo dhabiti. Mwanga haujatolewa kuhusu jinsi wagombea hao watakavyochujwa. Kilele cha yote kilikuwa ni nyimbo za kitamaduni wa waluya ambapo pia Towett alijumuika na uimbaji huo kutoka upperhill hadi STUDENT CENTER. Inasemekana kuwa kati ya Towett na Shem, mmoja wao atakuwa mpeperushaji wa bendera ya ndoa hiyo mpya .

Nyuma ya Bweni la A(We the people)

Jamii ya wajaluo ilifanya mkutano wao wa uidhinishaji nyuma ya Bweni la A. Jamii hiyo ilishikilia kuwa ni lazima Rathore Onyango maarufu kama Bishop apeperushe bendera ya CORD. Hata hivyo, baada ya kugundua japo kwa machungu kuwa jamii ya mulembe imeamua kujiunga na wanabonde la ufa, Inasemekana huenda jamii hiyo ikatazamia mlima kenya ili kutimiza matakwa yao.

Tetesi za Ndoa zilizovunjika

Ndoa kati ya Waluo+Waluya na wakisii

Ndoa kati ya Wakalenjin +wakikuyu+wakamba na jamii za Gema

Tetesi za Ndoa zilizozaliwa

Ndoa kati ya Waluya+Wakalenjin +Wakisii

Ndoa kati ya Wajaluo+Wakikuyu+Wakamba na jamii za GEMA

Siku ilitamatika pale ambapo mawe yalianza kurushwa katika ukumbi wa STUDENT center, mahali ambapo Towett na Shem walitarajiwa kutoa hotuba zao.

Je, ni (we the people) au (We must be great)? Ijumaa ijayo ina jibu ya swali hili.

@kaka siwa____amani idumu. Sote tuna damu nyekundu, ngozi nyeusi akili za kufikiria. Zaidi ya yote, sisi ni MAKOMREDI kabla na baada ya uchaguzi. Amani idumu.

Beautiful Ways To Tie Your Pashmina Scarf

    By JEMEDARI Mwanawakiume

Every lady dreads a bad hair day.

With the rains in full effect, you’re bound to run into one of those days when you get drenched under the rain and have no alternative than to take off that weave or braids you made a few days ago.

With no salon open to attend to you as early as 6am, and you don’t have that super sister who happens to be good at everything hair styling inclusive, you’re left with the one and only life-saving piece in your wardrobe. A Pashmina Scarf.

It’s been saving lives as long as I was born. I learned, thanks to my mom LizBeth, how to tie one from a very tender age when it was like mandatory for her to tie her head every Sunday. That alone sends you back into the bedroom to look for it.

There’s one problem, you don’t know how to tie one. You see ladies on the street with stylish turbans and haven’t summoned the nerves to ask them how they achieve it, so you carry on and you’re off to the class/office.

In good health, I’ve got good news, as always I bring you easy saving tips on how to achieve certain looks. And today I’d be sharing 13 amazing  step by step pictures on how to tie your Pashmina Scarf.

The Secret to Walking Gracefully In Heels: 7 Tricks That Actually Work

---

By JEMEDARI Mwanawakiume

---

When Marilyn Monroe said “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world,” we’re fairly certain she was talking about heels.

But if you can’t walk in said heels? Well, that essentially negates any potential conquests, whether you’re in the boardroom or the bar. Accordingly, we’ve put together the seven secrets to walking in heels the right way.

---

1.Walk Heel To Toe Not Toe To Heel

The easiest way to look like ungainly in heels is to put your whole foot down at once, as if you’re wearing flats. It may seem obvious to many, but when wearing a high shoe, put your heel down first, followed by your toe. This will make your walk look more natural.

2. Take Small Steps 

Wearing heels makes your stride shorter than normal, so you’ll have to take an increased number of small steps to go the same distance. Add in a slight wiggle and this can work in any girl’s favour.

3. Dont Rush

Trying to walk quickly in heels can not only look awkward but end in disastrous trip or two. Between the smaller steps and the compromised balance, it’s best to take your time in heels. Besides, walking slowly gives off an air of confidence.

4. Lean Slightly Back

You may find you want to walk faster than your heels will allow, and end up craning your neck to compensate. So allow yourself to lean just the slightest bit back when walking in heels, as this will counteract your inclination to push your torso forward.

5. Visualize Yourself Walking In A Straight Line 

When walking in heels, you’ll walk more gracefully if you look at your goal point (the cafe at the end of the street, for example), and visualise a straight line going toward your end point, rather than staring down at your toes as you walk.

6. Arch Your Foot Slightly 

As you take each step, or if you feel yourself slipping, arch your foot slightly to put pressure on the inside of your shoe. This will make your shoe fit closer to your foot, making it easier to manoeuvre.

7. Wear A Shoe That Fits 

If your shoes are ill-fitting, it makes the difficult task of walking naturally in heels almost impossible. If your heels are too big, use shoe pads for a better fit. If they are too small, consider having them stretched by a local cobbler, or try this hack to stretch them yourself.

Kenyan Photographer Osborne Macharia Covers Courageous Mau Mau Fighters In Bold Photographic Narrative

There is definitely no better way to tell the stories of your countries’ struggles than through a creative mind.

In this series Macicio, the Kikuyu word for “spectacles,” Kenyan photographer Osbourne Macharia gives us a fictional narrative based on a group of freedom fighters in Kenya that lead a revolt against the British empire in the 1950’s.
Osbourne applies such detail and charisma to the series that it gives you a certain sense of nostalgia and innermost gratitude to the soldiers that were brave enough to stand in our defence in Kenya’s colonial times.
The photographer’s short prologue ascribes context to the photographic narrative:

It tells a story of a special unit of Mau Mau fighters (guerilla freedom fighters during Kenya’s struggle for independence) that was made up of highly skilled opticians who created crude spectacles to identify and eliminate the enemy at night. Little is known about them until now.

The descriptions are based solely on the interpretation of the artist.

MUSO SI CORD TENA?

By SIMIYU Wanyonyi

Nguzo kuu za muungano wa CORD zimechukua mielekeo tofauti na isiyotingisika humu chuoni na kutishia nafasi ya muungano huo katika siasa za MUSO mwaka huu.
Umekuwa ni utamaduni chuoni ambapo jamii tatu ambazo ni Luo, Luhya na Kisii huunda ndoa ya pamoja.

Jamii ya magharibi chini ya muungano wa COWESA umeshikilia kuwa ni lazima wapewe kiti kikuu huku zile za nyanza nazo pia, jinsi ilivyojulikana tangu awali, zinamuunga mkono Henry Rathore maarufu kama Bishop. Misimamo hii huenda ikawa kizingiti kwa ndoa nyingine tena.

Fununu zilizozagaa siku ya alhamisi ya kuwa Shem Ouma Wabwire, ambaye ni mgombea wa kiti cha urais kutoka nyumba ya COWESA angelegeleza msimamo wake na kuwania hadhi ya ukatibu mkuu zilipokelewa kwa mitazamo hasi na wanaCOWESA. Wengi wao walisisitiza kuwa, kulingana mkataba uliokuwepo, huu ulikuwa ni wakati wa nyumba ya mulembe kupewa tiketi ya kuongoza baada ya kuwaunga mkono wenzao wa nyanza mara tatu mfululizo ambao ni George Bush (2013),Geoffrey Omondi(2014) na Jared Mogire(2015). Walisema kuwa hawataruhusu kutumiwa tena kama shashi wakati huu na ya kuwa ni lazima wapewe nafasi hiyo.

Ikumbukwe kuwa, katika uchaguzi wa mwaka jana, jamii za nyanza zilichukua zaidi ya robo tatu ya viti vilivyowaniwa huku jamii ya COWESA ikiambulia viwili tu licha ya wingi wao.

Wanamulembe waliongeza kuwa iwapo Shem ataamua vinginevyo, basi ajirushe nje ya kinyang'anyiro kwani kiti hicho cha ukatibu mkuu kitawaniwa na Mwalo Remmy.

Hata hivyo, Shem alipuuzilia mbali fununu hizo akisema kuwa hatatikisika na yuko radhi kupigana jino na ukucha hadi mwisho.

Kwingineko,fununu zinadai kuwa, huenda nyumba ya jamii ya Kisii imetia chini mkataba wa kuungana na JUBILEE na hivyo kujikata kutoka katika muungano huo wa CORD huku jamii ya ukambani ikisemekana kugura na kujiunga na CORD.

Wengi wa wanamulembe wanasema kuwa, iwapo Rathore atashikilia msimamo wake, basi watasimama pekee yao hadi mwisho hata ikiwa itamaanisha kupoteza.

Mgongano huu huenda ukawa ni ufanisi mkubwa kwa Towett Ngetich. Hadi taarifa hizi zilipotayarishwa, jamii za Waluo na Waluya zilikuwa zinaendelea na mikutano yao kinzani katika kumbi za SOWETO MESS na SR 6 kwa usanjari huo.

Je ni we the people au we must be the great?. Jawabu ni julai hii..
