Kenya, Coming to birth, Not yet

Kenya is a country that has been severally described as an haven of peace. With that notwithstanding, the past few years have proved to be pivotal to the stability of this country. To be precise, Kenya is still under the York of black colonialism by the few who want to cling on power. In August 2010, we as a nation was reborn.  Kenya eventually replaced the independence constitution with a new set of laws that were best described as the way forward to getting to where we all wanted to. Kenya promulgated constitution that ensured that devolution was the way forward and with that notwithstanding, equity. Through the new law we ended years of presidential dictatorship and began a new Era of thinking and building the nation together. We were optimistic that we were near that Canaan.  Canaan that you and I will forever cherish but barely less that 5 years on,  IEBC is no longer an independent commission,  it's now a government branch. National police service is no longer independen

Leicester City, Champions of improbability

Eden Hazard goal against Tottenham in the 83rd minute In the fierce London derby at Stamford bridge confirmed that BPL title travels to East Midlands. From villains to champions, from 3rd tier to Top of the table and to Europe. claudio Ranieri wish was to win the Premier League finally is realised through a very cheap squad and now next on the list is making it to the UEFA Champions League. Nobody would have predicted that Leicester City FC could be the champions of England by the end of 2015/16 season.  Nigel Pearson fought hard to have them survive relegation battle last season and Ranieri  made them win their first ever BPL title. Now what remains to be seen is how will they defend the title they have won?  Will other big names revamp their squads to have winning team rather a clone of many stars who are egocentric?  As a gooner I rooted for Leicester City win at expense of My bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspurs. It's not over yet for Arsenal as we have a st.  totteringham day

Arsenal; Same Story different cast

When the barclays Premier League season kicked off,  Many Arsenal fans were certain that this was the end of the long wait.  Over the seasons that elapsed,  Gunners have not gone above 77point mark and this season was not exceptional. With 2 matches to go, Arsenal are third in the log with just 67points, 10 behind leaders and 2 behind bitter rivals Tottenham Hot spurs. Despite beating the Champions-Elect Leicester city FC,  Arsenal lost obvious matches against struggling sides and lost the plot on winning formula.  I joined Arsenal in 2005, shortly after winning the FA Cup against Manchester United I  Millennium Stadium in Cardiff Wales.  As a gooner I had to wait for whooping 9yrs and 11Months  to win my first silverware which was a summary of the nine years..  Arsenal went down 2 goals inside 9minutes in the FA cup 2013 final against Hull City AFC and spend the remainder of the Match leveling before finding the back of the net in the added extra time through Aaron Ramsey 16th goal

Kenya way far behind the finish line

Political class in Kenya have always wanted to make the electorate think they are expandable, this has been evident in the recent past as the build up to 2017 polls gets underway.  We have leaders who think politics is a game of divide and rule,  others think that hand outs are a way of being popular among the electorate but others think making headlines for all wrong reasons wins them popularity.  For close to 6 months, I have been on personal retreat in makueni County.  Despite my silent mood over the period, I have learned that we may be way far from Canaan. We may keep on roaming in the wilderness of ignorance and idiosyncratic thinking. This is because of the trait that Kenyans have in mind that give us our murder and take your saint.  I have listened to a local vernacular station with a state connection and just realized that we may be far from the promised land full of milk and honey.  A popular radio presenter in government owned Mwatu FM,  has been on target with his orders
