Felix Kilonzo

This coming weekend, top European leagues will join the LGBT community in the campaign against homophobia. I am happy for the initiative that would eventually open up the sport to everyone. As we match towards the attainment of such,  a lot needs to be done. Back in 2015, I posted the following article on my Blog. It's time to kick out homophobia Football is a game that has made people of diverse heritage converge . Things have not always worked for the 13th player for every team. Team Managers have always tried to open up the stadium for everyone.  The war against the unwanted ball rolling inside field of play has continued despite the setbacks. A lot has been said but who really needs to make this possible? Is the topic debatable ? Is it possible to win the war against homophobia in Africa? How does the domestic leagues kick the homophobia out of the stadiums and open the game to everybody? To begin with, Arsenal FC team in London UK initiated Arsenal For Everyone in...

I have from time to time come on spot over what I have strongly opposed in the public checks and balances in Africa. Today I happened to get criticism from a close friend and a blogger Emma Kwezi over my post on Africa needs advocacy journalism.  Emma argued that the west media is biased to report against Africa. He Felix Kilonzo in MKU studios cited that NBC and MSNBC in the USA are entirely Democrat and CNN and FOX entirely pro-Democrat. On that paradigm I don’t see any problem with a media house entirely supporting certain political affiliation for the best of its audience. To avoid contradicting my earlier post of ‘Why Africa Need Advocacy Journalism’ I underscore the need of our citizens to ignore a cluster of political parties and vest interest in 3 main political outfit that would provide leadership in either liberal or conservative manner. Journalism in Africa should play the pivotal role of checking these tyrannical presidents who have redefined monarchy that br...

President Kenyatta Due to public demand, Felix Kilonzo will for the first time break the silence over the TJRC report that was released by the commission to unmask the historical injustices that has affected the country since 1963. Although my silence adversely comes about due to the report’s sensitivity and its tall orders and revisiting what I call the land reforms which I term as a mere joke of our time. The report in paragraph 199 says “During Kenyatta’s administration at independence and for several years thereafter, illegal dealings in land which left many individuals, families and communities landless and land-scarce took many forms.” The intro to the land alienation that existed after the independence that my grandparents fought for indiscriminately was confirmed that the 90% of Kenya is managed by 5% of Kenyans and not through transparent forms but through ill gotten wealth and abuse of office. The report says, “They [Kenyatta administration] included outright land...

                                                                                                   Tweet When one mentions the term journalism, some wonder what that actually means. Is it the content that makes you a journalist? Is it your take on the contemporary issues that guarantees you to be referred to as ‘Journalist’? Well I refresh my mind back in 2006. By then I was in Form 2 in Machakos school, I bet it is still the best school in Eastern Province. The politics, constitutionalism and regional integration filled the air… as a young man of 16 years I could not make out what that actually meant for us, and by the ‘us’ I mean the so-called future leaders. Felix Kilonzo- Mku studios I dropped the idea of pursuing the Bio-Che...
