Felix Kilonzo

Earlier last month I argued that Kamba politics may be insignificant if the hard stand Senator Johnston Muthama is not backed by strong team in the senate from the region. I also said that the ‘Kilonzo’ factor sets standards for the Kamba politics wherever Kenyans go. I am not saying so simply because I am kilonzo but I bet we are formative in all that we do and we do not ‘water melon’ like others said to be. As a stun supporter of the fallen senior Counsel Mutula Kilonzo, the decision by the CORD alliance to back Kethi Kilonzo to contest for the senate seat in Makueni is welcoming. I am sure none will dispute that Kethi will competently represent the issues of the County of Makueni in a more meaningful manner. Reports coming from the standard newspaper confirm the long awaited decision by the junior counsel grand entry into the world of politics and for many it was like she already won this battle bring it on. The daughter of the late Makueni County Senator Mutula Kilonzo, Ke

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 brings

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

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-Chemistry dream and deviated fully to the Journalism field and 7 years on, I am yet to see the entire ship. Talking of a process, I d o remember my Mathematics teacher back in the days. She used to say life is like a normal distribution curve or simpl
