Ruto is free! Lets vote for peace in 2017

Deputy President William Ruto and Radio Journalist Joshua Sanga are free men! Yes, their cases at the Hague collapsed on Tuesday.
The ICC ruled on Tuesday that Ruto and Sang have no case to answer on the charges against humanity they were facing.
All this started in the 2007/2008 post-election violence that left 1,200 dead and at least 600,000 displaced.
Six Kenyans famously known as the 'Ocampo six' were charged with having led, or involved with the violence that shook Kenya to the core.
The six were the then Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta, Former Industrialisation Minister Henry Kosgey, Former Education Minister William Ruto, Former Cabinet Secretary Francis Muthaura, radio journalist Joshua Arap Sang and former police commissioner Ali Hussein.
Anyway on Tuesday, Chief Registrar Helena Vukasinovic said Trial Chamber judges found no incriminating evidence to sustain the cases against the two and 'meddling'.

This is news that was warmly received in the country with song dance and making merry.
However there are those who are yet to face the reality, that no one will be judged for the atrocity that took place and changed lives of so many Kenyans during the PEV.
Most Kenyans if not all were left with wounds that have not even healed despite national prayers and dinners by our politicians.
I know people who were at the helm of their lives that now live each day begging or in hospital beds because they found it hard shaping their lives after the attacks.
Others grew rich overnight by stealing and looting from innocent people.
Most people have tried to live with the fact that it was a sad phase which is gone not to return.

2017 ELECTIONS
The coming elections have attracted very many people for all kinds of reasons.
Some want to be rich because its known that lots of money can only be got when one holds a political office.
Others want to genuinely help Kenyans make their lives better.
Those who were either direct or indirect victims want to ensure they elect leaders in whose ideologies they believe in, all in the hope of finding solace and solutions to their heavy burdens.
Kenya is a rich nation, with lots of resources for us all, and I hope this can get into everyone's system so we live and take care of each other.
2017 will come and go, issue is where will we be left as a nation?
Think before you vote. Do not cast a vote and later on complain, make a wise decision. More importantly, have your voter's card ready if you want to change your life.

Pray to God, and Congratulations William Ruto, you are a good man!

For fine things in life, we introduce Zipang Lounge

Have you set foot in an Irish pub, well i have, but it was under construction at the time.... In my small time research, i have found out that any establishment is unique based on unique culture centred around a casual and friendly atmosphere, hearty food and drink, Irish sports, and at times traditional Irish music. ION , a humorous writer and master of wits has written some good words about the hottest thing that has happened to Mombasa Road in the recent past, Zipang Lounge Get carried away When I travel, and I have been here and there doing this and that, top on my list of to do things is sampling as varied a menu as I can comfortably sample. Exotic meals, local dishes, name it. So I have experienced quite a varied fare. I have eaten ‘Fufu with green green’ where the accompaniment is escargot, if you catch my drift, at that local foods place inside Accra Mall in Ghana. With soup to die for I must say. Especially with just the right amount of pepe..what we call

Why you can consider joining NYS in your "gap year"

President Uhuru Kenyatta greets National Youth Service recruits after a parade at the NYS college in Gilgil on September 10, 2014.Photo, courtesy After watching 'Boy Meets World', a television series that chronicles the life of friends from middle school days to their marriage life, one thing kept ringing in my mind is how most men make mistakes in the gap between completion of high school and the "start of life" as most people call the transition. In the current set up, once a young man aged 17 or 18 completes high school, there is always gap of about one year before they can join college or college or university. With so much time on your hands, some try the few things they were always warned against. There others who form groups with their peers and spend days roaming in the neighbourhood and, eventually, try a few things like drugs and alcohol. Others take opportunity to try relationships with the opposite sex as this was banned while in school. But

Happy birthday Mr President, lakini wembe una uchungu

One year later, Jubilee on the right track? Today marks the first anniversary of the Jubilee government tenure in office since the repeat polls in October 26, 2017. The goverment led by President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto was elected after the first poll was cancelled by Kenya's Supreme Court citing irregularities, and ordered a new one within 60 days. The election commission had declared incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta the winner by a margin of 1.4 million votes. Raila Odinga, Uhuru's opponent, said the commission was "rotten and demanded their resignation. President Uhuru would later in October clinch the seat with  7,483,895 votes out of the 7,616,217 valid votes cast. The Opposition however did not take part in the repeat poll as NASA supporters barred IEBC officials from delivering voting material and engaged police in running battles. Raila had pulled out of the race two weeks before the election saying it would be skewed like the first poll. He fur
