Let our diversity be our sense of nationhood and patriotism.


The founding fathers of our nation were energized and visioned and determined to fight poverty, deceases and ignorance. Our generation inherit a society with same challenges of our fore-fathers. At independence Kenya was a nation of diverse people determined to work together and meeting goals and aspiration of our nation.

In past decades our diversity has been the source of conflicts,  up to now we are still confounded by incompleteness of our national and societal consolidation process of managing a society which is just and inclusive.

Its time for all people to arise beyond our tribal lines and work like brothers and sisters, we all pass the same challenges ,as a country we are great nation blessed with people from different tribes let this not cause any divisive between us instead it should promote our patriotism by appreciating each other regardless of his /her background. 

People are greatest asset of any nation and us as Kenyans we are endowed with rich diversity of people and cultures. As Kenyans we need to employ all energies and focus on shared common future. Our diversity have enormous strength that we need to tap on and build a strong relationship of all Kenyans

In past elections our diversity has been the source of tensions, misunderstanding and strife, people have fought due to this where  our leaders have taken advantage of our diversity to split us as a nation  through their speeches and stereotypes of inciting tribes against other we should now learn from our past experiences and ignore such leaders . Our diversity should not be a source of tensions and exclusion instead we should harness this, build harmony and draw strength out of it.

Past years we have experienced economic decline and social tensions. Politics have led to ethnic differences of Kenyans, it's time for all people to draw our diversity in building a patriotic dignified and  and confident society that will help us in establishing a health society with an economy which is competitive, robust, dynamic and resilient which is able to respond to vicissitudes of operating an open economy

Kenya deserves a democratic process, indeed Kenya must build on her past victories, our fore-fathers greatly won our independence through blood we must not go backwards. We must all face the future and go forward as nation regardless of our diversity  let's say 'no' to violence it have led to loss of innocent Kenyans and destruction of properties which have led to decline in our economy. 

Let Kenya be free, pluralistic and tolerant where all tribes  live in harmony and cohesion  with a spirit of mutual understanding and respect. Yes we may be a diverse in terms of our tribes and ideas but all of us want the same thing-better Kenya.

Politics and drama behind teachers strike saga

Last week parliament had a tough argument on whether to take back money allocated  for laptops to teachers who are on strike, it was a battle between the two coalition in parliament that is cord and jubilee.


The motion was debated where the two rivalry  coalition disagreed and not only disagreed they disagreed vehemently as cord leaders supported while jubilee disagreed, it reached a point they were to decide on ballot as to whether the money allocated for laptops would be turned to cater for teachers demands.


Cord leaders claimed the laptop is not the priorities the jubilee government should consider, they complained and persistently insisted teachers should come first. They compared a student in Turkana on how you would teach them on how to use the laptops under trees and others claimed the government should consider building and restructuring schools.


On their side jubilee government with their tyranny of numbers in parliament insisted laptops promise should  be implemented, obviously with their numbers they rejected the motion.


 Politics will never lack 5years in power is not a long period both coalitions had their promises on their blueprint  the jubilee won, people will judge them on how they will have achieved on their promises, if laptops will not be implemented the cord coalition will have a trap card to out do their opponent.
You cannot see directly the politics behind it but if you look on a perspective on how the politicians in parliament dramatized the whole issue you can see the truth behind it.

If you promise a child something you should be ready to give, even the bible says a child can not ask her father a bread and he give her a stone so whatever government promised children it should be implemented with heart


  The world has  changed in terms of ICT sector and people must accept the fact and stop the critics of excuses of teachers strike.

Teacher is a valuable human being in our society and government should address their demands with utmost good heart, everybody have passed through them, whether you are President, doctor, Politician and everybody you would like to mention.


It's high time teachers should be recognized by the government, if it were members of parliament wanted to increase their salaries all of them they would  have been united but when something that is of public interest they part ways.



The government has money so laptop funds allocated should not be diverted to cater for teachers  let the treasury release money to cater for teachers, as each and every financial year ministries returns billions of their unused funds to treasury so those funds can solve the strike

Politics should change and our leaders should keep  their animosity and ammunition and discuss matters that  is of public interest.
