FLAMES OF HOPE RETURNS TO SOUTH.SUDAN

President Kirr at long last have agreed to sign an agreement to end the five month long conflict with his former vice president Dr Rick Ma char.

Leader of SPLM/A met in Adidis Ababa to sign a landmark agreement to end the conflict in S.Sudan yesterday 9th may 2014 , this was great achievement of peace process in that country where more hundreds have died others have been inflicted from their homes.

The meeting was facilitated by HE Hailemariam Dessalegm, PM of federal democratic republic of Ethiopia where he met the duo face-face since the outbreak of the war in 15th December last year he facilitated the deal and he ensured it was sealed.

The agreement contains the commitment to immediate end hostilities in the next 24hours of signing and redication to the cessation of hostilities agreement that was signed in Addia Ababa,they have also committed to freeze forces in current locations and refrain from any pro active  action and combat movement until the permanent ceasefire is agreed.

S.Sudan is a resourceful country and leaders should bring cohesion in their country for them to prosper also due to Kenyans who are investors there they have something to smile about.

What went wrong with ODM shambolic elections?

This is an issue that even  to date has never been answered after the out going secretary general Anyany' Nyongo called of indefinetly ODM party election following chaos that erupted in Kasarani Gymnasium.

The men with 'black' stormed and smashed ballot boxes and tore papers. This people according to party leader Raila Ondinga retaliated that he never knew them and he condemned the regretted scenes while likes of Namwamba and Zani blamed the other.

Raila assured that the issue will be investigated to determine the cause but it seems he just gave empty promises to the members of the party as up to now nothing have been released since then. He always says he believe in democracy but what went wrong with the party elections, after the elections in march he came with a slogan 'democracy is on trial', now what now went wrong on his own party?

Some of the members claimed the election didn't go in free and fair way and that is why the election led to the violence.

Wage bill is not the issue transparency is the key

                         
President kenyatta decision to command civil servants to take the pay cut to reduce Kenya baloonns public sector wage bill is great idea but accountability and transparency is the key.

It didn't argue well when the president realized this statement after some few days as it was alleged the trip that they went they used more than one hundred million. I tried to argue his words of saving Kenyan money for more development in the country, to me it sounded very ironical we save and the same time himself and his cabinet used millions in only four days.

The president must understand to take pay cut is not the solution,he must look all holes where public money sinks within the government, starting with un necessary trips by governments officials, huge allowances, instilling discipline in public sector by fighting corruption and ensuring government gives tender in a fair and transparency manner.

Governor Wambora was just a sacrificial lamb

Embu governor made history as first  in Kenya history to be impeached from power in new constitution dispensation; This was a hard pill to swallow for the Governor himself

Wambora valentine turned to be painful and stressful moments which he will never forget in his life; most of us glued to of television watching the senate to know his fate, as long as he was impeached he was just sacrificed due to the recent supremacy battles between governors and senators.

I keenly followed the proceedings looking on senators as they contributed their opinions regarding on three mistakes that Wambora was caught with by senate committee but according to my observations many senators had their own battles with governors regarding who is superior as their opinions vindicated.

It pains a leader who was elected by thousands of voters losing his sit just that way,it clearly now known if you don't impress  the MCAS and Senators you might be the next victim i don't tend to support governors but if we all fight governors we are just killing devolution.

All in all governors must be accountable in their respective counties by involving relevant stakeholders because this is only way we can develop our counties but if the supremacy battle continues we will just be ragging behind and devolution will just be a dream.

MEDIA FREEDOM IS FUNDAMENTAL

After the parliament passed the controversial media media bill,it has faced a lot of resistance from media fraternity and Kenyans at large,personally i think media freedom is fundamental  and it should not be limited whatsoever.

Kenyans came out in large numbers to pass the new constitution which clearly stipulates media freedom, according to article 34(1) of our constitution freedom and independence of electronic,print and all types of the media is guaranteed, also Article 34(2) clearly states:

The state shall not-
a) Exercise control over or interfere with any person engaged in broadcasting,production or circulation of any publication or the dissemination of the information by any medium; or

b) Penalize any person for any opinion or view or content of any broadcast or dissemination

The bill that the president returned to the parliament stating which provision should be changed is not good as he is obliged to return it without dictating which part of the bill should be changed, to make the matter worse he did not mention the harsh part of that bill about the fine that media house and  individual journalist should should be fined  the amount of the money was too much

To gag media is not the solution of the challenges that are facing the country and members of parliament should engage in debates that are beneficial to 40 millions Kenyans.

That bill is returning us back in 1990s when you would not report or talk about the corruption within the government, we really appreciate the watchdog role that media plays in the society and to gag their freedom is backward and barbaric idea.

DAVID MOYES SHOULD TRY TO USE HIS STRONG ATTACKING TO IMPROVE THE CLUB PERFORMANCE


 Manchester united is a club that has a great history in English Premier League  and now after the sir Alex  left the new coach has brought new tactics and style of playing , for along time their formation has been 4-4-2 .

Courtesy of you tube


The new coach should now try to utilize their strong forwards to improve their performance,David Moyes should try to use 4-2-3-1 system which is used by strong clubs such as Chelsea and Real Madrid by using likes of Kagawa, Rooney and Welbeck and use Vanpersie as sole striker and with emergence of young talents such as Januzaj they can try to utilize him not still forgetting likes of Nani and young.

I am convinced this formation can help the club to score many goals, by using Kagawa, Rooney and welbeck rampaging and continuously pressurizing it can really confuse the opponent defenders ,through this they will not only help to score but also the defenders will be unable to mark Vanpersie

How would life be without football?

Have you ever thought of this? football as what is loved most all over the world,i try to think about this, how would life be without it? i think life  would be bored tireless and even people would feel no need of existing.

 Now English Premier League is back again with tight race between English giants likes of Manchester, Chelsea,Liverpool, Manchester city and strong emerging clubs in the premier.

Football relieves someone after day full of stress also it  plays a vital role in strengthening people from diverse background. I think people who are in relationship appreciate the importance of football in the world after  hiccups here and there between them football act as neutralizer how would it be if their is no football?

This issue took me to research in my own country how fans are filled with enthusiasm togetherness and exposure when they are celebrating their teams starting with the most loved league English premier League.

How would it be to leave in a place where their is no critics when your club is denied a penalty? or  celebration which are there when your club scores? i now know you are thinking the goal that Van Persie scored against Aston villa to reclaim their 20th title , no worry maybe Hazard when he scored against United this happiness is what many fans will never like to miss in their lives.

On 26th August United faces Chelsea when Manchester are starting their life without sir Alex, they started good in this race but with thrill match against Chelsea it will be litmus test for David Moyes. Chelsea with their experienced coach of mind game will be in a position to show his experience.

Manchester have to accept  Sir Alex Ferguson has gone and they must  move on they shown against Swansea the question is will they be in a position to battle in triumph against  Chelsea?

How then will be our night be without such tough games which increases temperatures all over the world?

Lastly from every wound their is a scar and in that scar their is a story and today Manchester have the scar that was left by Chelsea in FA elimination stages and now they have a great story and a great story is tonight have fan enjoy the game
