The ongoing debate whether the nominated CJ Dr. Willy Mutunga should be allowed to take over or not will clearly divide the nation apart. During the referendum vote on the proposed new constitution, the nation was once again put in this scenario of one group supporting it and the other rejecting it. Like any other man on earth, we as beings are not perfect and we all have our shortcomings. There is great suspicion that Dr. Mutunga will not be able to deliver because of the morality issues that is attached to his studs and that the clergy are not comfortable with him as the chair of Judiciary an arm of the government.

The hiring process has to be borne in mind of how transparent manner it was, hence it was a credible decision and choice made by the Judicial Serv...

One of the most significant, and difficult, tasks that the implementation of the new constitution faces is to change the mood of Kenyans who we were so used to the old constitution. Now that we have the new constitution with us and that several reforms are to take place, we as a people need a leader who will inspire us to that direction. No doubt there exists a leadership vacuum in regard to who is driving the implementation train. Divisions and wrangling has been experienced in the recent past leaving the implementation schedule fall way behind intended time schedule. In a couple of months we will usher in 2012 a year that Kenya goes back to elections and if real reforms are not in place then there is a growing fear that what happened in 2007 will be experienced again. Unless one stands up and shows the commitment towards driving the reform agenda then responsible leadership would have been lost. It will be morally wrong for our leaders to be in the offices yet they do not want to p...

Human beings thirst for satisfaction never ends and the cycle affects everyone of us irrespective of our ages. The youth in our society form a potential market target for manufacturers of various products in our stores. Majority of product advertisers try to lure the youth into buying their products which is done with an effort to win acceptability by these group.

News about the death of Al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden spread so fast across the world with millions of people getting it within the shortest time possible. This truly attests to the assertion that in our modern technological age information travels at the speed of light around the world. Being religious, I asked myself a question in regard to who should take credit for his death or was the US right to claim that they were responsible for his death. After his death, US President Barack Obama went ahead and gave a press conference in confirmation of Osama’s death after being America’s number one enemy for years now and the fight to kill him was now over. Osama’s death was met with a sigh of relief by many hurting victims of his terrorists attacks especially the 9/11.
