Kenyans living abroad are said to number over 3 million which translates to about 2.5 million eligible voters minus the voters who maybe underage. This is a population of voters which cannot be easily ignored now that the New Constitution requires the winning presidential candidate to garner at least 50% of the total votes cast. A visit by the IIBEC Management to various areas in the diaspora concluded that Kenyans living abroad will vote for presidential candidate only, meaning the candidate has numbers depending with how he/she sells his/her ideologies and policies to this crucial vote rich population. Being the first time ever in Kenyan politics, these votes are crucial to any presidential candidate and also for determining who our next leader is. Transparency and fairness will be needed to guarantee that come the voting day, honesty is upheld and that no rigging or any kind of manipulation of results is witnessed. IIBEC need to communicate confidence to the public that the proce...

The state of things in our beloved country Kenya has left many to wonder if really we have a leadership concerned about the welfare of the people they serve and represent. Tragedies befalling us would have been avoided if only the leadership was sincere in their call to serve. The leadership approach exercised is one that seems to have failed and which is achieving so little. It has been witnessed in the past and even now that our leaders have time and again perfected in lies when making their comments in regard to an incidence that has happened. This has made little to be achieved in terms of rebuilding the lives of the victims and their families. It has been false hope after another that we shall do this, implement that, pursue it among other comments. What amazes me is that their minds are so narrowed forgetting that they have been recorded and an archive of their comments is available only later to disown whatever they said. Lying is when a person makes a statement that he knows ...

Politics is a science and also an art. All the people involved in it are to understand the fundamentals within it. In Kenya, former President Moi used to say “Siasa mbaya, maisha mbaya” whereby bad politics leads to bad life. Unlike in business where what matters most is the bottom line that is are you making profits or loss; politics is about service that is the aspect of human contact. Business you make decisions in politics you make the right decisions but have to bring people along to believe in your decisions that you are proposing. Quoting Simon Thompson, Lastminute.com Chief Marketing Officer, he says “Leadership is about people. Management is about output. You will be respected based on successful leadership, you will be promoted based on successful management.” Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell says about leadership as the art of accomplishing more than what the science of management says is possible. In leadership what needs to be understood is that there are goi...

Ever found yourself between a rock and a hard place in regard to telling the truth? Have you ever been compelled to lie to rescue yourself from a situation? In parenting, have you ever told your child one thing yet knowingly you know you meant the opposite and different thing? Did you, will searching for a job make some lies in your cv? Well this and many more other questions that we may ask ourselves puts us in a place where one’s personal integrity is tested. Communication is said to be that activity that we engage in consciously or subconsciously. Truth on its part needs to be communicated at all times by all. Many are the times that both believers and non-believers had to lie in one way or the other in order to accomplish a certain mission that they set out to do. Easton’s Bible dictionary defines lie as an intentional violation of the truth which is emphatically condemned in Scriptures (John 8:44, 1st Timothy 1:9-10, Rev. 21:27). Mention is made of the lies told by good men in...

As you think back over your life, who has had the greatest impact on your life? Was it your father, or about your mother, maybe someone you are working with, was it your pastor or your teacher? But somebody has impacted your life infact a lot of people have impacted your life. Your character, your conversation, your conduct have all been somehow and someway been impacted by the people around you or somebody who has contributed something over your life. When you think about that, who are you impacting by your life? There is a difference between an impression and an impact. Many people love to be impressed and many people love to impress others. They spent a lot of money doing that for example by the way they dress, and what they drive, where they live and where they work and their education; all these things some people do use to impress other people and they love to talk about it and those of us who hear them do not love to listen very long because of simple reason we know they are tr...

Kenyan market has been invaded by an influx of counterfeit goods which is killing the manufacturers business. Counterfeit products have dominated most of our stores making it difficult to distinguish between them. The influx of counterfeit goods has been supported by gullible and corrupt business people who do not care about their consumers. Government’s commitment in fighting this war is cold making it possible for these so called business people to continue thriving at the expense of the others. This is pure exploitation of naïve consumers who have continually been victims. Weak anti-counterfeit market regulation has continued to bedevil the country impacting negatively on the manufacturers. The move by Nokia to establish a mechanism whereby buyers can validate if they are buying original product is welcomed and one which will go a long way saving many from fraudsters.
