On behalf of KSB, I take this opportunity to wish all our esteemed readers a Happy and Prosperous New Year. It has been a hectic year, full of activities and events. There have been negative and positive stories at the blog site while the year also witnessed the opening of KSB’s comment section so that readers could air their views and interact in debate. In 2009, the agenda is to expand KSB in ways that cannot be revealed here.
Most importantly, I wish to thank all KSB agents who have been “working round the clock” to bring the inside edition to readers. I regret that not all reports could be published because of circumstances. All in all, KSB spies did a fantastic job in keeping the blog site active and I hope that the trend will continue in 2009.
The view of KSB is that the blog site ought to be developed to inform and build the Kenya-Stockholm community. I must also thank all readers who have sent private messages to encourage KSB or to appreciate the huge amount of work involved for the sake of Kenya-Stockholmers.
Running a blog of this nature is not easy unless one has a special reason. Our commitment is to enable Wakenya keep abreast of what is happening around and this mission should be fairly acceptable. Because of time factor, the year’s review will continue during the first week of January. It is important that this summery be rendered so as to jog the minds of our readers about the ups and downs of Kenyan Stockholm during 2008.
I can promise that KSB will be there to continue with business in 2009. Bring the stories and sit back and watch as they hit the headlines in 2009. May all readers have fulfillment and satisfaction in 2009. Take it easy during the year and remember that life is short so enjoy it!

About the Author
Thanks Osewe for opening up the comments section at KSB. This has proven to Kenya-Stockholmers that mature debate does not have to include name calling and unnecessary insults that we have witnessed at other Kenya-Stockholm blogs.
KSB has raised the bar by showcasing valid arguments to counter sub-standard arguments. Happy New Year to you and your esteemed readers.
The comment section is the heart of KSB as noted. Osewe, keep up the high standards and hope that 2009 will be more productive.
For me, KSB is the best blog in Scandinavia which captures real issues intellectually.
KSB is KING and for 2009, issues should be even more sentational and analytical. Kudos to you Osewe, for keeping us enlightened.
Osewe:
Thumbs up for keeping us informed and entertained with stories that even when opposed by critics, turn out to be true. KSB is “numero uno” in providing Kenyan information.
KSB leads and others follow.
Hata wapinge, waonyeshe unafiki na wivu, blogu ya KSB imeonyesha uongozi katika habari kati ya WaKenya mjini Stockholm mwaka huu wa 2008.
Ndugu Osewe, endelea hivyo hivyo katika mwaka mpya wa 2009.
KSB: Thanks for allowing comments from readers. It’s a good indicator of democracy.
As you noted earlier Osewe, opening up the comment section which your critics called for, has proven to be a nightmare for the “culprits” and yet a savior for the “innocent Kenyans” because readers can now judge from the stories.
Happy New Year Osewe and hope that KSB will keep rocking in 2009.
Osewe you must be having an eagle’s vision if you can already foresee how you will look like on December 31st 2009. Respect
KSB: Thanks Byayo. It was a typo that has since been fixed. What time did you leave the Party? I hope this time you have your jacket. Happy New Year.

KSB: Ndugu Mberi: Nilikua Märsta ambapo kulikuweko na sherehe kubwa ya new year. Watu zaidi ya mia moja wali hudhuria na sherehe ili kuwa bora kabisa. Update soft ware yako kwa sababu afisa wa KSB wa kusokota maneno washapata njia ya kuingia ndani ya mitambo tafauti tafatui baada ya kupata akili nyingi nyingi kutoka kwa wajuaji wa KGB. Sasa hivi tuna jua ya kuamba uko na mikebe kadhaa ya maji kali inayo chemsha ubongo ndani ya mtambo yako ya kuifadhi msosi. Hiyo picha ya Kinyua ilipatikana kwa njia ya kuteka nyara kinasa sauti ikipitia upeponi ndani yake kompituta na ujuzi zingine za hali ya juu ambalo haziwezi kamwe kuelezwa adharani kupitia Intaneti. Hapi Neu Yia!
Bwana,Okoth Osewe,having incepted the KSB comments sections was/is in itself a milstone….its here that wakenya can draw,mudsling,parry,cajole,heckle,console,love,hate……the list goes on and on…without any physical confrontation, and its here wakenya can be judge and jury with or without prejudice…and the best of all ,this is the forum that keeps our HARD EARNED KENYAN TAX MONEY wasting MPs who travel abroad and DIPLOMATS(eg PURITY) at check.I hope this year will be the begining of HOPE POLITICALLY to all KENYANS around the world.Bwana Osewe keep up the spirit……..
