Thoughts From Wakenya

 Najivunia kuwa mkenya – this is because Kenya is a very special and unique country.  Many things that happen in Kenya have never been witnessed anywhere else in the world. Sample this: Kenya is probably the only country which insists on being called a democracy while it definitely isn't. Kenya is probably the only country in the world whose Electoral Commission boss declares that he doesn't know who won in the presidential race – yet statehouse continues to be occupied. It must only be in Kenya where he that wins in two provinces defeats he that wins in six provinces…

My heart bleeds today when I read and hear what is happening in our beloved country Kenya.  Kenya as we have all known, has been a peaceful country though we have had problems here and there.   Dear Kenyans, it is now a matter of life and death.  Our country is collapsing as we watch.  I appeal to all Kenyans around the world particularly those in Stockholm that  let us forget our tribal differences, join hands together as Kenyans and save our country.   It is not about Raila Odinga, Mwai Kibaki, Daniel arap Moi and other Kenyan leaders. It…

My name is Mercy Gachoka and I am currently studying in Finland. I have been following the current events and the prior happenings that seems to have taken Kenya to the shameful state it is in right now. I was born and grew up in Kenya and that is the only home that I only know. I have therefore decided to speak and come to the rescue of my people who are being misused by the current government because I cannot contain it anymore. I highly condemn the injustice performed against Hon. Raila Odinga by open rigging and the dictatorial…

I would just like to convey my condolences to relatives and friends of the late Juliet Kavinga who was brutally murdered in Sweden.  It is really sad that with all those African friends she had in Sweden nobody adviced her on how to go about getting help for her unborn child even though she was "illegal".  I wish somebody had tried to help her and that she did not  have to live such a stressful life like she did because she seemed like a nice person, according to "her friends" who did nothing to help her.  I was wondering too,…

Mr. Editor, I am not a member of ODM-K Scandinavia but I must say that the Party has done us proud. Through your blog, I follow very much what the Party is up to. I am one of those Kenyans who parted the Party on the back when I read that land that had been grabbed at the Ambassador’s residence had been recovered through campaigns by ODM-K Scandinavia – kudos to the Party’s brilliant leaders. Another score is the acquisition of “Wananchi Pavillion” where the Memorial of the late James wuod Maggero was held. I live in Stockholm but for…

Observations by one Dr. Job Obonyo in cyberspace reflect President Kibaki’s three pillars; (a) TRIBALISM (ethnic favoritism & nepotism), (b) ETHNOCENTRIC RESOURCE ACCUMULATION by all means (i.e. systematic corruption and irregular public assets acquisitions) and (c) a SYCOPHANCY-BASED system of unbounded politics which ensures that party loyalty is transient. The bitter truth - Kibaki is perpetrating extreme tribalism with a bid to promote an ethnic agenda most uninhibited strategically in: FINANCE, EDUCATION and INTERNAL SECURITY, favoring the Mt. Kenya Region—Gikuyu, Meru, Embu (GEMA now called MEGA). FINANCE MINISTRY (Controls Finance, Banking, & Economy in general): Minister - Amos Kimunya -…

Regarding an article published at KSB by Dishon Kinywa who pretends to be in London. As KSB mentioned, you are out to assassinate my character as other rumour mongers in Stockholm. I know all my clients and that name doesn’t ring a bell. This is the last article I will write in response to any accusations. I don’t want to lower my dignity by replying to articles that are not educative or progressive to Kenyans like the one you sent to KSB. In your article, you mentioned that you knew that one day this was going to happen. What has…

To say the least, Mr. Clay Onyango is a fraudster. I was in Stockholm four years ago and Clay did some very nasty (if not fraudulent) things to me personally. I wonder why the Swedish people let someone like him to run a bogus office with the pretence that it's a travel agency. I have no grudge with Clay. But, he should know that God is watching him "na Mungu sio athumani". I have met people in Kenya and the United Kingdom complaining of Clay. What kind of a coincidence is this? I am actually just laughing because I knew that…

I totally agree with what Mr. Clay Onyango posted about forgiveness. Think about this; Funny how the phrase ´´Life is too short`` isn’t taken seriously Until we suddenly lose a dear one….. Funny how we really take life for granted …. Funny how tragedies and deaths are the saddest events ever Yet are always awakening calls to us all to treasure the ones we know, Live peaceably together at all times and in the best way possible. Gone are: Fathers/mothers, husbands/wives, brothers/sisters, friends, Mentors, teachers, peacemakers…. Intellectuals amongst willing learners for true learning experiences, True supporters of good causes, Individuals…
