We welcome the move by the Committee’s Chairman Adnan Keynan to get to the bottom of the matter by summoning everybody who might be in a position to throw more light over the crisis with a view to resolving key issues surrounding the ship and its cargo. Among those the Committee intends to…

If you are a customer at KSB, you will admit that I have been using the word “Odiangabuks” for quite some time now. However, some readers have now decided to go “that extra mile” by combing up the word in dictionaries while others have been trying to google it in a desperate bid to establish the word’s meaning or legitimacy. When they failed, some of them gave up and sent me mail seeking for any information about the word. What I would say is that it is not an English word. I picked it from my Uncle when I was…

The family member said that by the time the…

Whoever said that Kenya-Stockholm is a complicated arena may have been right. In a case that has stunned a cross section of the community, Kenyans who have been waiting patiently to attend a wedding that was held last Saturday were strategically excluded from the function because they were considered Odiangabuks. If you are new inna-de area, Odiangabuks are ordinary and worthless people, sometimes considered uncouth and unworthy of attention. They are the kind of people whom President Mwai Kibaki could call Mavi ya kuku (Chicken shit) or pumbaf. A few weeks before the wedding, the lucky couple and their friends…
