Rwanda’s upcoming presidential elections has cast a spotlight on its democratic credentials, with observers warning that allegations of intimidation of opposition leaders could mar the process.

Wishful thinkers, chewing the proverbial meat of contentment, have been head over heels on blogosphere and e-groups with a somewhat mundane argument, that President Mwai Kibaki won the 2007 elections.

Though coming rather late in the day, we applaud President Mwai Kibaki’s decisive action on the scandal plaguing Nairobi City Council.

Kenyans voted for Mwai Kibaki and his NARC brigade in 2002 because they promised to deliver a new constitution in 100 days of power, and to clamp down hard on the monster of corruption.

Sovereignty means government freedom from external control. It can also be interpreted as dominion of a monarch. At a personal level, it is the liberty to decide one’s thoughts or actions without external coercion, or interference

Talk of Sodom and Gomorrah, the coalition government in Kenya is it. People think with their stomachs, spin issues very dear to the common man, and strangle their livelihood.

From Mutahi Ngunyi’s last piece, it is easy to tell why he takes Kenya for granted. By his own assertion; Kenya is Ngunyi, his woman and children!

Getting Kadhi’s courts out of the constitution is critical. This will not only ensure justice, but also align well with the provision that Kenya is a secular state.

I was elated when the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC), on constitution review meeting in Naivasha settled for the pure presidential system, which separates and diffuses power across strong institutions and between politicians and professionals in a nationally stabilising way.

There is this salient feature surrounding the existence of the media, especially the newspaper. Many roles aside, a newspaper ought to be the source for disseminating social commentary.

I trust this finds you well. Probably you just got out of a steam bath, or a sauna, but that does not bother me, right now.

Although there has been virtually no mention of this effort in the American media, there is currently an effort to delay justice in Kenya after the horrific aftermath of the presidential elections of December 2007.
