Image
This morning was a moment for Kenya to be presented before God in what is commonly known as National Prayer Breakfast. The theme for today was 'Hope', that the nation hopes for a positive and bright future that of stability, peace and ensuring a conducive environment for thriving of many aspects, businesses key among them. Not long ago, was the Country's head in the US following an invitation from the longest-serving American politician turned president of the United States. It was a celebration marking 60 years of the cordial relationship that is a close friendship ranging from the 1960s to the present. That visit came with much criticism especially on the part of public resources specifically the part on Kenyans as the taxpayers as it was alleged that the cost of hiring the Dubai-based Royal jet was approximately 200 million. The president today has stated the facts by saying the following. "I have the country's best interests at heart, I initially asked my peopl...

Duale To Politicians- No Ferrying You Anymore

Image
It is always a JKL show every Wednesday evening on Citizen TV. It is a renowned show for the simple reason of inviting influential and key guests to discuss hot and trending topics that leave viewers glued and intrigued into wanting to know more about the real events on the ground. Yesterday panellist was a decorated politician turned minister of defence who is also a close ally of the Head of State, Aden Duale. The moderator, who by the way, is represented by the acronym of the show, Jeff Koinange, is Kenya’s celebrated journalist with vast experience spanning years in the sector. Back to the root of the topic, where concerned secretary, upon discussion and final deliberations with Jeff, happened to disclose a serious takeaway note touching on politicians. According to the minister, military choppers will be far from the reach of politicians, this is what he said. “Jeff, it will no longer be as usual, we are not going to carry politicians on our choppers going forward, and military re...

Duale Gives Insight Into Wrangles Between The DP and The Head of State

Image
Jeff Koinange did not call the show to its finality without 'poking holes' into recent 'house wrangles' within the governing party. His long-term panellist and friend, the Defense Secretary and former majority leader in the National Assembly, Aden Duale, was present to give insight into various events, specifically goodies from the US and the recent growing differences within his party leading to yesterday's knock on Kenya’s greatest media empire. For most of this article, I will focus on the tension within the UDA party and as for goodies from the US, we all know what 'POTUS' (President of the United States) gave us 16 military choppers, 150 armoured military vehicles, and goodies like development money for roads and prisons. Back to the root of the article, yesterday was the moment for every Kenyan to know for sure if there was a split within the ruling party, for we know that Duale is not merely the minister but also a close ally to the head of state, and...

They Have Themselves To Blame, Gareth Unveils England Squad While Leaving Out 3 Key English Players

Image
With the announcement of a daring and thrilling preliminary England squad for the European Championship, Gareth Southgate has embraced the future and moved on from his past. Raheem Sterling's international career has just been ordered to end, while Jordan Henderson is likely gone forever. Even while such omissions were anticipated, Marcus Rashford's absence has shocked English football. Despite having a terrible season for Manchester United, Erik ten Hag has largely kept Rashford as a regular starter. However, Southgate has not spared the striker, punishing him for his startling decline in performance this year and offering this meek defence: "I just feel other players in that area of the game have had better seasons." That concludes it. Attacking options abound for Southgate, as Jarrod Bowen and Anthony Gordon both deserve to be in the starting lineup at Rashford's cost. Along with recalling the brilliant Eberechi Eze, the coach also unexpectedly called up Adam W...
