WHO PULLED THE TRIGGAR?

-


The country moarns. Communities grief and a national morning day declared. Children remain orphans and young ladies become widows all over sudden. People perceive dark days ahead. But man is so airheaded, amnemonic and amnesic. These are some Kenyan Great personalities who died by gun and justice has gone unserved to date.

1. THOMAS JOSEPH MBOYA
Its a Saturday, the 5th day of July 1969. Just 6 years after the country gains self governance. An icon, a bright Kenyan, Kenyan trade unionist, educationist, Pan Africanist, author, independence activist, Cabinet Minister is short dead by alleged one Nahashon Isaac Njenga Njoroge who disappeared thereafter. It intensified ethnic rivalry in the 90s but here we are now. Nobody to ask who exactly was the "big man" Njoroge talked about.



2. GEORGE MUCHAI
Just two years after being elected as the Member of parliament for Kabete, the body of Muchai was found dead inside his car together with his two bodyguards and a driver along Kenyatta Avenue on February 7, 2015. Four suspects were under question but to date, nobody has been charged over the death of the legislator As 'investigation continues'.



3.JACOB JUMA
The man who shot the Nairobi business man six times on the night of 25th May 2016 has never been identified. Its mystery after mystery. Several suspects have been questioned but none arrained in the court of law to face justice.


4. DR ODHIAMBO MBAI
Dr Chrispine Odhiambo Mbai was a brilliant lecturer, a father of devolution and a researcher that our country would need to date. But where is he? His life was taken away by unknown gunmen in September 2003. Suspects have been acquitted and he is gone and forgotten.


This is just a short list of great men in our country that left us in the hands of gunmen. They lenththen the long list of unresolved murders in our country. Joining Robert Ouko, J M Kariuki, Willy Kimani and most recently Chris Musando. When pepple remember they weep but again remain puzzled.  They continue to ask, Who pulled the triggar?

REIMBURSEMENT IN CAMPUS   LEADERSHIP If one wants to utilize fully the campus opportunities and resources legally and illegally, getting into campus leadership is always the easiest preference. Campus leadership has seemed to become very vital especially to the politicians, their tribesmen and to the University Administration. At least every campus administration has an influence in student elections so that the status quo in the Administration can be maintained. Besides that, the student leaders who risk all their resources and their lives during the campaigns always have a reason to smile when they get to power. First, they make sure that all the wealth they used for campaigns are reacquired. This is done by making proposals for projects which never take place eventually. A security director proposes for a security awareness project of 300 k but uses only 50 k and pockets the rest. In some University since time immemorial, the secretary generals have always used the Students Org

EAST AFRICAN COMMUNITY ; A MANQUÉ COOPERATION Regional cooperation is vital for any country’s social, economic and political development. It accelerates economic progress and cultural development and provides all the individuals with the opportunity to live in dignity and to realize their full potential. Having an inter territorial cooperation between Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika protectorates was always a dream of the British as early as 1917. It kicked off by formation of the East African High Commission (EAHC) which later evolved into East African Common Services Organization (EACSO). The organization was concerned with the provision of common services such as customs union, currency, postal services, communication, research and Education. In 1967 after the attainment of independence of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, the East African community was formed to continue with the roles of EACSO. At this time, an East African Federation was also anticipated. The main aim of the EAC was to wi
