Banditry has plagued the Kerio Valley region for nearly a century, dating back to 1901. The entrenched practices of violence and lawlessness in this area must be addressed and eradicated. Dr. Albert Kosachei rightly emphasizes the importance of providing the people of Kerio Valley, particularly those in Elgeyo Marakwet, with the support and resources they need to thrive. It is imperative that we recognize the people of this region as integral members of our country who deserve the best that society has to offer. One of the key solutions proposed by Dr. Kosachei is the implementation of education and Christianity in double measure. This approach is crucial in changing the mindset and behavior of the residents of Kerio Valley, particularly in areas like Tiaty where generations have been trapped in a cycle of violence and ignorance. By introducing formal education and moral guidance through Christianity, we can begin to break the cycle of banditry and create a more peaceful an...

The story of Thomas Fuller is disturbing as it is enlightening. What if he had been given a chance? Nicknamed the “Virginia Calculator”, Fuller was sold by a greedy African chief and arrived in Alexandria, Virginia in 1724, at the age of 14, to work the plantations. And to raise eyebrows. Historians have long debated where he was born, with some saying he was picked somewhere in Kasewe in Present day Nyasore school while yet others insisted he was from Central Africa, before a final determination was made that he was born somewhere in present day Liberia or Benin in West Africa. The property of Mrs. Elizabeth Cox, Fuller carried with him from Africa a rare brain that became the talk of the Western world. With no formal education at all, Fuller was an early walking calculator and algorithm, before the advent of the commercial calculator in 1886.

The sudden and tragic death of Chief of Defence Forces Gen Francis Ogolla in a helicopter crash has left a void in the leadership of the Kenyan military. However, officials have moved swiftly to ensure that there is no vacuum in the military hierarchy. The Vice Chief of Defence Forces Lt Gen Charles Muriu Kahariri has been appointed to act as the Chief of Defence Forces until a substantive appointment is made. Retired Gen Daudi Tonje emphasized that there is a clear chain of command in place in the event of such a tragedy. The Vice Chief of Defence Forces is the natural choice to step in and take over the responsibilities of the Chief of Defence Forces in the interim.

When a soldier wears his uniform, it is to signify his willingness to perform his duties undeterred.  The pride of any military officer/serviceman is to serve his country with distinction, honour and fidelity. A famous quote in military circles goes “No man is a man until he has been a soldier.” That is the story of Lieutenant General Francis Omondi Ogolla who rose to the rank of Lt Gen and was appointed Vice Chief of the Defence Forces on 23 July 2021. The Tonje Rules, which were implemented by former Chief of Staff General Daudi Tonje, established a rotation system that ensures equal opportunities for the three branches of the Kenya Defence Forces: Army, Navy, and Air Force to lead the military. Therefore, the President was obligated to select the next CDF from the Kenya Air Force, as General Kibochi, the outgoing CDF, was from the Army and succeeded General Mwathethe from the Navy. This rotation system allows for a fair and balanc...

In her reflections on the role of money in our lives, Hon.Millie Mabona emphasizes the importance of not placing too much emphasis on wealth as a source of happiness. She acknowledges the practical necessity of money for meeting basic needs such as shelter, food, and medical care, but cautions against equating financial success with personal fulfillment. Mabona highlights the paradox of individuals who may appear to lead luxurious lives on social media, yet feel empty inside. She suggests that true contentment and happiness cannot be bought with money, and that there are many people who possess wealth but remain unhappy. Conversely, there are those who have little material wealth but find joy and satisfaction in other aspects of their lives. Drawing on the wisdom of Proverbs 30: 7-9, Mabona expresses a desire for a balanced approach to wealth, asking for "only my daily bread" and neither poverty nor riches. She recognizes the potential pitfalls of both extreme w...

As received, Benjamin Rotich, the bursar of Kapkesosio Secondary School, was reportedly hit by Governor Barchok and rushed to Longisa Referral Hospital. Our thoughts are with him and we wish him a speedy recovery. However, it is concerning that the governor attempted to cover up the incident.

In a recent Facebook post by Mithamo Muchiri , he shared his experience of being added to a WhatsApp group for a pre-wedding event where members were contributing towards the celebration. Muchiri found himself silently observing as the contributions kept increasing, with a total of 245K already paid and 350K pledged.

                              Image: Jacob Aliet Facebook  SIGOR BOYS VIDEO A Society Tearing at the Seams I watched that video with dread as something slithered in my belly. As the girl cried, I was filled with dread and bile rose up my throat. At first, I thought I was looking at gay men, only to realize a girl had been sandwiched between two dusty, skinny boys/men. Now, we are a sick, sick society.  Boys can fantasize about such and even some women on X said they did not feel revulsion towards the video. Many people fantasize about sick things.  However, we know what is wrong and what is not. We have to know what is not acceptable. We have to be able to recognize human pain and suffering. We have to know what is illegal and criminal. That’s the difference between a normal person and a psychopath.  To enact your sick thoughts, especially where they involve violating other people,...
