You can’t afford to miss this hilarious, uncommon, no-holds-barred but magnanimous counsel by our very own, occasional resident uncertified marriage counsellor, Charles Maina. viewpoints.ke/the-bold-and-t… 2/2

Are you still single, in your mid-thirties, and wondering when you will get a “serious” man who can propose to you, marry you, start a family with and live happily ever after with? 1/2

The values espoused by Ruto & his newly appointed running mate, Rigathi Gachagua, are so aligned it is uncanny. And so are the trajectories of their political careers from student leadership to the very top. Does the Ruto-Gachagua ticket represent the past or the future? 1/2

Elected leaders in local & national assemblies steward enormous amounts of revenue & make legislation. Society requires representatives that are adequately trained & have the capacity to carefully scrutinize and interrogate complex policy, legislative and budget proposals. 2/3

Considering that the key roles of elected political leaders are representation and oversight, it is defeatist to trivialize the role of higher education levels and the competence of such leaders in undertaking these critical functions. 1/3

Principled, a human rights defender, a true patriot and one who will not walk away from a just fight, Martha Karua has spent her adult life fighting for the rights of ordinary Kenyans and the well-being of the country; her nomination as Raila’s running mate is well deserved 1/2

From remedial/extra classes to packed lessons, teachers are after ‘completion of the syllabus’, a euphemism for meeting performance targets. The children are the unwitting slaves of the mean score and the teachers’ career progression. 4/4 viewpoints.ke/unfeeling-scie…

The Ministry of Education is the sick man of Kenya’s public service. At the core of this system is a pulsating heart of positivist policies, regulations, directives and orders that are the source of this tumorous growth. 3/4

If we dig deeper, we shall realize that this is not just about poor parenting. It is a systemic issue that we must deal with if we are to successfully address the problem. 2/4

The burning of schools by students is upon us again. As everyone shares their two cents on the cause, we are failing to move beyond the manifestation to the cause. 1/4

The deleterious effect of the pervasive corruption in Kenya has been a crop of lazy national brood who believe corruption is as good a career as being a doctor or engineer. 3/3 #CORRUPTION viewpoints.ke/forget-lustrou…

It is corruption that renames Afya to Mafya and turns Kimwarer into a metonym for grand corruption. Our model of a society that eats itself and its own is what we urgently need to dismantle. 2/3 #CORRUPTION

If there is a model that obtains in this nation, it is a model of corruption and cartelism. It is cartels who render Kenya Power powerless, literally, make coffee, tea, sugar, maize, chicken and farming in general, unprofitable for the farmer. 1/3 #CORRUPTION

It is so far not clear who exactly is behind the smear campaign against Centum. It is likely that the attacks are coming from shadowy business interests, including some of the investors interested in a hostile succession and takeover. 3/3 viewpoints.ke/centums-mworia… @Alexandre_USB

Earlier this week, a bitter epistle said to have been penned by former employees of Centum Investment Company, Kirubi’s flagship and one of the best paying investments at the Nairobi Securities Exchange, appeared on Cyprian Nyakundi’s blog. 2/3

The late Chris Kirubi’s multi-billion shilling empire under attack as shadowy forces target key managers with explosive and defamatory blog articles as the empire is marinated in preparation for what is likely to be a hostile takeover bid. 1/3

Until we understand the emotional and psychological issues around teenage and how sex is used by girls to negotiate them, we will go on flapping around like headless chickens, blaming lack of sex education, pornography and boda boda fellows. Read more: 3/3 viewpoints.ke/it-will-take-m…
