Guidelines for Citizens’ Direct Action on 1Oth, 11th and 12th December 2008!
Our struggle for people sensitive, responsible and accountable leadership is firmly on! Kenyans are fired up to use their creativity to dramatize and communicate their dissatisfaction to their leaders. December 10th, 11th and 12th remain our days for civil direct action, the days for display of people power!
The White Ribbon Campaign - We Must Now DEMAND Our Rights!!
Members of Parliament have let Kenyans down and have refused to enact a law to tax them as Kenyans demanded. They have abused their power to pass laws and have engaged in breach of trust and self-dealing with a public power. It is now time to act! If Kenya’s Political Class won’t pay their taxes, NO KENYAN SHOULD PAY ANY TAXES ON FOOD, MEDICINE, FUEL OR ELECTRICITY.
Made in Kenya
(A Kingdom is not based on the King or Queen in power but by the local citizens who elect those in power)
They say Kenya is the land of opportunity. We all agree that wherever we go, we always want to come back home. But another thing about Kenyans is that they are sometimes too naive(at [...]
No Way No How No Amnesty
“They lifted me up and put me on the ground. They were arguing amongst themselves who was going to be the first.
Then one said that if I escaped from the knife and arrows, I would die of AIDS. Some of them held my legs and some held my hands while they raped me. When this [...]
MPs Must Pay Taxes
It is not fair that while the poorest Kenyans struggle to pay their taxes patriotically, a select minority of wealthy men and women refuse to do so. As pointed out inn the Daily Nation, it is also illegal. I have taken the liberty to calculate what my MP must pay in taxes. Please call or write to your MP today. They must all pay taxes!
Where Do We Go From Here?
It’s early in the morning in a small village that prides itself as producing the best coffee in the world to quench the thirst of sophisticated executives at Wall Street and Main Street, adrenaline filled corporate lawyers and everyone else in between. A young woman who looks 15 years old wakes up at the crack [...]
A Political Insurgency in Kenya
This week, there’s been a furious argument on a Google group for Kenyan ‘professionals’. The debate resolved around the Waki report and the post-election violence witnessed in Kenya earlier this year. Whilst it is important to talk about these things, as we heal, I was saddened by the nature of this particular debate. The debate got so heated that the group’s moderator had to step in to end the debating. Why? Because the discussion had turned nasty and many people had gone ‘tribal’. A few members even sunk as low as being disrespectful to each other.
The Waki List of Shame
We provide a list of alleged perpetrators, who were mentioned by interviewees as having played a role in the perpetration of the post election violence. The list is not comprehensive and does not present a complete picture of all who may have been involved. It makes mention of various alleged perpetrators and includes some background information on them, and the allegation(s) and information supporting the allegation(s).
Our Own Pandora’s Box - The Waki Report
In Greek mythology, ”Pandora’s box” is the large jar carried by Pandora that contained evils to be unleashed on mankind — ills, toils and sickness — and finally hope.
Adressing the Rot in Kenya - Attitude is a Reflection of Leadership
Business surveys rate attitude as the number one trait for success among leaders. Attitude controls ouractions and our actions determine the results. It seems reasonable to think good leaders would strive to have good attitudes in their people, but when that does not happen, who is responsible?
As leaders, most of us are eager to [...]
