Fundaah....in the english dictionary,youthful does not mean bright.......Let Raila stand on his own two feet and he will have the support of even the most die hard anti-Railas.....Maybe this is the time he will come to realise that issue driven politics is what will catapult him to the presidency after many years of being led by some childlike war mongers like the Mau thieves.....

Ruto and his henchmen (Read Mbugua and Kuttuny et al) should let the PM and brother John safeguard our Mau.

From more than 10% forest cover at indipendece to less than 3% right now,we must be doing very poorly on that front. I believe,as Skerians we can be part of the solution,why doesnt each one of us,make an effort of planting at least one tree in a month. I have planted ten trees since the year began (but am no saying we have done ten months this year!!) Not much effortbut its worth it. Mau is our resource and should be protected at all costs.

Litro ...I would have joined you ....but dont own a feet of any land..all has been grabbed.... if planting a tree kwa jirani was allowed ...i would start this weekend....

Rules of the game here:

Before you post anything think.give facts only..It's a serious blog for serious people....Do not insult your brother....respect one another...Just be good

All these bold stands on such issues as well as the new found comradeship between Raila and Kibaki has much to do with the visit of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Kenya next week.

The African visit for the Secretary of State is anchored in Kenya and will highlight Kenya's progress from the post-election debacle. A condition from Mr. Obama,in putting Kenya on the spotlight with this visit,was that the two principles must reflect the sentiments that Kenya is moving forward,and dealing with its political,environmental,business and social issues in a responsible manner.

Mr. Obama has a lot of confidence in Raila,and fortunately,has a better understanding of the tribe-based bickering and maligning popular in Kenya.

This is Raila yet again,sacrificing political power for the welfare of Kenyas. Something difficult for some people - not all - to see through the mist up the mountains except when it is a life and death situation,then they praise Raila.

@ Professor,

The ultimate skill of speech or writing ( communicating) lies in knowing what to say. When you have known what to say,the next most important skill is knowing when to stop talking or writing.

Read through your paragraphs again. You need not say some things. Let me say it-nobody here is praising Raila. Most of us are just in agreement and would give full support (if needed) with his stand point on the Mau forest issue and other issues prior to this one. Get rid of your fetish....at least when you write.


Everyday!
