I am of the view that some sections of the mainstream media in Kenya should consider reviewing their Editorial policies and procedures. some even reported that an agreement was to be signed in Bujumbura Burundi. For in him (Jesus) we live and move and have our being-Acts 17:28

How smart people read The Star still baffles me. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

The Economist this week
describes the intensifying
suffering of 75 million Iranian
citizens as a result of the
sanctions regime being
imposed on them by the US
and its allies [my emphasis]:
"Six years ago, when
America and Europe
were putting in place the
first raft of measures to
press Iran to come clean
over its nuclear
ambitions, the talk was
of "smart" sanctions.
The West, it was
stressed, had no quarrel
with the Iranian people
—only with a regime
that seemed bent on
getting a nuclear bomb,
or at least the capacity
for making one. Yet, as
sanctions have become
increasingly punitive in
the face of Iran's
intransigence, it is
ordinary Iranians who
are paying the price.
"On October 1st and
2nd Iran's rial lost more
than 25% of its value
against the dollar. Since
the end of last year it
has depreciated by over
80%, most of that in just
the past month. Despite
subsidies intended to
help the poor, prices for
staples, such as milk,
bread, rice, yogurt and
vegetables, have at least
doubled since the
beginning of the year.
Chicken has become so
scarce that when scant
supplies become
available they prompt
riots. On October 3rd
police in Tehran fired
tear-gas at people
demonstrating over the
rial's collapse. The city's
main bazaar closed
because of the
impossibility of quoting
accurate prices. . . .
"Unemployment is
thought to be around
three times higher than
the official rate of 12%,
and millions of unskilled
factory workers are on
wages well below the
official poverty line of
10m rials (about $300) a
month." This is CRAP!!!!

Do you know what those travel advisories issued by the US do to hotel bookings at the coast? They plummet. Because in addition to fear, travel costs for instance travel insurance increases...airlines, ships suspend flights. Europeans and Americans on budget holidays look at alternative and cheaper destinations (rich Euros hang out in Tahiti, French Riviera and St Tropez etc etc) ...when bookings are low, the seasonal hospitality workforce is cut loose, people strain to make ends meet.
And these are just travel advisories. With sanctions, take this effect, multiply it by orders of magnitude and then apply it across a huge swathe of our economy. This is one possible reality that we could be staring at.
Look at your pocket and then please ask yourself rationally if your choice of candidate has the potential outcome of making it suffer. It is only a shortsighted person who cant see that a depressed economy affects EVERYONE, but the worst hit are the poor and middleclass families.
