I have met the guy. He's just a self-admiring political sapeur

A respectable columnist should not be glorifying tribal voting. Thats why Macharia Gaitho is far more respectable in the eyes of the general public. That man is no tribal sycophant. He calls it as it is. And now we know why Ngunyi is so militant in his support for Jubilee. At first I thought it was just blind tribal allegiance. Kumbe this man is thoroughly compromised and corrupted.

So which university gave him the Professorial appointment?

and it came to pass. they dismissed him as tribal, now they are in their villages asking people to register in large numbers. Who knows what else is on his mind this time round.

You are speaking tooo mash egrish for these people. If raira says it its evil...if mutahi says it, he has a degree.

some of these fellows forget Hitler was very learned. Actually wrote a book that is actually great literature.

Masomo has never removed upumbavu.

That thing called tribe is what makes Kenya whether you like it or not.

I have said it here b4. Race, tribe, caste, religion etc define man. Elsewhere, they talk of evangelists, latinos, conservatism bla bla bla

Tribal voting is what makes Kenya a black hole. No problems are solved because leaders are elected based on tribe regardless of how incompetent or corrupt they are. No matter how many corruption scandals a leader presides over, he can always hide behind his tribe.

Visiting Research Fellow is such a junior nondescript post not equivalent to professor. It is an equivalent of lecturer. There is a difference between lecturer and professor. Important to note that there is no record of PhD. Professor comes with brains and thought. Not plagiarism especially in the developed world. University of Leeds is very respectable and cannot have such a charlatan as professor... Pengine Mt Kenya, Inorero or Kingeero

Why urgue between a visiting andnot visiting professor or PHD holder and not? The difference is what one does with his degree doctorate or whatever.I compare this with people majuu who always yell there are non immigrants without papers coming to live in US or Europe ama Asia and yet they work while some citizens of these same countries are jobless, i have seen this in the hotel industry.So in that case, it does not matter whether you have the papers (that "valuable passport") or not its what you do with it.

Isnt there a story going round about The UN Habitat guy calling Nairobi planners people who do not think , yet the leader is a doctor , the question is what he has done with his doctorate.

Actually you know what? I did not know University of Leeds would have a research fellow in campus to offer lectures yet he could be worse than the students...But leave that to this guy Mutahi he can pull off anything.

But since you are very interested in that paper called PHD, have you heard of Dr, Savai Life is what you make it, papers are just that..

@hindsight keep dreaming. Man naturally sticks with on his own likeness. The same way yor kids come first, its an innate survival instinct. But dont worry it might take a lifetime for you to note that.[/quote]

@murchr ,I may dream,but we are reminded all our dreams are valid if we make the right choices.

What your comments alludes to is that you would like the status quo to exist.Why continue retrogressively because of crowd thinking and conforming to what you know deeply is wrong.

Your school of thoughts works for sometime but when push comes to shove ,it becomes history and case studies for future leaders. You don't have to look further than our own history locally and elsewhere;

Colonialists brain washed us for sometime; however progressive Africans (Kenyatta,Dedan Kimanthi,Eliud Mathu etc),changed the status quo and Kenya attained independence earlier-post independence is a different ball game all together.

Slavery & racial discrimination in US was perpetuated for long, but the likes of Martin Luther King,Jesse Jackson..Rosa parks were agents of change.

Hence..the logic of own self preservation through your tribe/clan/region can fool people for some time but not all the time.

So that kind of thoughts (Though in reality is the norm-very sad) makes the society stagnate and mess a bright future for our kids.
