It calls for perfect satisfaction

As 2017 general elections approaches, citizens need to see sustainable development brought by the devolution government in their counties.

Community service at Kapbolburat

Today a fundraising activity was undertaken in aid of building the church at Sitoi AIC former Kabolburat church. The guest of honour Dr Gideon Toromo conducted the function immediately after the service.

Over a hundred thousand shillings was raised during the function through raffles, selling flowers and individual contribution towards the same.

Dr Toromo who stood in place of Mr Cheboi who is Baringo county governor played a major role in the contribution amidst other invited guests. Dr. Toromo encouraged the intellectuals to work in unity and wisdom towards the development of the country. He surprised many when he quoted memorized bible verses without referring to the bible.

Mr. Kiptis being one of the invited guests talked of the on going teachers  strike which has led to primary and secondary school learners to boycott classes for more than two weeks. He said it is a high time the government should pay teachers there percentage increment as per the rule by the supreme Court.

Member of county assembly Mr. Kibiwott and other guests talked of community development and sustainability. The event was concluded at 4 O'clock.

Citizens under pressure due to rising economy

Unemployment is one of the major disasters affecting Kenyan citizens, it has led to increased poverty levels and criminal activities.

Gone are the days when criminals used to be uneducated, in this century professionals who graduate with degrees remain without jobs thus prompting them to use their knowledge in undertaking criminal activities. It's so much disappointing to find experts in criminal fields.

Major factories and manufacturing companies that have been established for long are now closing down leading to low exports and increased imports. This has led to rising economy which affects the living standards of citizens as they spend a lot of money to acquire basic needs.

Should we digitize everything?

The world is undergoing transformation at a very high rate. Digitization is the key to major changes, but what surprise me the most is the way marriage and dating is perceived in this generation.

To understand what am trying to put across, it is better we look back into history and what shapes us. According to the African tradition and customs a girl used to stay in her father's home until she reaches an acceptable age capable of having a husband and handling marriage issues.

The girl was taught and counselled on how to maintain the marriage, relate with her husband, in laws and care for her family. The girl was not allowed to step her husband's to be home until official confirmation of the marriage by the community elders and the father is made.

Once the elders from both sides have talked and understood each other, a date for the wedding was to be set and bridal prize was to be negotiated and terms of payment. Marriage was disqualified if any of the partners had committed sexual sin or the girl found pregnant.

Nowadays, that's not the case, its like the whole process is being digitized as technological changes remain rapid and permanent. Girls get pregnant at early stages of dating simply because of the believe that sex is part of practices to perform while dating and is a sign of bold relationships.

The sparkling red

Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes? Those who linger over wine.

Recently, a Reverend was given a divorce by his 15 year old wife whom had lived together in US for 10 years before he came back to Kenya.

The Reverend by the name Simon Kuto received a photo from his wife showing his wife with another man whom she intended to marry. Simon had left his wife in US and came back to Kenya with their children, the Reverend got a position as the principal at Eldama Ravine bible college after his departure.

While he was away, the Reverend endalge himself in alcohol drinking an act that made his wife decide otherwise, as he misbehaved and never respected the wife and the children. Simon came back to Kenya fooling people that his wife was doing her further studies and will come immediately she completes her course.

Four years down the line, the wife is no where to be seen, he got frustrated leading to depression after receiving the photo. He drove to Chambai pub where he drunk to a point of staggering and squatting anyhow. He went back to his range rover and drove at a neck breaking speed before heating a shop. He survived losing his life.

Without further hesitation, the Reverend drove towards Nakuru way and disappeared. This incident has made me understand what the wisest King in the bible meant when he warned, do not join those who drink too much wine, or gorge themselves in meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor and drowsiness clothes them in rags.

Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly, in the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper.
