Women have for many decades fought to be made equal to men. They have only succeeded in creating a list of perceived feminist heroes and nothing else. I personally do not think that gender equality is something worth fighting for. If women wanted something to fight about they would rather fight for equal representation or a dinner date with Jimmy Gait. I am not saying a date with Gait is worth fighting for, though. All I am saying is: it is about time women found something worthwhile to do. I do not understand why women struggle and create so much fuss all in the name of pursuing gender equality. I wonder why women want to be thought equal to men. I mean, men are such a mess! If anyone wanted to fight for equality with something then a computer or a dinosaur would be better candidates, not a man for heavens sake! Women are aiming too low, that's my point. Again, we do not see men fussing around wanting to be made or thought to be  equal to women. At least men get it: it is not abo

In two month’s time Kenyans will be going to the polls again. The only real choice Kenyans have is between Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta. All the other candidates clearly lack the numbers to upset the current political establishment. Our economy isn’t doing too great and with the rising cost of living, plummeting living standards, rampant job losses and appalling rise in national debt, the Jubilee government will be hard pressed to find answers or be thrown out in August. We can all make a pretty good stab at Jubilee’s failures but does NASA provide any real alternative or is it just another bunch of power hungry hard-left politicians craving “their chance to eat”? That is the question this articles attempts to answer. Jubilee is coalitions of chaos. 4 years ago they romped into victory on the back of hundreds of bogus promises most of which have remained un-kept. Even the very nature of their victory was questionable, at least as far as CORD was concerned. All they have been

Luo benga is a crowded scene. It is a boiling pot teeming with hundreds of artistes, both dead and alive, young and old, males and females jostling for space in this very competitive music world.We have legends like the late George Ramogi, the late Owino Missiani (also known as DO Missiani), The late Okatch Biggy, the late Prince July, the late Prince Kassam, the late Omondi Tony, the late Kollela Maze, The late Kodiyo, to sample but a few. We also have an emerging crop of young talents like Dolla Kabarry, George Dume, Otieno Small, Kamaliza Majengo, Aluoch Jamaranda, Reggie Kabaselle  (son of the late Ochieng Kabaselleh ), Aluoch Jipanoran, Ogina KoKo, Omondi Longlilo, Jerry Jalamo Ka'John  and Osito Kalle to mention but a few. We cannot all agree who is the best and I am not going to impose my choices on you. But we can agree that from the long list of Benga artists in Luoland a few names stand out and a few songs stand out from the bunch like giraffe in heard of gazelles (well,

Igwe Prezida Bandasson is probably Kenyan’s biggest name in the rumba music scene. The founder and leader of Patron Musica has been a major influence on the Kenyan Rumba scene for close to a decade now. He started purely as a rumba musician and when many upcoming artistes took jabs at him for sticking with rumba because he couldn’t compete in the more popular Benga, he bridged into the genre and outdid them on their own turf. Such is his versatility. He can sing in four languages with mind-boggling ease, even in the ones you would think he stood no chance to excel in like Lingala and Swahili. Bandason has awed many fans with his ability on the microphone. His high toned voice blends so well with the guitar and slow rhythm of rumba beats. Since 2010, the maestro has continued to churn out album after album of quality music at an enviable rate. Little wonder then, that he has thrust himself into the music elite so fast attracting attention from as far as Congo. You have probably

No matter how you look at it, Gor Mahia failed last season. They won no major trophy, lost arguably the best coach the country has yet seen. Numbers do not lie. Compared to 2015 season when Gor Mahia almost swept all trophies on offer while playing some of the most breathtakingly beautiful attacking football Kenya has yet seen, 2016 was a year to forget: no trophy, beaten by our major rivals and docked 3 points for crowd troubles. Things couldn’t have been worse. Coach Ze Maria is as clueless as they come. His defense minded game plan, over-reliance on crosses and long balls: an adherence to the much maligned ‘direct’ or ‘route one’ approach has taken Gor Mahia decades back and the numbers are telling. Compared to Nuttal’s final season (2015) when Gor Mahia scored a record breaking 60 goals, they only managed a dismal 35 goal tally last year (2016) despite fielding almost the same players as the previous season. Consequently Gor Mahia’s goal difference for the season dropped from
