One of the initial reasons for getting a new phone was that I wanted to have a good tool that allows me to blog “from the road”, as I had already done that last year on December 30th through my old Nokia 6230i while waiting in the lobby of a neat Hotel in Mombasa. With the Nokia N95 in my hands, this task seems to be a bit easier now, although I still have to figure out how to enter hyperlinks + the keyboard keypad is a bit disappointing. Should I switch to a Nokia E61i?
And….haiiyaaa…there’s SO much more to write about this new gadget, but then - the internet is full of interesting stories + I am horribly short in time these days, so the mobile code below actually says it all. Ama? :-)

John Victor Ogot urges Kenyan politicians to have have public relations consultants to control their public image. Mistakes will no doubt be made, and your average attention seeking politician is
likely to let fly something he will regret as soon as it leaves his mouth.
However, the conduct of interviews and press releases is controllable.

You will have noticed that there are a lot of changes at this site. For a number of reasons, I have had to re-organize this Kumekucha site, basically changing the location of things but none of this will in any way interfere with your enjoyment of this highly popular and addictive site. If anything your pleasurable experience will be enhanced because you will now have access to a lot more than just Kenyan politics and news. Although the main page will remain here, I will be re-directing Kenyan politics and news traffic to our sister Kumekucha site. One of the things that has happened recently is that we have detected attempts to hack into our main site and I feel that it is prudent at this time that we take precautions against such an eventuality. This main site will now feature the headlines and a brief summary before linking to the actual stories. This main site will now also take up the role of being an article directory to store quality articles and information as well as help people direct targeted traffic to their sites. So in case you have a site that you would like to direct loads of tagetted traffic to, then this is a good site to post educative and informative articles with links leading back to your site. They have to be approved of course because we want to maintain high standards. Meanwhile you will still be able to enjoy quality kumekucha content both here and at Kumekucha1.blogspot.com, and I will feel much more secure and more prepared to face any emergency or adversary in future. Thank you and ENJOY.

archiveYesterday a mysterious fire broke out at a primary school in Kawangware. Despite several frantic calls to the fire department and their assurance that they were on the way, they did not arrive until well over an hour when the fire had already done a lot of damage. The mob that had gathered around went berserk and started throwing stones at the fire engine and pelting the firemen with everything they could lay their hands on. Most of readers pointed out quite correctly the inhuman manner in which an adulterous woman and her lover were paraded stark naked in the streets in broad daylight after being caught red handed in the act.

Article Directory Special You need to understand why blogs are generally so much more effective in generating traffic than websites. Why blogs always tend to rank higher than web sites in search engines results for popular keywords and why blogs have made many more millionaires much more quickly than websites ever did. Grasping and understanding the blog advantage will mean much more traffic for you and all the sites you ever promote using articles; 1. Linking comes naturally in the blogosphere and these links rapidly accumulate to a high number and directs colossal chunks of traffic from one blog to another. There are blogs out there that have never featured significantly in any search engine but enjoy daily six-figure traffic, all coming in through links from other blogs. Your article posted at the right blog has a decent chance of rapidly attracting links and traffic. 2. However it is also true that the high number of links inevitably takes blogs right to the top of search engine results for popular keywords, which causes even more traffic to pour in for a long time to come. Articles that you post in blogs that get liked and thus attract lots of links will be pushed right to the top with very little or no further effort from you. 3. The giant Google-owned blogger.com, which is by far the largest host of blogs on the web usually lists recently posted article and interesting new blogs in its' home page. This sites home page receives millions of visitors daily and this gives any article posted in a blog extra publicity and visibility and a chance of getting noticed. 4. Google also have a blog search engine called Google blog search that is getting more and more popular by the day. In fact traffic to this blog search tool is exploding. And it is not too difficult to figure out why. Searching for most information is a lot easier at the blog search engine than it is at the conventional search engine. You're usually looking for as much content as possible and the content is in blogs. When your article is posted at some blog, you dramatically increase the chances of somebody finding you using the blog search tool. 5. Remember that even when a blog that does not link to your article gets traffic, chances are high that the traffic will end up at your blog site. How many times have you followed links three or four times across several blogs? That's how the blogosphere operates and you'd be crazy not to look for a way to cash in on this as soon as possible. POST YOUR ARTICLE IN THIS BLOG NOW and receive little known hot valuable tips on how to increase traffic even further. These weekly ezine usually costs $260 but you can get it for free after posting your original articles in this blog.

 This is one of the best Cop Dramas of our time. Over and over again I've debated over which is better- The Wire or Shield. Season 2 and 4 of The Wire were a little slow and off the tangent we are used to. The latest season 4 was slow and dealt with school kids-so for now Shield temporarily takes the lead. Season 5 had the worst cliff hanger ever. Worst in terms of DAMN GOOD! Killing Lem was sweeeeet Drama..and Shane was just the character for it. And the brutality of it all..dropping a greenade on your pals lap...such nerve...such violence. Season 6 picked right up from there. And it was pure intense drama when Vic found out that Shane did it. Another fine moment was Cavanaugh losing to Vic. Even after he had been reduced to framing him. I still believe he was robbed off an Emmy for that role. Cavanaugh has been out to get Vic. Sure Vic ain't innocent he is as rogue and corrupt as it gets. But we like Vic. When Vic slept with Cavanaugh's Ex and said her "pussy tasted like sweet sweet butter!" That's our Vic. Who writes for this show...cause Cavanaugh looked like he had had a stroke! Aceveda's blow-job incident came back to haunt him. "Suck it like a cell-bitch!" Again priceless lines. I'm so impressed that the writers hadn't forgotten that storyline that was never completed. Awkward moment is Vic fathering a child outside marriage and his daughter wants to visit the new borne. I love seeing Anthony Anderson making brief cameo's he was an all time favorite bad guy and some of his past dealings with Shane also return to haunt Shane. A great season. A lousy sombre ending but Season 7 should be the best since it may be the last. The problem with Shield is too few episodes. But it sure overcompensates everywhere else screaming Great Cast and Great Characters.

 It took me close to 30 minutes to download a 2MB file over a VPN connection. Mind you, this is over a broadband internet connection. This reminds me of 10 years ago when it used to take forever to download documents from the web. I've still got 12 more minutes before I can download and synchronize all my emails onto MS Outlook. Even something simple like getting a quote from a company takes the whole day as they claim their systems are slow if not down most of the time. Productivity must be at an all time low in Kenya if this is the way business is carried out.

 Four of the AfriGadget editors descended upon Limuru, Kenya to visit the NEST orphanage - a home of children whose mother’s are in prison. The orphanage lies about an hour outside of Nairobi and has 70 children ages 7 months to 15 years old. The true capacity of the home is 96 children, but the they’re resource-strapped as it is and the 70 they have is a lot.
95% of the children’s mothers are in prison. Only four mothers are in prison for capital offenses, the others are in for drugs, neglect, prostitution, or some other type of petty offense. Since the majority of children are neglected, there is generally a large amount of medical attention needed - which again stretches their resources.
Juergen, who writes as Kikuyumoja and originally asked us to take a look at the place, has set up a blog for the NEST home (www.thenesthome.com). It’s been up for a while, and it helps keep up to date with what is happening at the orphanage. If you would like to support them, you can there.
Afromusing has a moving blog post up telling a story about one of the abused babies that was given into the NEST home’s care.

From the Kenya Gazette last week,
The Oserian Development Corporation has been licensed (by the Minister for Energy) to operate two geothermal power plants at oserian farm, Lake Naivasha area for a period of for 15 years.
There isn’t a link online but this story on the bbc offers some great background info.
From M&G Online - South Africa
Increasing use of renewable energy can be encouraged using an energy policy directive. That is how Denmark did it. South Africa appears to be heading in a positive direction.
Under the proposed by-law — the first of its kind in South Africa — most new buildings (and those undergoing renovations) with a value of more than about R490 000 will be required to meet at least 60% of their water-heating requirements with solar heaters.
The city’s 2005 Energy and Climate-Change Strategy has set a target of having 10% of all city households using solar water heating by 2010. Official estimates put Cape Town’s population at 3,23-million

The Kenya Re IPO opens in a week (July 18) and, it's a good time to assess the potential gains for a retail investor who subscribes. While the prospectus is not yet out, all signs are that this will be a massive Kengen-like IPO, a quasi-monopoly with good growth prospects & profits that will stir the investment market. (I was wrong on most counts about the Eveready IPO) But unlike Kengen, corporate and institutional investors have been allocated a good chunk of the cake, which they won't have to fight over with retail investors. So what's left for retail? 56,000 shareholders: According to reports, retail investors have been allocated a pool of 47%. That comes to 112.8 million shares of the 240 million shares offered. So 56,400 is the expected number of retail investors [buying 2,000 shares at 9.50 each = Kshs 19,000 ($283)]. But Kengen drew many more than that and these were retail investors applying for several thousand shares (above the Kengen minimum of 5,950 shillings). And with so many pyramids schemes crashing down, those lucky to have got any cash out will hope to repeat the magic rise of Kengen on day one on listing. Plus commercial banks are still flush with cash and will probably offer more loans to buy shares. oversubscribed = refund: budget a minimum two hours for queuing, filling out forms. IPO opens on July 18, closes on July 31. Then wait for about a month, till mid-August for results with the new shares expected to list towards month end (August 25 or September. Depending on the retail surge, one can expect between 1/3 and ½ of the shares applied for – meaning you pay Kshs. 19,000 for 2,000 shares but end up with 700 shares worth Kshs. 6,650. This is followed by another hour visit to the stockbroker to trace the inevitable refund cheque in September. Is it worth it? Probably, for Kenya Re. But why not sit out the Kenya Re IPO and wait for the shares to list at the end of August? The price will have changed, but if it's around 15 shillings, then you can buy as much as you want just by calling your stockbroker and placing an order – by passing the headache of an IPO? 19,000 shillings will not earn much in any savings account, but at least the money is available and within reach – as perhaps other share prices will drop within reach as investors cash out to buy into Kenya Re. Still, it is insulting that some shareholders think of retail investors as emotional cattle who buy and sell on whims and don’t do any research and analysis. And we don’t have the extra privilege granted to institutions who, this time, won’t have to pay any money until they get their share allocation confirmed.

I saw in the distance a god
sucking life through a straw, sucking
the silence; then she darted in a blur
to where, behind a bush,
pygmies pumped air into a beach-ball,
chuckling and slapping smeared hands on it,

used by graduates at mountain schools;
they released it, watched it go up, up,

Currently, there is a raging debate in the Kenyan public domain concerning the merits and demerits of abortion and whether it should be legalized or not. A few days ago, a top official in the government threw a spanner in the works by claiming that he routinely helped Catholic nuns procure abortions while he once practiced as a doctor. Now, the Catholic Church is trying to cover its shame by angrily stating its position in the matter. The church’s spokespeople insist that the nuns do not represent any of its wishes since the Catholic Church is pro life. Of course the advocates of abortion are strongly stating their case that unsafe backstreet abortions are becoming too rampant, and it is time to save lives by legalizing abortion. Slightly over a week ago, such strong sentiments by advocates from both the pro and anti camps forced a tie-and-suit conference to degenerate into chaos. Amidst all the noise, the media is having a field day.
All over the world, sensitive issues such as abortion and homosexuality tend to draw very strong reactions from the public. But then again, history teaches us that any issue that contradicts religious teachings is often met with very strong opposition.
The case of the Catholic nuns procuring abortions calls to attention the dimension that a problem takes when it comes knocking on a person’s door. I have always wondered what decision a father who vigorously campaigns against abortion would make if his 15 year old daughter was to get pregnant through rape. Would he reconsider his stand given that the daughter’s future life would be hinged on this one time choice? What percentage of parents would close their eyes in a prior prayer of forgiveness and later take the young girl to be operated on?
What about a parent who has always condemned homosexuals as queers destined to hell learning that his or her own teenage child is gay? Would a parent throw out a child on account of sexual orientation? Given a parent’s Love, the father or mother would try every means available to make the young man or woman conform. Perhaps while making threats during the day, they would be kneeling in prayer at night supplicating God on behalf of the child. I imagine if all else failed, they would probably just accept the child and continue praying for a miracle. For that to happen, they would probably change their initial concepts about the issue, and perhaps look at the homosexual community through a totally different lens of humanity.
The same kind of scenario is common is a case involving a stigmatized disease. Take the case of HIV/AIDS. About 10 years ago, it would have been prudent for anyone seeking fitness to wear a t-shirt emblazoned with the words, “I have lost weight because I have been working out” in order to prevent tongues from wagging and avoid social isolation. Now that HIV/AIDS is not as mysterious as it used to be, people are more tolerant. The fact that many people know at least one person – perhaps a close relative - who has lived with the disease makes it a problem to be handled with humanity.
It is easy for anyone to point and judge from a distance without remembering that tables often turn. When a person makes fun about a nun – or any other woman - who got an abortion, he or she fails to consider how difficult it is for the woman to live with the decision of losing that child each day - counting to imaginary 9 months, then the first birth day, and subsequent birthdays - It hurts, very much. The judgmental person who might laugh that a nun would find herself in a position to get pregnant might not even have an idea of how painful it is for a person who has chosen to profess the Love for God in public when the desires of the body win over the human will. As usual, let us take it easy on ourselves and on others.

When I come to think about it, I still conclude that women are generally more successful in the art of living than men. I suppose that is why statistics indicate that on average, wives outlive their husbands and women live longer than men. I believe this results in the many subtle differences that characterize both genders and that lead a lot of people to conclude that men and women must be from different planets.
For a start, women not only seem to know themselves better, but also take better care of themselves. These facts become clear first thing in the morning and continue being so for the rest of the day. A woman’s morning ritual involves a considerable amount of time looking at her image in the mirror. It also involves a lot of touching; literally from head to toe. If you have ever observed a woman doing these things, you might have noticed a focused attention that contains much more tenderness and care than that a man will give himself from 2 minutes of hurried shaving, followed by the grimace resulting from a stinging splash of aftershave. Throughout the day, women will take brief moments to fish out small mirrors from their bags to look at themselves before continuing to make themselves prettier with tiny combs and other paraphernalia of grooming. On the other hand, it is sufficient to say that apart from the brief morning face to face encounter while shaving and adjusting the tie, the only other time that a man gets to see his face is over the bathroom mirror while washing his hands. Of course, the more you get to see a person, the more familiar you get with them. The more physical contact you make with a person, the more intimate you become with them. This not only holds true to others, but to ourselves as well. We can then conclude that based on the time taken to look at and touch, women score higher in knowing and being intimate with themselves.
When a woman wants to reward herself, she will invariably include a trip to the hair saloon, manicurist, spa or any such place where she will get pampered and even get therapeutically regenerated. When coming from such an excursion, she will look radiant for days. On the other hand, a man’s idea of rewarding himself often involves an extended visit to a crowded, smoke filled bar, followed by a few walking-dead days resulting from a massive hangover and lack of sleep. Incidentally, many pubs in Kenya have a section where a man’s car will get washed, vacuumed, and waxed while the guy gets inebriated and engorges himself in barbequed meat. I suppose here is one of those places that many men take better care of their cars then they do themselves.
Through talking out their problems, girlfriends often act as each other’s shrinks, and emotional ventilators. Of course there is great value in this practice since all the talking, laughing and crying goes a long way in clearing any baggage that might have been weighing down a person. For many men, it is more honorable to shatter like glass under stress and emotional pressure than find a crying shoulder in another person, no matter how close that person might be.
Anyone would be justified to conclude that I am slightly biased and perhaps bit too hard on men. The reason is because I am using a great deal of generalization and a bit of stereotyping. I mean no offence. But just from these few examples, you can then see why a woman would wonder, “How can a person live like this?” when referring to a man. You can also see why a man would say to his friend, “I do not understand women!”
It is interesting to see a sizeable fraction of women trying hard to acquire the characteristics that traditionally define men. This is especially true in this part of the world where until recently, masculinity and femininity had a clearly drawn dividing line marked “do not cross” in clear bold font. Looking around, one would be forgiven for concluding that femininity seems to be losing its allure as girls attempt to outdo men at being boys. Incidentally, as the girls become gruff, cuss loudly, party and hardy ever so harder, more boys than ever before are braiding their hair, having their nails done, and wearing thongs as they try to find their feminine sides.
It is a beautiful thing to watch a woman who has embraced her femininity. It is quite surprising to feel the inadvertent excitement that the presence of such a woman evokes from a place that rarely shows itself just by a simple walk across a room. It is from that same place that men have created music over the ages about the grace of a woman in the same beat with the fragrance of a red rose and the mystery of the stars above. I suppose if a woman was to write about the appeal of masculinity to her gender, it would be with similar glowing tribute.
From all the role reversing, cross dressing, sex change and homosexuality, it is apparent that more people are becoming uneasy with belonging to a particular gender. Maybe it is just a matter of time before we all meet at a unisex middle and perhaps, a couple would have to toss a coin each morning to decide who would be the man for that day. I wonder if the world will be a better place then? Or are we better off just embracing who we are?

Upon importing a used car or purchasing one from any dealer, one has to use the red 'KG' plate until the licence plates are issued. Now KRA in its effort to net more tax has, and it has been successful so far, has started enforcing some laws that were ignored for quite some time. To buy a used car, make sure you get one from a licenced dealer or individual by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles which is an arm of KRA. This is under the little known and applied Second Hand Motor Vehicles Purchase Tax Cap 484 sec 4(1) of Kenya's Law. They have also set their eyes on gar garages where repairs are done. They also have to be registered by the ROM and have a Dealer's General Licence for 'KG' plates under Traffic Act cap 403 sec 23-29. Now the reality of KRA hitting the Ksh409B in the next financial year doesnt seen to be farfetched.
