20:22 According to New Vision, a Ugandan publication, there are 250 men endorsing the campaign. More are expected to join the ranks.
Maendeleo Ya Wanaume was established by Mr. Nderitu Njoka. During last month's sex ban, he was quoted by The Daily Nation saying,
“This is against the Bible, which calls on women to be submissive to their husbands ...”
There were a lot of angry men in Kenya that week. Some cited an infringement of their conjugal rights while others claimed that the women's sex boycott only encouraged prostitution. A Mr. James Kimondo sued activists for the stress he endured during the seven days.
I am curious as to how these men will reconcile their views with this new ban.

From what we have seen there is a shift with some of the so-called underdogs going basket-for-basket with the top teams. Orlando Magic which has appeared only once in the NBA Finals (then with young Shaq 'Attack' O'Neal and Afernee 'Penny' Hardaway-where did he go to ?) and never won any rings. As for the Denver Nuggets, this is their third Conference Final and hopefully first NBA Final. This shift has been occassioned by the very fluid market that has the players moving teams even within the season. These trades as they are called have meant that a team can start slow and look to make strategic buys within the season and as some of these do, strengthen for the Play-offs. The rigors and physical demands could also attribute to this. Another important factor is the wider appreciation of foreign players, meaning more players from the European and Asian professional leagues are making it into the NBA making it more competitive.
As I usually say, these guys know the business of sports and adopt to the rapid changes that the world sees on a day-to-day basis. If we can borrow just 30% of what these guys do, our sports administration can move miles ahead of others in the region. KBF, not even the scraps are coming your way....
partners of the International Olympic Committee such as Nike and others; to annual grants from the same body and also Government support. Again the same officials are usual gallivanting across the world being lavished by various cities as they wish to win their votes as they bid for the Olympic Games. These among other trappings make more attractive than other associations in town. Given that their mandate too only becomes busy when the country's team is about to go for the Olympics, these guys enjoy one of the easiest rides in sports administration.Thus when one veteran official lamented that he was being sidelined from the gravy train- ironic since he's also led the athletics' world with similar if not worse tactics- even though the second most powerful official from the same body was reportedly able to sneak in his nomination papers for the same position our official was fighting for.Well, most of the officials maintained their positions but the exception ( and I hope she doesn't disappoint) is the election of Catherine Ndereba as a committee member. Her election is precedent since most sports bodies are led by retired hands in their disciplines. The transition she will make into sports administration may augur well for the future of sports in the country. I only wish the same was translating into the sports bodies....But surely why do we need officials holding office for 2-3 terms yet they are not adding value to the sport ? Talk about a revolution !
