This video is making the rounds on the internet. It’s “pastor” Thomas Muthe.he.he. blessing Sarah Pain-me and praying to the “lord” to help them rebuke witchcraft.
Pailin shows up towards the end of the video to receive her blessing and to allow pastor muu-muu to cleanse away those witches from… I don’t know. Her head? or [...]

So, I was visiting a friend this weekend and she started talking about Safaricom’s share price. Apparently, her brother is a member of this investment group that has bought Safaricom shares and they’re getting nervous because the share price isn’t moving up and they aren’t making any money.

Did anyone catch this story in the Daily Nation? Apparently, the “economists” at the Infant Mortality Fund, oh sorry, I meant to say the IMF, are now telling us that Kenya’s economy is set for boom times. Yes, people.

In reading the newspapers this month, it’s becoming quite obvious (and perhaps even scary) that this man Muthaura is increasingly taking on roles that the president should be performing. What’s happening to Kibaki’s brain? has it finally relented?
Usually, to succeed in government, you need to surround yourself with people who possess two unique skill sets. [...]

I was having dinner with a good friend the other night and she mentioned that her 401K was taking a hit. This is the second time she’s mentioned it. I’m sure others have observed the same thing with their 401k’s.
I was talking to yet another friend (who I consider to be a semi-expert on finance) [...]

During Moi and Biwott’s time, the NSSF was used as a personal piggy bank to finance their political operations and in the case of Biwott, to fund his various private businesses.

I was perusing the BD Africa Technology section and they’re a whole bunch of companies that are trying to strategically place themselves in the right place in order to take advantage of this high speed cable line that is supposedly coming.

Yes, you know who I’m referring to here:
Will-kill Router and William “I’m gonna eat your mama” Ntimama.
Looks like the names of those people linked to the post-election violence has finally been leaked out. I’m surprised by how short the list of names is because I think they’re a lot more Kalenjin MP’s who should [...]
