First of all i would like to thank you for your posting, stuff like this is invaluable to me since i live abroad and my parents refuse to let me come back home.
Well I was slightly amused but mostly gracious that somebody else has noticed that kenyang parties are completely based on “politics” instead of ideology. When was the last time a party campaigned on the basis of increasing welfare, improving education etc. I completely agree with your analysis on this issue simply because i think our people have suffered enough under a government that does not care about their welfare but about staying in power. please continue blogging information about our country and feel free to email me any new information about what is going on because it’s quite difficult to stay on board since i’m so far away from home.

You could have knocked me over with a feather!
The gullibility and predisposition of Kenyans to be “shocked” by the antics of their moronic MP’s is, for me, to be marveled at.
MPs have done the same kabuki dances so frequently that I’d be (pleasantly) surprised if they did anything different!
That Kenyans will vote for the same folks in ‘07 is shocking, NOT!

while we are on the subject of MP’s - i think a law need to be passed to stop MP’s from holding other offices or holding positions of profit. i mean doesnt it corrupt or interfere with the system whe you have one MP representing another MP or someone else in a criminal case. i mean of you hav a case where its tjhe people ie (GOK )vs mullei who is represented by mutula kilonzo -who is an MP and who is supposed to represnet the people i mean this is convoluted at the least and corrupt at the most

When the 9th parliament is over , we will gladly clap and yell “Good Riddance”.
It had to be. Funnily enough, this is the parliament with the most schooled guys so i wonder what really happened.

You can fool people but you cant fool the same people all the time.

Rant on sister!

Sometimes I wonder whether to laugh or cry when i watch these clowns! Just what are they hoping to achieve when they no longer have a say in anything?!

“Negotiation does not equal weakness and going from some influence to zero influence is not a victory”

That sums it up for me!

I’m convinced those idiots in parliament are competeing for atop secret prize in a game called “beyond stupidity”. I think I’ll take a brief hiatus from reading the news just to get away from all of them.

Hear hear! Would like to see the Hansard, attendanace, daily-recap, calendar and especially parliamentary bills online so we too can read and understand what is going on.

As for the renovations, what was so hard about putting in a video camera in the chamber? Look how easy it is to capture weddings on camera!
