Full Githongo Report

This is a must read. The rot is not just in the individuals but in the systems and in patronage politics. And this is going on in a government that’s under much more scrutiny and in an environment where the Githongo dossier can circulate freely. Just think, the full Goldenberg storo has STILL yet to […]

On Moving Back Pt 2.

Disclaimer: I’ve been rather peripatetic since coming back so I’m in essence a quasi-returnee.

Moving on.

Osas yearningly wants to know: Ory advise me first, pretty please, about that enigmatic promise of yours, where you assured that you now can “get home at a decent hour to find a hot meal waiting for you.” […]

On moving back pt. 1

So when I moved back I had all these grand ambitions of alpha-blogging from a local’s perspective…and then life took over. Plus I’m not as hilarious as Kenyan Prodigal Daughter (where is your book girl?). And I like to maintain my punditing blogging persona.

Excerpts from the Githongo Dossier to Kibaki

First, the Nigerian blogosphere was recently featured in the mainstream press. And the Washington Post featured Sudanese rebels who are running their rebellions via blogs. Then Thinker and other Kenyan bloggers get profiled in the Standard (with proper attribution and all!) courtesy of this post.

AOB: Mtaa FM.

Blind item day

Standard is on a roll.…

Who could they be talking about?

Minister 1 is likely Kipruto Kirwa: “One of them, who was not anywhere near Anglo Leasing, but managed to curve out a goldmine in his ministry, I am told, now has a new mansion somewhere on the undulating hills of a popular suburb so […]

Giving credit where it’s due…

While Pt IV. of the Kenyan journalism series is still cooking, I’d like to give credit where it’s due. I’d like to see more pieces like this.

AOB: If all goes as planned, this will soon change. A conversation with a parliament insider about a week ago revealed that there is no real reason […]
