Jubilee presidential candidate has been hitting the airwaves with his 'the devil made me sign the pact with Musalia Mudavadi' comment. We'll he is not the ONLY one to come up with such comments. A sitting African head of state has attributed the devil with phenomena happening in his country. Mugabe "Villain Or Hero" Trailer from undertheradar on Vimeo.
Came across Wanyonyi the Superstar yesterday while watching television and instantly liked the way one part of what is turning out to be a two horse race went about in announcing their rally. I think Jubilee should borrow leaf from CORD.
If we follow this route then chances of hate campaign like in the US will not come to this part of the world.
The Kenya Ni Kwetu lobby, invites you to a
peaceful demo in support of Kenya’s police force.
Dubbed “Polisi Ni Rafiki,” the demo is organised in support
of the force’s quest for better terms of service and working conditions. The
event, which will take place on Thursday, December 6, 2012, at 10am, at Uhuru
Park’s Freedom Corner, Nairobi, will be graced by Kenyans from all walks of
life.
The climax of the peaceful demo shall be at police
headquarters (Vigilance House), where Kenya Ni Kwetu members and
supporters will present flowers and a large mural to the Commissioner of
Police. The peaceful procession will end at 12 noon.
Our support for the police is a “call to action” for Kenyans
everywhere to reflect on the important role of police officers who have lost their
lives in the line of duty, and who continue to offer the essential service of
protecting the citizenry—but who continue to languish in poverty and privation.
The Kwani? Literary Festival is organised
by Kwani Trust on a biennial basis where the literary leaders of
Kenya, enriched with visiting writers from around the world, turn their
attention to one salient subject and explore it through the lenses of the
continent’s past, present and emerging literatures. In 2012, the Litfest will
focus on several geopolitical trends and
shifts in Kenya’s immediate north to host literary conversations with the
Horn of Africa.
It thus aims to act as a platform where the story of the
Horn of Africa can be told, to an extent, not taking the political crisis
narrative as the only story that exists.
