At times when I wake up and make my way to the office like millions of others Kenyans do every morning I always ask myself, what if Kenya was free of corruption where would I be? Would all these women and men be walking to work? Would we still have this crazy traffic jam that takes up an average of 3 hours, what a waste of time and human resources? Where we are as a country in terms of development, is that the full potential of Kenya or she ought to be way ahead? Corruption is like a cancer that is finishing us slowly but surely.

BLACK WOMAN
Naked woman, black woman
Clothed with your colour which is life, with your form which is beauty!
In your shadow I have grown up; the gentleness of your hands was laid over my eyes.
And now, high up on the sun-baked pass, at the heart of summer, at the heart of noon,
I come upon you, my Promised Land,
And your beauty strikes me to the heart like the flash of an eagle.
Naked woman, dark woman
Firm-fleshed ripe fruit, sombre raptures of balck wine, mouth making lyrical my mouth

I have been attending a training on human rights research, writing and editing orgnaized by the African Human Rights Consortium -AHRC in Gaborone, Botswana. The institute seeks to produce effective media and NGO persons who will use research to push forward their advocacy work on human rights violations in their countries. But the institute story is for another day.

Times sure heals wounds and as time goes by, as Kenyans we may have moved on but that does not mean we have forgotten what happen during the 2007 elections. Commissions have come and gone, reports and recommendations have been made and submitted to the relevant authorities, but nothing much seems to happen. As Kenyans, we seem to have given up and we are not questioning the government..................................Read more on the attached document, Who is to Blame. Remember to give your comments and inputs which are highly appreciated.

We are past the middle of the second year since the Grand Coalition Government signed the National Peace Accord. Several attempts by different groups have been made to pressurize the government to implement Agenda 4 recommendations of the Peace Accord. The issues addressed by Agenda 4 include youth unemployment, the resettlement of internally displaced persons, and the formation of a local tribunal to try perpetrators of post-election violence. So far, the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation team has been formed and sworn in.

Ladies, times are hard but we need to be smarter and tighten our belts. I am sadden by the story appearing in today's Nation and was also shown on Television with regards to a woman (who looks young) who stage-managed her own kidnapping. This lady who happens to be a teacher in Garissa traveled to Nairobi to pick-up her Nigerian boyfriend (our Nigerian brothers dont seem to keep away from trouble) only to be Kidnapped.
