Duale's milk request



The august house has always been known to be a respectable chamber in any country. However, in recent years the legislative house has become a house of wonders. Just to cite a few cases: recently the Uganda’s house of representative turned into a boxing ring when the opposition members clashed with the ruling coalition over the extension of the presidential age limit, in Kenya the August house have always been on the spot in different occasions after misbehaving and doing what they like doing most. In a recent scenario a deputy speaker was sprinkled with water that was supposedly for drinking ‘uninyunyizie maji…bwana’.
As if that is not enough today 15th December 2017 a member of parliament was spotted getting into the August house with a tea flask. The majority leader, Adan Duale, noticed this and asked the speaker of the house to confirm if that was in order with the house rules and if it was okay he should be allowed to bring with him a guard full of milk . Esther Passaris, the Women Rep in question here, is said to have been spotted with a tea flask in the chambers. The speaker of the house Justin Muturi requested the sergeant at arms to be vigilant when ushering in the members of parliament. The Members should not get into the chambers with anything that can be used as a weapon in the house. A flask with hot tea can be a very dangerous weapon in the parliament in case there is a confrontation.
NB: The majority leader wants to be allowed to get into the August house with a guard containing camels milk. We are still waiting to hear what the Speaker will say about his request.

It sounds so good and original in my Kikuyu dialect (Ihiga ria tene ma, ninguihitha hariwe)- Rock of ages cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee. I was a Form IV student and we were getting ready for Mock Exams. I could rarely concentrate on books this fateful morning because the melodies in my mind were far much fun that the Chemical puzzles on my chemistry book. Anyway, Mondays are always lazy days to many people. I like being among these people. It such an irony that today Mondays are mostly my off days. Anyway, to make the short story long, this Monday was unlike others. I was invaded my this sorrowful and eschatological song that made me miss my mum so much. Secondly, it was my turn to select a biblical verse and read it at the school assembly that morning. I am a Gospel fanatic. And I love the Gospel of John. But this morning instin...

SLAVERY

REAGARNSTUS K. MULI DIDR-01-0083-2017                                                                 SLAVERY IN AFRICA    (LIBYA) Slavery in Libya has a long history and a lasting impact on the Libyan culture. It is closely connected with the wider context of slavery in North Africa and Arab slave trade. Therefore, the current activities in Libya may be considered not a new thing. Many of the victims in Libya are people or migrants moving to Europe for greener pastures preferably using Libya as a route. As it is now, it is hard to tell why Libya, urguably it is because with the three rival governments presiding over anarchy in Libya and the real power ly...
