Waziri check his moving of the brexit bill during the Theresa May days. Master class oratory beauty.
Sir Geoffrey Cox (KC). Member of Parliament for Torridge and Tavistock. Pure oratory prowess punctuated with flare, patriotism and a dash of pomp! Beautiful art. His passion is not lost in his poise. What a compelling call to preserve the jury.

True. Whether it is slavery , colonialism or the inherent systemic racism that the balck man has suffered, there's an inferiority dynamic in our race that makes us feel happy to seek to be a prop for and fit in to please the whites. Sad
My dear fellow sons and daughters of Mungu, I promise you that "tourism" is a false god that brings you no prosperity. It a fake pseudo-industry that creates next to no actual wealth for the people and places it exploits, and reduces the value of said people to mere trinkets and

Running a newsroom in sub-Saharan Africa has stretched me in ways I never anticipated. Grants disappear without warning. Local advertising or subscription is an extreme sport. Real philanthropy for journalism is almost absent, and when funding appears, it is crowded, competitive,

What’s striking is how similar the arguments are to George W Bush in 2003, and the imminent threat of Iraq’s WMD. That in turn led to American fatigue with the ‘forever wars’ Which, in turn, led to Trump’s 2016 victory and a promise to end US military adventurism And yet, here
BREAKING: Donald Trump says "we can't take it any more" as he announces that the U.S. has begun "major combat operations" in Iran. The U.S. president confirmed the military action in a video post on Truth Social. Latest 🔗 https://t.co/uuj8fwXPMq 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube

See, slums are never upgraded, they are eliminated via employment. Everything else encourages rural-urban migration. Arguing that our urbanization is an urgent problem that only Affordable Housing Programme can address is pervasive and lazy. Kenya has over 1,400 slums and they
Allow me to ask, why do people live in slums like Mukuru, Kibra, Kawangware etc, is it because of lack of enough housing units or it is because those are the places they can afford?.. a follow up question, when these people get money, do they move out or continue living there?

Nobody in politics, especially who is wealthy, can give us an industrialization plan. Nobody. Our industrialization problem is the elites who fear excellence and innovation because they made money from tenders and access to the state. We can never industrialize with them in
Kenya must liberalise Power production for Manufacturing and high Tech Industries to grow. Our Country can easily be a hub of Data Centres and take advantage of the current and growing high demand for energy as a result of technology uptake. The entrenched patronage in Power

Cela fait quatre ans que l’Europe s’est réveillée au bruit des bombes russes en Ukraine. Quatre ans d’une guerre d’agression choisie par la Russie, au mépris flagrant du droit international, de la souveraineté d’un peuple, et de la vie humaine. Quatre ans de villes frappées,

Chief, remember Nairobi still does not have a substantive ambassador from DC. So much for near favored status in the region
Trump's new ambassador to SA presents credentials. Washington is sharpening its focus on Pretoria for its geopolitical weight and BRICS pull, even as relations bristle over policy disputes. South Africa is now the third African country to receive a U.S. ambassador.

You've spoken for millions ndugu. Just sad
There have been moments in the last few years when I felt I was the only one who was too broke for my age. When I felt that I was the only failure in my bracket of friends. I felt I had underachieved and, by any measure, was a loser. It is a quiet shame, usually known to a few

A letter sent by the Kenya Nutritionists and Dieticians Institute (KNDI) to the Media Council of Kenya (MCK) is unwarranted and a laughable document. It is not a simple advisory. It is a blatant, aggressive, and unconstitutional attempt to silence the media and control what

Kenyans must not treat the Law Society of Kenya presidential election as an internal lawyers’ affair , this contest carries national constitutional consequences. The LSK is not a social club. It is the moral and legal shield that stands between citizens and State excess.

The North voted 76% for Azimio. And Riggy G's slogan, before he was kicked out of the dining hall, was the national cake is only for shareholders. So, yes we will call out thievery in the North, but Riggy G or anything associsted with him isn't part of the solution. Not at all!
