By John Muthoga Wambugu For more than fifteen years, I have lived a life defined by advocacy, conviction, and a deep commitment to human dignity. My journey as a gay rights activist in Kenya has not been an easy path. It has been shaped by purpose, but also by personal tribulations, social rejection, threats, and emotional strain that come with standing in a space that remains highly sensitive within society. My activism began from observing the lived realities of LGBTQ individuals in Kenya. I witnessed how many people were forced into silence, living double lives out of fear of rejection, discrimination, or violence. I saw how stigma affected families, friendships, education, employment, and mental health. Over time, I came to understand that silence was not protection—it was a form of suffering that deepened exclusion. That realization became the foundation of my commitment to speak, write, and advocate for equality. Societal Rejection and Personal Isolation,  One of the most pai...

What price will Libyan people pay to be free, that the question that lingers in everyone mind for those who have been following Libyan political unrest. For the last three or so months the Libyan airspace World most powerful nations lined up to ravage Libya and to premier their state of the art arsenal while the despot Libyan ruler has vowed to remain adamant and hardcore to the core. One wonders why diplomacy wasn’t given a chance to settle Libya political unrest and why the western nations hastily endorsed air strike. In my opinion the air strike was meant to stop Muammar Gaddafi from attacking and killing civilians, something that NATOS invasion have failed to safeguard. We are seeing more western aggression against an impeccable humanity and no doubt horrific damages have resulted. NATO has ostensibly allowed itself to be engulfed into ill-fought war whose motives are to protect world powerful nation’s interest. The autocratic Libyan leader who hates some grandiose tittles has ho...

The battle for the most coveted judiciary seat lived to our expectation, we witnessed a horrendous panelist of lawyers tearing through the cv’s of the job seekers leaving them battled and bruised. Many of these job seekers, most of them being judges couldn’t get their names on the top notch seat because of their previous misdeed in administering justice and their controversial rulings. All in all, the chief justice had to be appointed anyway and with no doubt one man had to trounce the others and emerge victorious. Doctor Willy Mutunga impeccable character gullibly attracted the eyes of the panelist and with that he landed a pompous job. I am not a disputant who needlessly protract the argument, but a loyal citizen seeking to castigate the notion of having people with corrupted morals as heads of our institution.   The bone of contention though is the stud in his left eye, call me old fashioned or stereotype but I strongly condemn such eccentric behavior on a 64 old yrs man. His ...

IMPROVED EDUCATIONAL SERVICES THROUGH THE USE ICT Abstract A study was conducted in Kenya being a developing country to evaluate the use of information and technology in high schools and teacher colleges. As the part of that study we established how ICT has improved educational services. This article explores a number of ways in which information and communications technologies (ICT) have been incorporated and integrated in a teacher education program in order to extend opportunities for students to interact with ICT as part of their preparation for becoming early childhood professionals. It describes three examples where ICT have been utilized in different contexts to promote understanding of the implications of technologies in educational settings, to engage students with powerful conceptual ideas and as a means of communication between students on campus and those in remote areas. The examples reveal that both undergraduate and graduate students indicated that they were at a novic...

His “majesty ‘ king Robert Gabriel “Bob “ Mugabe of southern Rhodesia “Monarch “commonly known as Zimbabwe should consider his blatant and reckless utterances before the world retaliate on him and bring him down and his kingdom tumbling. King Robert was among the enigmatic continental statesman who has been cherished for liberating southern Rhodesia from colonial rule. The Jesuit educated intellectual had lead a protracted guerrilla war against Britons in Zimbabwe. Today the blatant self styled king has become an international pariah and his monarch is still enjoying patronage privileges of an oriental despot. The founding father of southern Rhodesia has turned against the will of his people and is trying all means to remain at helm of power till he dies. Today Zimbabwe has become Mugabe’s absolute monarch and Zimbabweans have been held at ransom. Ten years ago New Africa magazine based in London voted Mugabe as most popular African leader ,today the queen of Britain is shamelessly ...

For those of us who have seen it coming right from the quest for multi party democracy in early 90's to this date,we need not to be reminded where we've come from. It was journey that some of us got lost behind, and when the battle got sour and dread a lot of us wept and moaned, we was like the lost children of Israel searching to be flee in this East Africa world region. As a teenage i saw grown men cry, battled and bruised but they couldn't kill their spirit. We’ve all been fighting for a noble cause; let no man enthuse in our kindness. The proponents of the draft constitution should concede a defeat, how dare are they to reduce the quest for draft to witch hunting .Timeless in case we never been acquainted, mindless violence, we are still letting them paint it in our society. The NO proponents dwell on the chauvinism of making extraterrestrial life in our own image. If they want us to belief what they are telling us is true, they ought to have advocated for that when ...

I am writing this irate note to urge you all citizen of good will shun this rational pessimist as he try to purse his egotistic agenda.   The former president discordant and bigoted attitude towards the proposed constitution leave us with cheer utter and disbelief .The senior citizen however is blindly and obstinately attached to some creed or opinion intolerant towards others. The retired president is traversing the nation campaigning against the draft constitution and we all know the ostensible truth behind his invigorated efforts. It’s therefore apparent that the former   KANU’S linchpin is trying to protect his vested interest on issues that he feels might be subdued to public scrutiny if the draft constitution passes. He is thus trying to pursue his personal interest at the expense of the nation.   The former oriental despot has seemingly voluptuous appetite and zeal towards scheming and orchestrating propaganda.   Our civilization is shifting from science an...
