WHAT NEXT FOR THE PEOPLE OF MERU?

Image
Meru County, nestled on the eastern slopes of Mount Kenya, has long been a region of vibrant political activity. Known for its diverse culture, rich agricultural lands, and strategic importance, Meru is now becoming equally known for its political drama. The past months have seen Meru being a hotbed of political intrigue, power play, and even an attempted ouster of its governor. But what is really happening in Meru, and why is it so significant? The Political Landscape of Meru Meru's politics have always been colorful, characterized by a mix of traditional leadership structures and modern political dynamics. Historically, the region has been governed by a blend of community elders, known as the Njuri Ncheke, and elected officials. This unique interplay has often created a delicate balance between respecting traditional governance and embracing the democratic process. However, in the past few years, this balance has been disrupted. The county has experienced rising political tension

WHY IT'S CRITICAL FOR A CHRIST-FOLLOWER

Putting on the whole Armor of God is important for any Christian that has given their lives to Christ and are following His teachings.  An armor is a garment made up of metallic pieces or other resistant material that are used to protect the body of the combatant. The armor of God represents the defense that Christians must take in their spiritual lives. As the Bible informs us, we (Christians) are at war with the devil, Satan, who wants to destroy the children of God. As Ephesians 6:10-18 tells us that for Christians to be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, they should be fully armed with the whole Armor of God. Christians battle against rulers and authorities in their daily lives, that is, the powerful evil forces of fallen angels who are headed by Satan a vicious fighter. 1 Peter 5:8 says, "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." This is a perfect scripture showing us the importance of

LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL FOR MWANGAZA?

The Meru Members of County Assembly (MCAs) have filed a motion to impeach Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza. This supremacy battle between Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza and the MCAs has reached boiling point as the impeachment motion has been drafted and signed by 68 of the 69 MCAs. A Meru MCA, who also doubles as the Minority Chief  Whip, has presented a petition before the Meru County Assembly seeking to have Governor Kawira Mwangaza impeached. The Abogeta West MCA, Dennis Kiogora, points to various grounds for impeaching the governor, saying that the governor has infringed the Leadership and Integrity act of Section 10 in the constitution. Kawira’s decision to appoint her husband Baichu Murega as the patron of the Meru Youth Service and ‘Hustlers’ ambassador is one of the grounds cited for her removal. Only Kiagu MCA, Simon Ngaruni, did not sign the motion saying that Kawira had done nothing wrong to warrant impeachment. He said when the governor wanted to address the MCAs last month, t

As people would say; 'Ogopa KOT (Fear KOT.) KOT is an abbreviation of Kenyans On Twitter.

THE AMERUCAN DILEMMA

Image
With the saga that has been going on for weeks in Meru county after the MCAs ganged up against their governor who is a woman, many questions arise. The questions criss-crossing a lady, from another tribe, dating a Merian man are wild especially after witnessing all the saga that went down. "Is this the kind of ego I'm going to deal with?" Is one of the many questions in her mind. The lass dating the Merian man might be afraid that her partner's ego might over-power him and she might be the one facing it rough. For the first time in history, Meru is being led by a woman who is also a bishop. As Merians and anyone residing in Meru would say: 'Gavana ii mama.' (Governor is a woman.) This might have come as culture shock to the men in Meru as now the women are becoming the 'heads.' But the bigger question should be: "Will the men from Meru feel intimidated?"  Will other men from other tribes be willing to freely mingle and date Merian girls? Afte

ALARMING CRIME RATES IN THE CITY!

 Ever heard of  'Nairobi shamba la mawe' (Nairobi land of stones๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ if directly translated). This is a saying metaphorically used by most if not all Nairobians who have experienced and seen it all. The crime rates and robbery are increasing at an alarming rate. These killer thugs are more than audacious to steal from 'common mwananchi' even in broad daylight. Cases of people getting stabbed, even in broad daylight, have become rampant. The norm around the city, if I should say. Both young and old, men and women are these gangsters' audience; as they do not choose who to mug. Most of these cases of people getting robbed and killed are in:  KCA Underpass and Total Exit. ABC Place and Kangemi along Waiyaki Way. Drive-In Flyover up to KCA. Naivas Allsops along Thika Super Highway. The CBD, Archives. River Road. Fig Tree Area. Koja. Pangani. Kasarani. Mwiki. Railways. Globe Round-about. Dagoretti. KBC offices area, among other areas. These killer thugs are stealing any
