The prerequisite for greatness is the people that know their God!

By
The people that know their God, have a relationship with their God. You will be surprised of the huge number of people who go to church every Sunday and are not settled in their relationship with God. They love the idea of God but not necessarily the reality of God; they have unresolved issues with God. Many people clap and sing and shout and are not remotely convinced that God even loves them. Many of us have been taught the kind of faith which says that; you have to earn his love - and at the back of your mind you’re not sure that you have paid the bill to be good enough to have his love and because you are not settled in your relationship with God, you can’t work the promises of God because you really are not sure he is talking to you. God does not care for you….if God cared about you, why would you be in the mess you are in?  voices that say, either you are not good enough for God or God has not been good enough to you for you to be sure that he loves you. As suc...

What have we learnt from a 15,000 Euro Youth project support by the International Secretariat?

By
Since joining Busiki LRP, I have heard the Youth being christened all sorts of names. The one I hear most is, “the youth are the most disoriented and most tasking lot to work with”. Well, the Youth themselves vehemently disagree and usually give truck-loads of reasons for this, in their defense. There’s an adage that says, “ Never judge a book by its cover” . Young people who are jobless, sidelined, have no opportunities, are not integrated into community issues fully and have no foundational skills are a liability and a high risk to a Country. Any Country! Whilst still working on its baby steps in relation to Youth, Busiki LRP received 15,000 Euros to implement a Youth Project that focused on supported Youth to develop skills for economic self-reliance beyond formal employment. Not only empower and strategically anchor them for leadership, communication and most importantly, constitutionalism as well as outlets to identify and nurture their talents. Programmatic interventions...

... My Conscious is clear!

By
What has been said of me is true. I offer no arguments nor dispute to the simple facts, but they hardly begin to cover the scope of my true crimes. Honor requires more than admition, so I offer a full confession and the whole truth. For far too long I have failed to recognize my own hypocrisy, I ignored my own cowardice conveniently hiding behind a position of political compromise, and for what? To retain the meager wealth and rank than men desire. So I come before you a condemned man for having finally stood up to injustice. My shame and regret is that I failed to do so before it arrived in my own court. We supply the armies, we build the roads, and we employ the nation. Still we remain silent while our coffers are emptied and our freedoms eroded. There will be times where we are powerless to injustice but there must never be a time where we fail to protest. This being, known as individualism is a cancer growing and the only proper thing to do is to cut it out. You all know what I...

Foreign aid eroding Kenya's fabric!

By
There is a fundamental mistake in the understanding of the issues of foreign policy by the government of Kenya. We can not continue making policies on the basis of support that Kenya gets from the developed Nations. It is not sustainable, effective and beyond that, can not work. Our responsibility as a Nation is to charter a path on how we can develop our Nation. President Thomas Sankara did it jointly with the people of Bukinabe (now, Bukina Faso). It is a sorry state to have a Country like Kenya which is an East African power house with a leading economy having more than half its budget being funded by the foreign states while what is collected locally is mismanaged, and stolen - shamelessly. By now, Kenya SHOULD be in a position to finance its basic needs, if its going to be on course to achieve the 17 SDGs and the Country’s blue print of 2030. If we are going to look at the next fifty or so years to be a mid or second world economy, we can not co...

I’ve wronged my society calling myself a human-god, calling myself a prophet!

By
Though overdue, today fall down on my knees and repent to you my God, my family and society. I have committed many wrongs and many more evils by my position, the position that the society entrusted in me. Forgive me! I have wronged the society calling myself a human-god, called myself a prophet. Almighty God, kindly remember my soul, I am now on my knees I promise to obey you. The time has come for me fellow Kenyans, the things that I did in darkness I now set light upon them. Since I asked for your votes, votes which you overwhelmingly gave me therein entrusting your tomorrow with me, instead I caused an economic melt-down. Votes became food, I flourished on bribes and slowly by steadily I changed my taste in life and societal class becoming one of the few affluent. I insisted so much on issues of employment, but inside the lair that I am, I passed out positions overlooking merit at will making my leadership lose focus - it’s better to have mere leadership than good leadershi...
