I would love to be asked a question by someone way older than myself probably 50 years of age or older ’Do generation Y’s have a problem?’ ‘Absolutely’ that would be my answer, but I would go further and add that we are not the problem, but we do have a problem. Having a problem is not such a bad thing, and our problem is not entirely unique. In high school I remember one of my teachers complaining about how we always want explanations, explanations, explanations, it used to drive...

I would not understand who in their right mind would like to be the Chief Executive Officer of Kenya. Let’s call a spade a spade and not a big spoon; you know things are thick when the people in charge of holding our very fabric of society are striking. First it was the teachers, this being a recurring theme the last 20 years. Then we had the Lecturers strike and they got sorted out despite a lot of acrimony. That was last week, now in less than 2 weeks time our doctors, who in the first...

It happens a lot; politicians take advantage of their constituent’s naivety and end up pulling unbelievable policies right in front of them, feeling nothing. For instance the constant rise in fuel costs, how can it be constantly going up. Since the inception of ERC, has the cost of fuel ever gone down? What really is the mandate of the so called Energy Regulatory Commission? In my view the cost of fuel right now is just not justified.
Sure we can mount an Arab spring, call it an...

Am not taking anything away from the good people of brand Kenya, they have been outstanding. Creating an awareness of why we need to be part of building and loving Kenya is highly commendable, and they deserve a collective pat on the back from all of us. What I want to emphasize is the fact that most of us, city folks especially, have been ostracized for being well, city folks. People say city folks are spoilt, cerelac raised, soft; they speak funny and so on and so forth. The truth is, city...

Have you ever had to make a presentation to a panel or a group of people who are experts in the field in which your presentation is based? Those are tough customers, for instance in graduate school you could be making a finance presentation to bankers and accountants, there is no way in which you can wiggle your way out until your presentation makes sense. You need to be prepared and if you are not they will eat you alive. The best thing about it is, if they do eat you alive, it is not such a...

It’s debatable, what constitutes the greatest Hollywood one liner in film history. Most agree it has to be Clark Gable’s immortal line in gone in the wind, when he tells the she devil Scarlet O’Hara played by Vivian Leigh ‘frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.’ When it comes to cult classics, Al pacino is regarded as the king of one liner’s. If you have watched Scarface am sure you all remember the classic line ‘meet my little friend’ as he pulls out a mother of a...

Today is once in a millennia day, 11/11/11; the religious fundamentalists and other extreme right wing groups will all have theories on the significance of this day. In the day of an ordinary Kenyan, does today have any significance, well it can have. The silent majority who do not really care what day today is are probably going on about their business just like any other day.
For an aspiring politician, today is the best day to start a political campaign, starting 11/11/11 and ending...

Editors Note
In my last article, Neo-Oppression(1), I wrote about how the old forms of subjugation have been replaced with more subtle but equally devastating forms of oppression. Today I would like to tackle specifically the issue of sexism as portrayed by the chauvinistic men in our society. Sexism is so prevalent in African culture (and male culture as a whole) that we had to put a clause that protects women in our new constitution.
