Where the Hell is Moses Kuria?

It seems Moses Kuria, the man of many portfolios, embarked on a whirlwind adventure through the halls of government, only to find himself in a comedic conundrum. Starting off strong as the Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade, and Industry, he was the talk of the town. But alas, fate had other plans. In a twist fit for a sitcom, Kuria found himself shuffled over to the Public Service portfolio faster than you can say "bureaucratic shuffle". Then, the plot thickened! In a classic case of diplomatic drama, the US Trade Representative, Katherine Tai, decided to give Kuria a cold shoulder after cancelling not one, but two meetings with him. The reason? His "foul mouth". Oh, the irony! It seems even the most seasoned politicians can't escape the wrath of a sharp tongue. Since then, Kuria has seemingly vanished into thin air, keeping a low profile that would make even Bigfoot jealous. Rumour has it he's taken up residence in a cozy cave somewhere, pondering th

Alfred Ng'ang'a Mutua has lost the plot

I came across some advertisements in Ng'ang'a site (http://www.communication.go.ke/ukweli/default.asp) and I'm amazed at the lengths Kibaki will go to entrench himself in power. All he'd have to do to stop the upheaval would be to call for a recount. But he, like everyone else, knows Raila won in 6 Provinces, and he could only manage Central and Eastern. I don't know about you guys but this looks like solid propaganda to me... and why are they targeting Maina Kiai? He's the only person who's listening to the actual wananchi, if you ask me. Personally, I find Ng'ang'a's novice attempt at propaganda laughable, and quite honestly, very desperate. Judge for yourselves...











And here's a real gem from the good doctor, and now writer of local soap operas extraordinaire:


WHY GOVERNMENT HAS CANCELLED LIVE BROADCAST
The Government by requesting media houses not to air live press conferences and call-ins into radio shows wants to empower editors to be in control of the information relayed by their media houses.

In the prevailing environment, some people are using the media to call for violence and to incite members of the public to engage in violence. By running these comments live, at the prevailing emotional state of many citizens, can be dangerous. However, editors are free to screen whatever they want a few minutes later after they have reviewed the material.

Technically other than breaking news there isnt too much in terms of live broadcasts on tv.
Because even news is edited before time for clarity and time. Not to say that I agree with what the muzzling of the media but we both know that editors can choose to broadcast the exact same thing they were going to broadcast live.
