History and Future Of Ruling Parties In Kenya

As a good student of History & Politics, I tend to Comprehend Karl Marx words, "History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce." Looking at History of Ruling Political Parties in Kenya, I get the following scenarios; 1. President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta belonged to KANU throughout his presidency. 2. President Moi belonged to KADU and KANU to become president after demise of mzee Jomo Kenyatta 3. President Mwai Kibaki belonged to NARC and PNU in his ruling. 4. President Uhuru Kenyatta belonged or belong to TNA and Jubilee Party. With that I can deduct and substantiate the fact that; 1. Since the end of Nyayo regime, retiring presidents retire with their Political Parties and Kenyans are concerned less with them and their Political parties as it was the case of Moi & his KANU, Kibaki & his PNU and same it will be with Uhuru & his Jubilee. 2. After the demise of President Jomo Kenyatta, there has been NO same ruling party transition of Powers. KANU transf...

Kenya's Political Parties Need Regulations

Kenya's Democracy has been a multi-party system before June 1982 and since 1992 after the repealing of Section 2A of the Independence Constitution of Kenya by President Moi that marked the end of one party-system.  Despite Kenya being a multi-party system, in reality, Kenya is a two-party system as it has always been dominated by two Political Parties  only or two coalitions since independence where all other hundreds of Political parties play a role of spectators in Kenya's Politics. Political Parties in Kenya Since 1992 to 2007, the political parties in Kenya rose from one party to over 160 Political parties. But, with establishment and implementation of Political Parties Act 2008 and 2012, the numbers of political parties were reduced from over 160 Political Parties to 24 Political Parties which gained registration certificates.

Dear Great People Of Muranga

Dear Great People Of Muranga County I salute you all in the name of our Almighty God! First of all, I take this golden opportunity to thank our Almighty God and appreciate you all for your continued support. Without you, I would never have been able to come this far. I give thanks to God for you and may God give you grace and peace!

ADOPTION As Children Of God

The Christian doctrine of adoption is one of the greatest truths in all of the Bible. It is described as “an act of God’s free grace, whereby undeserving and unworthy sinners are received into the family of God and can enjoy all the rights, privileges and blessings as a member of God’s forever family.” It is a truth that is seldom taught and even less rejoiced in as we should. Adoption is a teaching that should be shouted from the rooftops! Adoption is a Biblical term and connotes a Biblical idea or truth. Ephesians 1:5 declares that it is one of the predestined purposes of God…”having predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will. This is a truth that stands so intimately and fundamentally related to other doctrines such as predestination, the atonement, all aspects of our spiritual life and the very consummation of the entire universe! Adoption teaches us that the Biblical God is our Father. God adopts us. He chooses us! We are His chi...
