Throughout history, ideas have been changing the world, transforming society and civilization and improving human welfare in many ways! Negative ideas move society backwards. In this article we will dwell on positive ideas as part and parcel of leadership as a major pillar of development! Good leaders are said to be visionary and adaptive and […]
We have mentioned elsewhere before that Kenya’s public health system is among the best in the world! The only problem is that it lacks essentials and modernization, a factor that causes its current problem including the ongoing Doctors’ strike. For things to get better, the Kenyan authorities and all the stakeholders need to tackle the […]
We have indicated in another article that people, both collectively and as distinct individuals, are the core pillar of development! As such, they initiate development goals and programmes and plans for such goals. They draw up the development agenda and also implement all the plans! They, too, provide the human capital at every stage of […]
We know that peace is always important for any society, community, peoples, individuals and nations! It is so important that society should never let it slip away even for a day! It is important that it be given every opportunity to take root and thrive in every place always! It is indeed important that all […]
Education, as we know, is key to development! First, it makes individuals truly civilized by helping them build and strengthen their character!

Report that Kenya Airways made a record loss during the last financial year have raised a lot of outcry from Kenyans and other people in Kenya. The airline is known to have kept making profits in the past when other airlines were making losses. That, as we know, was not accidental! It was under the […]
We have often indicated here and elsewhere in other fora the need for the world and society to be decisive in ensuring peace! For true peace, the culture of violence, we have argued before and still argue, must be tactfully but decisively ended! First, Violence is deadly, heinous, bloody and destructive! Secondly, humankind does not […]
Kenya had a very good Constitution at its independence! The supreme law which was negotiated by diverse Kenyan communities and the Colonial Administration was very strong and spelt a federal system of government for the country with each region in Kenya enjoying federal autonomy. The devolved system of government was meant to prevent what Kenya’s […]
Quite often, people talk about hatred as if it is just a word. They hardly know how inhuman, dehumanizing and excruciatingly agonizing it can be until (God forbid!) they get subjected to it! Victim of hatred know truly well the pain and injustice it causes! No one of course will want to be subjected to […]
Modern society, regrettably, is faced with some challenges it must courageously and decisively tackle! Rising cases of violence in the world are a trend that must be reversed! World governments, in our view, have the resources, ways and means of ending the culture of violence and injustice and ensure peace and fair and just play […]
Organized society is unique! It is designed and built deliberately to ensure all humans co-exist in harmony. That of course is why laws are enacted to ensure such harmonious co-existence! However, we know that organized society is as diverse as there are nations, races, peoples, tribes and states enjoying legal, cultural and political sovereignty and […]
Positive change is good and essential for society and the people! Any progressive, civilized society should always keep improving by carrying out positive change continually! If society keeps improving, it stays strong and can never ever make mistakes that can hurt society and harm the people! It is notable that many groups, people, societies, communities, […]
Violence is a problem that society is better off without. We have often argued for the urgent need and necessity to end the culture of all forms of violence, abuses, injustice, exclusion, invidious discrimination, killings, corruption, impunity, trickery, sophistry and intolerance amongst other vices and malpractices. It is thus both discouraging and extremely saddening that […]

We have always indicated, as we will indeed continue doing, that peace is always important in all places i.e. within homesteads, in local communities, regionally, nationally and internationally or indeed globally. Peace is indeed vitally important in every nook, street, road, highway, village, township, […]
Human beings as a species, Homo sapiens, are the only creatures who have a conscience. They are able to distinguish between right and wrong. They can tell between evil and good. They are able to choose what to do and may opt not to do anything at all. Moreover, humans are the only creatures who […]
All people everywhere desire to be free and happy. They indeed desire to enjoy peace freely and be fully able to undertake their day-to-day and all other activities without worry, fear or hindrance. They always desire to be able to work at whatever they wish to do and achieve freedom from want and gain the […]
Peace, as we all know, is never an event. It is a process. It is in fact a journey that never ends. It is a process that is marked by proactive problem-solving and continual positive change. People and society forget that and put all in society at risk. That is indeed why Sria, Egypt, the […]
Of late there has been tension in Kenya between civil society, the public and constitutional commissions on one hand and parliament on the other. The bone of contention has centred on Parliament’s demand for commensurate pay for its members. The salaries of members of parliament(MPs) in Kenya were reduced selectively while those of the commissions […]
Today we live in a literally diverse world. Globalization has made almost every community, place, city, town, even village, and so on, a meeting point of individuals of diverse origins, backgrounds, cultures, etc. People who speak totally different languages and hailing from different places live and work together or study together. The modern world is […]
