JUBILEE V CORD

Posted on 12th June 201612th June 2016 by PJM

In Nairobi the biggest tribe – President, many employers, employees and generally successful is the: Kikuyu

The biggest slum – Kibera and many others are inhabited by Luo people that arrived in Nairobi from the Kisumu area, could not find a job and ended up in a slum.

The politicians divide these 2 communities for their own benefit (votes):

rich v poor;
Kikuyu v Luo
employed v unemployed
housed v slums
Jubilee coalition v Cord coalition

Very bad situation

Education needs to break down these barriers

Kenya in the modern world – use of Media to stop inter-tribal violence

Posted on 10th June 201612th June 2016 by PJM

Tribes belong firmly in the past – it was a survival system applicable to a 100 years ago – not today.

Educate young Kenyans as to where they fit into the world……………….

The people of Kenya are foremost: Kenyan

Secondly: East African

Thirdly: African

Forth: Citizens of the world

Tribalism: has no part to play – reject it.

Be proud Kenyan. Support Kenyan athletes etc

East African – get Kenyans to accept that they are part of the East African Region (EAC) – not to dominate it – but to cooperate for the overall benefit of the region. No internal squabbling but mutual cooperation.

African – important – especially to understand how Africa fits into the world. Trade relations. Minerals etc

Citizens of the world – do no leave all decisions to Europe, USA, China etc. African countries as members of the

UN and other organisations must play their part

Politics

Posted on 9th June 201612th June 2016 by PJM

Uhuru Kenyatta was elected president of Kenya under The National Alliance (TNA), which was part of the Jubilee Alliance with his running mate William Ruto’s United Republican Party (URP). Uhuru and Ruto won 50.07% of votes cast, with closest rivals, Raila Odinga and running mate Kalonzo Musyoka of the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy garnering 42%. Raila disputed the election results at the Supreme Court which however held (7–0) that the election of Uhuru was valid and such irregularities as existed did not make a difference to the final outcome . Uhuru Kenyatta was therefore sworn in as President on 9 April 2013.

The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy is a coalition of multiple political parties, built around the triumvirate of Raila Odinga,Kalonzo Musyoka, and Moses Wetangula, to contest the Kenya General elections of 2013. The members of the coalition are Orange Democratic Movement, Wiper Democratic Movement, FORD-Kenya, Kenya Social Congress, The Independent Party, KADU–Asili,Peoples Democratic Party, Mkenya Solidarity Movement, Chama Cha Uzalendo, Muungano Development Movement Party of Kenya,United Democratic Movement, Chama Cha Mwananchi, Federal Party of Kenya, Labour Party of Kenya Following the hotly contested elections that saw Jubilee alliance win, Cord filed a petition contesting the results. The Supreme Court rejected Cord’s petition and declared Kenyatta the president-elect.

The Coalition of Reforms and Democracy (CORD) is currently the official opposition party in Kenya. It has a wide support in Kenya with roughly 50% of the Electorate in Kenya.

Malaria vaccine for the children of Kenya?

Posted on 26th July 20158th September 2015 by PJM

The worlds most advanced malaria vaccine, Mosquirix^TM, produced by Glaxo Smith Kline plc (GSK) could start to be rolled out in Africa within 12 months. You can see the full press release from GSK on their website

The vaccine is aimed at young children and has received a positive response from the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use last week. But the eventual roll-out of the vaccine in sub-Saharan Africa is dependent on a number of factors, not least decisions from the World Health Organization, individual governments and the Vaccines Alliance (GAVI), which is expected to subsidise the immunization programs.

Regardless of the obstacles to yet be overcome, this breakthrough in research is fantastic news and may save many lives in Kenya. So we welcome this development from GSK and look forward to both government and funding approval as soon as possible.
