Actually this thing of time is much more serious than what you think and it is even spiritual because we are given time and all of us are given the exact same amount of time. T he billionaire entrepreneur has exactly the same time on his hands to spend every day as the poor man living in a slum somewhere in Kibra, Nairobi. What most of us don't realize is that this time we have in our hands all the time, we will have to account for all of it one day. We will have to account for our time from the one who gave it to us. You're not here by accident you were brought here and you were given time to accomplish your mission not mine or anybody else's your particular mission on earth. And you were given a certain time in which to accomplish it (70 years to be precise give or take).  Time is much more precious than gold, money, silver, precious metals Time should be looked at like money  because indeed it is even more precious than money because you can lose money and you can recove

Why do Africans treat time like it is a joke? Is African culture wasting time and never being on time? One of the major differences in culture between the first world and the so-called third world countries like Kenya is the way people treat time. And the saddest thing of all is that many people turn the whole thing into a joke.  You will hear; Africans are not in a hurry, they do their things slowly. That is the general verdict and of course things are made worse by such popular African proverbs like haraka haraka haina baraka  which is swahili for there is no blessing in being in a hurry.  Whilst many of us get, sadly we still take it as a joke. To us it is not something very serious after all we are living our lives things are happening. I'm an African and I've done this and that, I have developed myself, I've helped develop my country. So what is the big deal now? Time shock I'm going to shock some of you. Actually this thing of time is much more serious than what y

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), which is in charge of supervising elections in Kenya, was until recently headed by Wafula Wanyonyi Chebukati, its immediate past chairperson.  Chebukati is regarded as the most despised person in Kenya at the moment since he is held accountable for "cooking" the results of the presidential election, which he revealed while reading off a piece of paper rather than the ones that had been officially confirmed by all the commissioners. The Supreme Court of Kenya received a petition about the presidential election as a result of his conduct and the lack of openness in the way the election results were communicated. However the highest court in the land still sanctioned "Chebukati's winner" as the duly elected president to the utter shock of most Kenyans. We know that in January 2017, Uhuru Kenyatta, the former president of Kenya, named Wafula Chebukati to the position for a six-year term. But some rather int

Full Video:   Jaswant Singh Rai controversy: On the same day that Kenya was plunged into darkness with a power outage that lasted more than 20 hours, magnate Jaswant Rai was kidnapped in the Kilimani area. That was on August 25th 2023, and since that day, the drama has not ceased. Indeed it has escalated and included the head of state. President Ruto in remarks that the nation is still reeling from threatened deportation, jail and even worse for individuals of Asian origin who are known to be Kenyan nationals. Rights groups have since demanded of the president that the remarks be withdrawn and an apology given. What is really going on here with a storm that was triggered so quickly and almost from nowhere? This Kumekucha video digs deeper than anybody else has so far to bring you some stunning info and fresh insights that will take most completely by surprise.

Cops ignored the CCTV as Rai was being kidnapped? Believe it or not the Kilimani area has a lot of plain clothes policemen doing patrols virtually all the time. And that is not all. The input from the CCTV cameras in the area are being monitored all the time and this is not heresay or information from a trusted source. This is in fact something I know for a fact because something happened to me once, fairly recently, in the Kilimani area that proved to me beyond any doubt that this information is 100 percent correct. Bottom line... you don't do this kind of crime in that particular area and get anywhere... within a few meters you will be nabbed and that's for sure. Mainly because of the security setup in the area. But these people who took Jaswant Rai were super confident and they got clean away with it.  They were also very careful in choosing their very specific spot to grab the billionaire businessman. The whole idea was to avoid a CCTV camera capturing them in great detail.

The foundations of the Turkwell Gorge Hydro Electric Dam Project were laid in 1986 and finished by French organization Spie Batignolles in 1991.  The development of the dam is one of the biggest scandals in Kenya's energy sector. Experts warned early that there was not enough water in the seasonal rivers in the area to sustain the project and that trying to "force through" the project would result in serious environmental issues over time, including degradation. But powerful characters in Moi's government soldiered on with big pay offs in mind and nothing else. In the end there were numerous cases of over-charging, no natural appraisals or feasibility studies that made any sense. And instead of an open tender as is required by Kenyan law, Nicholas Biwott and George Saitoti handpicked a French company to complete the project. It was widely rumoured that the two cabinet ministers made a fortune from a project that continues to cost the tax payer a lot of money just to k

Is Nicholas Biwott corruption beginning to hit Kenya even harder?  Nicholas Biwott was a man who does not take "no" for an answer. Whether it was from a chamber maid in Auckland whom he admires or the top seat in Kanu that he wanted, the man just never gave up.  Kenyans have accused Biwott of many things. But what they are not aware of is that this was one man who doggedly followed his objective and would not quit until he had his "prize" in his hands. Many who crossed his path and lived to tell the story, will tell you that you don't mess with Nicholas Biwott. Towards the end of his life, topmost on his mind was to protect the ill-gotten wealth he accumulated during Daniel Moi's 24 years in power. He was successful in doing just that through the Kibaki regime and that is why behind the scenes he fought hard against ODM ever coming into power. Together with his old buddy Daniel Moi, Biwott plotted for nothing short of the obliteration of ODM. Of course it wa

============ In a politically charged atmosphere, reminiscent of the theatre of Greek tragedies, the Brigadier John Kiboko funeral in Nyandarua recently became a battleground for Kenyan politics. The protagonists? Raila Odinga, an iconic figure on the political scene, and Rigathi Gachagua, the shoot from the mouth and think later Deputy President.  But, one might ask, what precipitated this clash? What were the underlying tensions that boiled over into this public spectacle?  The whole drama started when Raila pointed out that the UDA government was not serious about the welfare of former freedom fighters.   Gachagua, when it was his turn to speak, spoke like he had been stung. But what were the real issues here that touch not only on the Mau mau but on the very fate of long suffering Kenyans today? The Heart of the Matter  At the core of this clash lies a profound disagreement over the role of government in the welfare of the citizens, symbolised by the Mau Mau freedom fighters. "

Kenya Power board chairperson Joy Mdivo-Masinde on Saturday tried to explain exactly what caused the nationwide blackout on Friday evening. And in the process she threw a spanner into the works and added even more mystery into the issue. According to Mdivo, the supply was affected by the Turkana power station losing electricity, which caused the outage. She explained that the grid is set up so that when up to 4% of the required power is missing, other powered portions of the grid pick up the slack. However the grid was unable to handle the Friday situation since the loss was greater than the 4 percent loss. Since Turkana is down, the grid is suddenly left with a lot less electricity than usual. As a result, just a few substations have been powered back up with the remaining power. This contradicts what the Turkana officials have said. They have emphasized that Lake Turkana Wind Power (LTWP) was forced to cease its power generation due to an overvoltage situation in the national grid

Unveiling the Ruto/Raila Mombasa Secret Meeting   The clandestine meeting in Mombasa, shrouded in mystery and political intrigue, occurred amidst an atmosphere of political tension and speculation. Were the President and Raila meeting in secret, away from the public eye, to strategise, or was this mere coincidence? The specifics of their interaction remain undisclosed, but the implications are far from insignificant. It is a development that raises more questions than it answers.  One might ask, why would two influential figures of the Kenyan political scene choose to meet in such secrecy? What could possibly have been discussed that necessitated such discretion? The uncertainty surrounding these questions is only exacerbated by Deputy President Gachagua's cryptic remarks in Machakos ( wamemalizana , he said), which serve to increase the mystery rather than shed any light on the situation.  An Unexpected Twist   In a surprising turn of events, the Nation's exclusive report reve

There is a very good reason why Kenyan news and politics has been dominated over the last 48 hours or so by the troubles of former Kakamega governor Wycliffe Oparanya and Sports CS Ababu Namwamba, both hailing from the Mulembe nation... but something potentially game-changing is unfolding behind the scenes. Kenyan news and politics has been dominated over the last 48 hours or so by the troubles of former Kakamega governor Wycliffe Oparanya and Sports CS Ababu Namwamba, both hailing from the Mulembe nation. Actually the troubles of those two individuals on opposite sides of the political divide are closely linked and intertwined and yet another confirmation that in the Ruto administration we are back to the Moi days. Moi, a man who took the helm of a nation grappling with the aftershocks of Jomo Kenyatta's autocratic reign, managed to stay in power for a staggering 24 years using a little secret that has now been implemented by UDA. In those days with KANU as the only party, dis

Probing the Depths of the DCI  David Mayaka Mire   The enigma of the Mayaka case, with its labyrinthine twists and turns, has undoubtedly thrown the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) into uncharted waters. Yet, one cannot help but wonder: is this a genuine mystery, or is there a more sinister ploy at play? An insidious cover-up, perhaps?  The departure of the astute, George Kinoti, from the DCI's helm has left a perceptible void, one that seems to be felt most acutely amidst the quagmire of the Mayaka investigation. Kinoti, with his keen investigative acumen and unwavering commitment to justice, was known to cut through the murk with an almost surgical precision. In his absence, the DCI appears to be floundering in dark waters.  "The DCI seems to be grappling in the dark, and the Mayaka case is fast becoming more puzzling than the crime itself." Without Kinoti's guiding hand, the DCI's investigations have taken a seemingly perplexing turn. Speculations

Strange thing that happened in State House: William Ruto hosts Luhya leaders at State house and there are many prominent faces missing. One of these leaders locked out of the meeting complains. What is going on here for a president who desperately needs the populous Luhya not only to survive in office but for any future political ambitions he may have? It is difficult not to perceive Ruto's absence of certain Luhya leaders as a calculated, Machiavellian manoeuvre. Is it an attempt to destabilise the unity of Luhya leaders, thereby reducing their collective bargaining power? Or is it a careful ploy, a tactic to create divisions that he can exploit for his own political gain? This strategy, while effective in the short term, could prove detrimental to Ruto's future political ambitions. Does the President not realise that to alienate key Luhya figures might lead to a significant loss of support in the long term or an open rebellion at some point? Or perhaps, this is a risk Ruto is
