    Political activist cum lawyer Miguna Miguna on Saturday, December 19 expressed his interest in the Nairobi gubernatorial seat following the impeachment of Governor Mike Sonko.

    The exiled author who had vied for the same seat in 2017 on an independent ticket stated via twitter that the decision comes after receiving legal advice from constitutional lawyer Waikwa Wanyoike.

    “Having received competent legal advice…I Miguna Miguna, a Kenyan citizen by birth and registered voter in Nairobi, hereby declare my candidature for the position of Governor of Nairobi in the upcoming by-election,” he declared.

    The fiery lawyer had on Friday taken to his twitter account to criticize the ousted governor, claiming that the latter had been imposed on Nairobians by President Uhuru Kenyatta, as he quoted his statements from the 2017 gubernatorial debate.

    “My friend Sonko is looting every land in Nairobi. He has a criminal record from Mombasa where he was jailed because of fraud, forgery and drug dealing,” claimed Miguna during the debate held at Daystar University.

    The seat fell vacant after the ouster of former Governor Mike Sonko by the senate on December 17, on accounts of gross violation of the constitution or any other law, abuse of office, gross misconduct and crimes under national law.

    Nairobi county assembly speaker, Benson Mutura, takes over as interim governor given the absence of a deputy governor since the resignation of Polycarp Igathe in January, 2018. According to Article 182(4) of the constitution, the speaker of the county assembly shall act as county governor with an election to the office of county governor being held within sixty days after the speaker assumes the office of county governor. 

    The speaker’s swearing-in ceremony that had been scheduled for Friday 18 had to be postponed following the late arrival of the judge assigned to preside over the ceremony.

    Reactions Following Announcement

    Kenyans have taken to twitter to react to offer their thoughts, with most of their sentiments directed towards the self-proclaimed general of the National Resistance Movement (NRM). Notable was blogger Robert Alai’s remarks which warned Nairobians against voting for the ‘general’.

    “Replacing Sonko with Miguna is like replacing Wahome of Helicopter with Kanyari. Mad men! Zero work!” stated Alai.

  • Kenya orders 24M doses of COVID-19 Vaccine

    Kenya has joined other countries in securing Covid-19 vaccines and has ordered 24 million doses from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. This is enough to cover 20% of the country’s population.
    Acting director-general of health, Dr Patrick Amoth said that each dose will be about $3 (Sh320) and cost the country a total of Sh10 billion.

    The amount is already heavily discounted by Gavi through donations from several developed countries, the World Bank and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, among others. “The first to be vaccinated will be frontline workers, then the vulnerable and the elderly,” said Amoth. He, however, did not specify a timeframe but vaccines are expected early next year.


    Amoth said that Gavi has signed agreements with manufacturers of about nine vaccine candidates. Kenya therefore did not dictate which vaccine to receive, but the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine will be ideal for the country because it fits within its cold chain supply system.

    Kenya also launched clinical trials for the AstraZeneca vaccine in Kilifi in October. An emergency use approval is yet to be granted by the Health Ministry.
    “Once they get approval from the European Medicines Agency and in the UK, then we will also consider granting such authorization in Kenya,” said Amoth.


    The announcement means Kenya has applied for the largest number of doses in East Africa.
    Last week on Thursday, Uganda’s Health Ministry, said it ordered 9 million doses to cover 20% of the country’s population.
    “Plans are underway to secure additional doses of the vaccine to cover more people,” said the Ugandan Ministry in a statement.


    Rwanda’s Minister of Health Daniel Ngamije on Sunday also announced they had applied for either the AstraZeneca or the Moderna vaccine. He, however, did not say how many doses they had applied for but hoped they would be the among the first African countries to receive them.

    Egypt applied for 20 million doses from Gavi and expected to receive the AstraZeneca vaccine.
    Gavi is supplying Covid-19 vaccines to 92 developing countries including Kenya through a facility called Covax. Covax was created by Gavi, UNICEF and the WHO to deliver two billion doses of Covid-19 vaccines by the end of 2021. The facility says it has already secured millions of ready-made doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca candidate, ready for distribution to the 92 developing countries.


    Experts say although there won’t be enough vaccines for every Kenyan, getting the shots to the right people could help tame the pandemic.

    President Uhuru Kenyatta has directed that all schools reopen in January 2021 as the country continues battling the COVID-19 pandemic.


    The Head of State instructed that the Interior Ministry, through all Chiefs and Assistant Chiefs to ensure that all students report to school at the beginning of next year.
    “We remain on course for the resumption of learning in all classes effective the 4th of January 2021, with the safety of our learners being our top priority,” said President Kenyatta during Jamhuri Day celebrations at Nyayo Stadium.
    “In that regard, and in line with the policy of the Government on universal and compulsory basic education for all children up to 18 years, all parents and guardians are required to facilitate their children to resume learning in January 2021,” added President Kenyatta.

    The Ministry of Education in consultation with the Health Ministry has developed sector-specific protocols and guidelines to facilitate the reopening of all learning institution.


    The President added that the Ministry of Education shall receive reports from all primary and secondary schools on the identity and details of any student who shall not report to school.
    He also directed that the Education Ministry facilitate the resumption of learning for all learners who had dropped out of school due to pregnancy.
    “That the Ministry of Education shall re-issue and publicize the Education Policy on School Re-Entry, so as to facilitate the re-admission of all those who may not be able to report back due to pregnancies,” said the President. Even with the pandemic, the Head of State assured that no learner will be left behind.


    All schools in Kenya will reopen next month after nine months of closure due to the coronavirus pandemic. The government had already begun phased reopening of Grade 4, Class 8 and Form 4 students returning to school on October 12, 2020.


    Last week, the National Council Churches of Kenya (NCCK) called on the government to review the planned re-opening of all schools citing the recent surge of COVID-19 cases in the country.
    NCCK General Secretary Canon Chris Kinyanjui cautioned the situation risks the lives of teachers, students and parents.
    “We propose that the decision that all learners will resume in-school learning on January 5, 2021, be reviewed and proper measures be put in place to avoid a surge in new infections,” Kinyanjui said last week.

    Kenya has more women than men according to the 2019 census results.

    Of the total population of 47,564,296, 24,014,716 are female which translates to 50.5% of the population while 23,548,056 are male and 1,524 are Intersex.

    The 2019 census results released by Kenya National Bureau of Statics Director General Zachary Mwangi at State House also indicate that the Country’s population has increased from 37.7 Million in 2009 to 47.6 Million in 2019.

    Mwangi said the intercensal growth rate has declined to 2.2% in 2019, from 2.9% in 2009 while the average household size has declined to 3.9 in 2019 from 4.2 in 2009.

    Nairobi County has the highest number of people at 4.4 million of which 2,192,452 are male while 2,204,376 are female.

    Kiambu County ranks second with 2,417,735 people followed by Nakuru with 2,162,202.

    Lamu County has the lowest population with 143,920, followed by Isiolo with 268,002 and Samburu with 310,327.

    Mwangi said the enumeration was successfully conducted from 24th/25th to 31st August 2019 and a mop-up exercise carried out on 1st and 2nd of September 2019, to cover those not enumerated during the seven days. KNBS will undertake further analysis to produce 4 basic reports focussing on population by: Administrative units up to sub-location, Age and Sex by county, Political Units, Socio-economic characteristics; and thematic analytical reports.

    “I am also grateful to the security personnel who ensured peace prevailed during the census exercise. You lived to your true calling by providing the necessary security, not only to the census officials, but also to all members of the public.” Uhuru Kenyatta.

    The President said Kenya was the first Country in Africa to release census results two months after the exercise was conducted.

    “I am happy to note that this is the first Census to be conducted under the 2010 Constitution and was by and large fully funded by my Government. This year’s Census was a first of its kind in Kenya, in that for the first time ever, we fully embraced the use of technology in the census processes.”

  • THE U.S. SET TO EXIT FROM THE PARIS AGREEMENT

    By: Brenda Mongare (brendamongare171595@daystar.ac.ke)

    The Trump administration made a statement to the international community that it plans to officially withdraw from the Paris climate accord. The Paris climate accord unites 188 nations to combat climate change.

    President Trump called the agreement “a total disaster” and argued that the Obama administration’s pledges would have “hurt the competitiveness” of the United States.

    The withdrawal is still subject to the outcome of next year’s US presidential election – if Mr Trump loses, the winner may decide to change this decision.

    Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the administration had sent official notification of its plans to the United Nations.

    “In international climate discussions, we will continue to offer a realistic and pragmatic model — backed by a record of real world results — showing innovation and open markets lead to greater prosperity, fewer emissions, and more secure sources of energy,” Pompeo said. “We will continue to work with our global partners to enhance resilience to the impacts of climate change and prepare for and respond to natural disasters.”

    But how much can they do to fight climate change in the absence of federal leadership?

    The US would become the only country to leave the pact, a decision Trump promised to boost US oil, gas and coal industries.

    The Paris Agreement was set to provide a foundation for sustainable, low-carbon and resilient development under a changing climate by strengthening community-level resilience in countries suffering the same fate as Kenya.

    Some of the plans that were set forward for countries to follow were:

    1. Planting trees that absorb CO2 from the air is one such strategy.
    2. Reduction of the amount of greenhouse gases put into the atmosphere can also be achieved through the use of energy sources that don’t release greenhouse gases such as fuel efficiency in vehicles, hydrogen fuel cells, solar power, tidal energy, geothermal and wind power, use of carbon sinks, carbon credits, and taxation measures.

    The Trump administration might end up losing a lot of traction with respect to US influence globally and it could take time for the international community to trust the US as a consistent partner in any developments or ties.

    The US and China have been leading negotiations of the Paris “rule book” that outlines transparency and reporting rules for signatories, let’s wait and see what happens next.

  • INTERNS REJECTED BY MINISTRIES AND GOVERNMENT DUE TO GLITCH

    By: Brenda Mongare (brendamongare171595@daystar.ac.ke)

    Thumbnail photo courtesy of: the-star.co.ke

    A delay in the introduction to ministries and government corporations saw interns posted by the Public Service Commission (PSC) rejected. Public Service Cabinet Secretary Margaret Kobia admitted the glitch affected several interns but this was being addressed.

    “The majority of interns are reporting to ministries and a few in State corporations. There are no State corporations that rejected interns. However, some interns reported to corporations with their posting letters while the corporations had not received PSC guidelines on how to deploy the interns,” she said.

    Some of the departments wanted to be allowed to directly contract the interns, while some heads complained that the graduates sent to their dockets did not possess the primary degrees to learn on the job and a suspicion that some of them have been detailed to spy on them and subsequently report them to their bosses or investigative agencies.

    “All MDAs have received guidance letters and interns continue to report with a deadline of November 1. Any recruited intern who has any reporting challenges to contact PSC for assistance,” Prof Kobia said.

    Some turned them away saying they did not have physical space to accommodate them.

    An unemployment crisis continues to bite, with many graduates opting for menial jobs to earn a living. Prof Kobia revealed that 40 percent of Kenya’s productive population, mostly the youth, do not have meaningful jobs. “We are looking forward to recruiting 4,000 health workers following a request from the ministry.

    “Those with certificates, diplomas and degrees will benefit as the ministry moves to address the shortage of manpower,” PSC Chairman Stephen Kirogo said.

    Some of those that have turned interns away are Kenya Ports Authority, Kenyatta National Hospital, Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Kenya Bureau of Standards, Kenya Medical Research Institute, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, and the Kenya Revenue Authority.

    The government recruited 3,600 graduates in a plan the PSC believes will address the problem of an aging workforce when they are finally absorbed after one year.

    Some 3,200 public servants exit the service every year through natural attrition while 18,600 graduates applied for the slots.

    Mr. Kirogo disclosed that they had received 13,000 applications for the second intake that targets 4,000 recruits.

    “There is an overwhelming response and I’m happy people are keen to take part in the program,” he said on Saturday.

    Recruited from all the 290 constituencies, the PSC chairman holds that the program will in the long run cure the dominance of a few ethnic groups.

    A PSC report in July on its ethnic composition tabled in Parliament indicated that five tribes – Kikuyu, Luhya, Kisii, Maasai and Embu — control 53.3 per cent of the 223 jobs.

  • ALWAYS REMOVES ITS FEMALE SYMBOL FROM PACKAGING

    By: Brenda Mongare (brendamongare171595@daystar.ac.ke)

    Menstrual pad maker Always has announced that it will remove the female symbol from its products to reflect the fact that some people who menstruate don’t identify as women, including transgender men and nonbinary people.

    The company was forced into deciding at the behest of lobbyists, Always’ parent company, Procter and Gamble, released a statement saying it opted to make the change after continued feedback from customers, including trans men and allies.

    “For over 35 years Always has championed girls and women, and we will continue to do so, we’re also committed to diversity and inclusion and are on a continual journey to understand the needs of all of our consumers.”

    “It’s just a way to have accurate, affirming medical care, to exist in your body and be comfortable and recognized for who you are, periods are a biological, reproductive function that has nothing to do with how you think of yourself, which is what gender is. People have to get away from this idea that gender is connected to genitals.” Erika Hart added

    But it’s possible to have a uterus without identifying as a woman, as is the case with transgender men, as well as nonbinary and intersex people since gender identity and sex are two different things.

    Gender identity refers to a person’s internal concept of self and can include terms like man, woman, transgender, and nonbinary.

    For example, a transgender man is someone who was assigned female at birth but identifies as male. A nonbinary person is someone who identifies as neither male nor female, regardless of how they were assigned at birth.

    Some transgender people may choose to have hormone treatments or surgery to make their physical characteristics better align with their identity, but many do not.

    The discomfort of menstruation can be magnified for trans men who choose to take testosterone since the hormone can cause vaginal inflammation and can make using tampons or menstrual cups painful.

    The monthly experience can also be emotionally painful for trans and nonbinary people due to gender dysphoria, or the psychological distress caused by a disconnect between a person’s identity and their assigned sex.

    While gender dysphoria can be brought on by social situations, such as when someone is misgendered (referred to in a way other than how they identify), it can also happen to trans men and nonbinary people when buying and using menstrual products. That’s because periods are typically referred to as only a “women’s issue” and most conversations about menstruation focus on women and girls.

  • SIKUKUU YA MOI YAREJESHWA TENA

    Na Gladys Sheila,
    gladyshila52@gmail.com

    Katibu wa baraza la mawaziri katika wizara ya mambo ya ndani na uratibu wa serikali ya kitaifa Daktari Fred Matiang’i alitoa taarifa siku ya Jumanne na kuidhinisha sikukuu ya Moi kama sikukuu ya kitaifa.

    Hii ni baada ya uamuzi wa mahakama. Mnamo mwaka wa 2010, sikukuu ya Moi iliondolewa katika orodha ya sikukuu za kimataifa wakati katiba mpya ilizinduliwa rasmi. Mwezi wa Novemba mwaka wa 2017, jaji wa mahakama kuu alipinga uamuzi huo kwa kusema kuwa ni jambo ambalo linakiuka sheria. Mojawapo ya sababu ilikuwa kuwa sikukuu ya Moi haikuwa ya kuadhimisha wananchi au ufanisi wa nchi, bali mtu mmoja.

    “Kulingana na sheria kuhusu Sikukuu (Sura ya 110, Sheria za Kenya) na uamuzi wa mahakama katika Kesi ya Kikatiba Nambari 292 ya 2017, ninatangaza kuwa Oktoba 10, 2019, itakuwa sikukuu ya kitaifa,” Waziri Fred Matiang’i akasema.

    Hata hivyo, Wakenya wengi walikuwa na njia anuwai za kusherehekea siku hiyo. Wengine waliendeleza biashara zao kama kawaida, wengine wakisafiri kukutana na jamaa na familia zao na wengine wakapumzika kutoka kazini.

    Liliofanya sikukuu hii iwe ya kipekee ni kuwa wakenya wengi walitumia muda huu kuwatembelea na kuwapa msaada watoto katika nyumba za mayatima, wajane, wazee waliotengwa na familia zao, walemavu na wengineo kama ishara ya upendo.

    Hali kadhalika, wakenya wengine walikuwa na msimamo tofauti kuhusu maadhinisho ya sikukuu hiyo huku wakifananisha kipindi cha uongozi wa Mheshimiwa Moi kama dikteta.

  • KIVUKIO CHA KIFO

    Picha kwa hisani ya: The Star

    Ni afueni kwa wakenya wote na haswa familia yake Bi. Mariam Kighenda kwa kutolewa katika hindi la Victoria.

    Shughuli hii iliyochukua siku kumi na tatu, imezifanya nyoyo nyingi sasa kupata na utulivu. Aila ya Bi. Mariam sasa inauhuru wa kuzipumzisha mili ya wapenda wao ambao wamesumbuka usiku kucha. Japo bado uchungu upo, tunamwomba Mwenyezi Mungu aweze kuilaza roho zao pahala pema peponi.

    Hata hivyo, Shirika la Kenya Ferry limekabiliwa na mashtaka chungu nzima kufuatia ajali iliyotokea katika kivuko cha Likoni. Ajali hiyo ilihusisha kutumbukia kwa gari moja kwenye bahari hindi mnamo Septemba ishirini na tisa mida ya saa kumi na mbili. Gari hilo lilikuwa na abiria wawili, Bi. Mariam Kighenda na mwanawe Amanda Mutheu.

    Yasemekana wawili hawa walikuwa wametoka kuzuru shamba katika kaunti ya Kwale na walikuwa wakirejea nyumbani walipopatana na kifo chao.
    Matukio yaliyojiri baadaye yanaashiria utepetevu mkuu wa shirika la Kenya Ferry katika kutekeleza majukumu yao ya kuhakikisha usalama wa wasafiri.

    Baada ya ajali hiyo kutokea siku ya Jumatatu tarehe thelathini Septemba, Kenya Ferry kupitia mtandao wa kijamii wa twitter ilitangaza kuwa watahakikisha kuna meli nne katika kivukio cha Likoni.

    Wakenya kupitia mtandao huo walituma jumbe zilizosheheni kughadhabishwa kwa usemi wa Kenya Ferry kwani la muhimu lilikuwa kuomba msamaha kwa familia ya walioadhirika badala ya kuwaambia wananchi kuwa feri nne zitatutumika kuwasafirisha abiria hapo likoni.

    Ni jambo la kukereketa maini kugundua kwamba shirika la feri halina mikakati bomba inayowahakikishia abiria usalama wao hasa wakati kuna tukio kama hilo linalohatarisha maisha yao.

    Uchunguzi ambao unaendelea kufanywa umebaini kwamba shirika la feri la humu nchini halina wapiga mbizi ambao wanasafiri katika feri mchana na usiku bali wanawategemea wapiga mbizi katika shirika la Kenya Ports Authority na jeshi la baharini humu nchini.

    Uhai wa mama Amanda na mwanawe haungekatizwa ghafla iwapo shirika la Kenya Ferry lingekuwa na wapiga mbizi katika chombo hicho wakati wa mkasa huo. Wapiga mbizi wangelikuwepo wangefanya hima kuwaokoa abiria hawa punde tu gari lao lilipoanza kuzama.

    Msemaji wa serikali Col Rtd, Cyrus Oguna alipokuwa akitoa taarifa aliwaambia wanahabari kuwa gari lilichukua chini ya dakika moja unusu kuzama kwa hivyo kulikuwa na muda tosha wa kuwaokoa wasafiri hawa.

    Sababu za kucheleweshwa kwa kutolewa kwa miili ya walioaga ni kuwa kuna meli zinazopita baharini kupitia bandari ya Mombasa kufanya biashara ambayo inailetea kaunti ya Mombasa fedha nyingi. Tunaelewa kwamba tukikatiza usafiri wa meli baharini uchumi wa Mombasa utaadhirika pakubwa.

    Sababu ya pili ni giza kali ambayo imeshuhudiwa baharini hivyo wapiga mbizi wanatatizika sana. Tatu ni mawimbi makali yanayovuma baharini hivyo shughuli za uokoaji zinagonga mwamba wakati huo hadi mawimbi yatulie. Lakini ile sababu muhimu zaidi ni kuhakikisha kuwa usalama wa wapiga mbizi na wale wote wanaohusika katika shughuli za uokoaji unadumishwa,” haya yalikuwa maoni ya msemaji wa serikali Col Rtd.Cyrus Oguna.

    Shirika la Kenya Ferry limeshuhudia visa kama hivi vya ajali bali ni hatua chache sasa zimechukuliwa kuimarisha utendakazi wao. Wasafiri hawana uhakika wa usalama wao kwani janga kama hili linaweza kutokea bila usaidizi wowote. Ni bayana kuwa uwepo wa kuwa tayari kukabiliana na mikasa ya baharini ni jambo linalofaa kutiliwa mkazo.

    Feri zote zinafaa kuwa na vyombo vya kuhakikisha usalama wa wasafiri na magari pia. Sheria mpya zinafaa kubuniwa ili kuwe na mpangilio katika feri hizi. Hakuna mtu ambaye anafaa kupoteza maisha yake kupitia kisa cha kuhuzunisha kama hiki.

  • MWANARIADHA ELIUD KIPCHOGE AMEWEKA REKODI DUNIANI

    Picha kwa hisani ya: Reuters

    Oktoba 12 mwaka wa 2019 ni siku ambayo daima itakuwa kumbukumbu kwani mwanariadha Eliud Kipchoge amevunja rekodi aliyokuwa amejiwekea ya kukimbia kwa kilomita arubaini na mbili kwa muda wa saa moja na dakika hamsini na tisa.

    Isitoshe jina lake limeandikwa katika kitabu cha rekodi cha dunia cha Guiness. Eliud aliyekuwa amejibidisha na kuamini kuwa ataweka historia duniani, aliwafanya wakenya wengi kujumuika kumtizama akivunja rekodi hii iliyofahamika kama INEOS 159.

    Rais Kenyatta aliwaongoza wakenya katika kumhimiza Kipchoge kulenga lengo lake huku naibu wake mheshimiwa Ruto na bibiye wakisafiri Vienna kumpa mkono anapokimbia.

    Kusudio kuu lake Kipchoge lilikuwa kuonyesha kuwa hakuna pingamizi lolote iwapo mtu anataka kuwa wa kwanza katika lolote. Isitoshe, alisisitiza kuwa hashindani na wengine bali anashindana na muda na kuweka historia katika dunia.

    Shindano hili liliokuwa likitizamwa moja kwa moja katika mitandao, limewafunza watu kuwa; shindano letu si dhidi ya marafiki, maadui ama wenzetu bali dhidi ya muda. Pili, mbio yetu yapaswa kuwa dhidi ya lengo tulizojiwekea na mwishowe mbio yetu ni katika tunayonuia kulenga.

    Eliud Kipchoge vilevile amesema kuwa alikuwa mwenye tumbo joto baada ya kupokea simu kadha wa kadha kutoka viongozi wakuu katika serikali ya Kenya ikiwemo rais Kenyatta. Hata hivyo, bado alishikilia msimamo wake dhidi ya kuweka rekodi ya wanariadha duniani.

    Akizungumza baada ya shindano hilo, Kipchoge amesema kuwa imemchukua mwanadamu miaka sitini na tano kuweka historia katika mbio za dunia kwa hivyo yeye amejazwa na furaha ghaya kuweza kuifufua historia hii. Mwenyekiti wa INEOS bwana Jim Ratcliffe alisema kuwa hakuamini vile Kipchoge alikimbia mtawalia mbio ya kwanza kwa muda wa chini ya saa moja.
