By Brian Nzomo There is something endemic in the Kenyan psyche which I erroneously assumes in the past as being a result of genuine poverty. The culture of scrambling for scanty resources and accumulating more than what one needs. Initially, I perceived it as a consequence of lack. But I was wrong. It is aContinue reading “DO YOU NEED IT? OR YOU’RE JUST OBSESSED WITH SCRAMBLING.”

A PUGNACIOUS BAOBAB TREE AND OUR SHAKING BOTTOMS THAT SCREAM FUTILITY
By Brian Nzomo ‘Corruption has proven to be a tenacious vice beleaguering the economic and social foundations of society’. ‘Corruption should be a capital offence.’ ‘Everyone should learn to be content and practise integrity to effectively fight corruption’. All these are common clarion calls made in sensitizing Kenyans about corruption. It has been regarded asContinue reading “A PUGNACIOUS BAOBAB TREE AND OUR SHAKING BOTTOMS THAT SCREAM FUTILITY”
THE MONSTER CALLED POLICY: HOW THE GOVERNMENT’S UNHEALTHY OBSESSION WITH POLICY OVER PEOPLE DENIGRATES REAL SOLUTIONS.
By Brian Nzomo Teachers and students were injured in an nightly ambush that occurred in Kerio valley after bandits prevalent in the geography peppered their school bus with bullets. Years and years of internecine conflict between pastoralist tribes and bandits are yet to be quelled.

PASTOR FRANCIS MUSILI- THE REDEMPTION OF OUR CARNAL SUSCEPTIBILITIES.
By Brian Nzomo. Only those with cavalier attitudes did not get to witness the real events behind the Enziu river tragedy. And only those with no spiritual foresight will condescendingly mock our good, tax-exempt, Elianto-ordained man of god. Musili is not a noob when it comes to matters demons. He has for the past twoContinue reading “PASTOR FRANCIS MUSILI- THE REDEMPTION OF OUR CARNAL SUSCEPTIBILITIES.”
TRUTH IS NOW CRIME? – A CASE FOR THE SUSPENDED GSU GRADUATES.
By Brian Nzomo. Kenyans are a very peculiar people, don’t you think? A ‘harmless’ video circulated in the internet, portraying a number of GSU graduates ‘jokingly’ saying they are well inoculated with the ‘plausible defteness’ of dealing with a dissident citizenry. I don’t know what could be offensive in such an impressive admission of honesty.Continue reading “TRUTH IS NOW CRIME? – A CASE FOR THE SUSPENDED GSU GRADUATES.”
CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IT IS? LET’S FUCKING DO IT RIGHT.
By Brian Nzomo Since the MoE intends to sanction the re-introduction of corporal punishment(validate what has always existed on the ground), I have some reservations meant to ensure a smooth glide of this policy : Teachers who would be expected to handle the caning should be qualified.

SAVE US THE PURITANS, WE NEED ART REALISTS.
By Brian Nzomo, Editor By EDITOR. At the helm of the Kenya Film and classification board (KFCB), the now outgoing CEO Dr. Ezekiel Mutua had sat with lofty hauteur surpassing that of a Hellenic hubris. Let’s be honest, his penchant for feeling indispensable as a moral cruciality in society, inebriated him to the point ofContinue reading “SAVE US THE PURITANS, WE NEED ART REALISTS.”
The government’s blame on arts and humanities, and how stupid the blame is.
By Brian Nzomo All corrupt governments hate arts and humanities education. Period! Our corrupt elitist government has confirmed this a million times. It has become plainly impossible for the government to hide its contempt for the arts. There has been no single educational conference or initiative held by supreme government officials, that an ‘education expertContinue reading “The government’s blame on arts and humanities, and how stupid the blame is.”
The Narrow Vision of democracy and freedom in Kenya.
By Brian Nzomo. Democracy in Kenya. Is it just the freedom of expression, association or vote? When Kenyans queue for long hours in the scorching sun in order to tick papers in the name of voting does it really portray the essence of freedom. Talk about the ‘free press’ or freedom to join a partyContinue reading “The Narrow Vision of democracy and freedom in Kenya.”
