GIVE JUSTICE TO KENYANS IN CAMPS


It shocked me that MPs would increase their salaries in a record 20 minutes yet IDPs have been in camps for the last two years. Is this justice, leave a lone fairness?It is also nerve wrenching that the Ministry charged with the responsibility of catering for the needs of the IDPs has remained mum on the issues bedeviling our brothers and sisters in the camps. Ministry of Special Program mes has been accused of misappropriating funds that belonged to the internally displaced people, but is any one listening?

RESPONSIBILITY


Dear comrades we are living in a world where we have thrown caution to the wind but i believe no matter what you do, responsibility should always come first. As much as our peers may influence or blame alcoholism on various environmental factors lets make independent choices that negates group think. ... I wish you all the best!

CAREER CHOICE


As a Media student journalism is my career of choice. Please choose your career wisely for its passion and determination that will get you there...but remember the time that our parents used to determine our career paths is long gone and the time to self introspect is here with us..MAKE YOUR CAREER CHOICE TODAY.

LETS APPRECIATE OUR ENVIRONMENT


The Thompson falls is one of Kenya's appreciated water falls.

The Thompson’s Falls got it’s name from Joseph Thompson, a naturalist from Scotland who discovered it in 1887 when he walked all the way from Mombasa to Lake Victoria.


PEACE AND TRANQUILITY


`Peaceful coexistence among Kenyan tribes is of significance to avoid scenes such as this.

The drive to involve the ICC has gained momentum following the government’s failure to set up a local tribunal to probe post-election violence that claimed 1,500 lives and displaced over 300,000 people.

In February last year, a bill to establish the tribunal was overwhelmingly rejected by parliament on fears that it would be vulnerable to political manipulation. The defeat has been lauded by those who believe that an ICC-led probe would signal a new beginning in arresting the culture of impunity.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) however still favours a local tribunal and maintains that sovereign countries have a responsibility to guarantee the rule of law. It may be that the ICC will have to step in because the Kenyan government is unable or unwilling to see justice done, but that would be a dereliction of duty by Kenya's leaders.

Since our priority is preventing more killings, we need something that can operate more quickly than the ICC traditionally has. A special tribunal here in Kenya could be mobilised with proper political will much more quickly.


Human rights watchers will be keeping an eye on developments as we approach the referendum to ensure a repeat of 2008 does not replay itself.

DID HE DESERVE THIS?


This young boy's parents were murdered in the events of post election violence, but did he deserve to end up in a children's home with a broken arm? Every human being has the right to life, hence the command that you shall not kill. It is my wish that the wheels of justice catch up and apprehend the killers of this young boy's parents.

HERBALISTS POSE THREAT TO ENDANGERED TREE SPECIES


Formerly in Kenya, herbalists were allowed to debark medicinal tree, currently, there has been increased debarking by illegal herbalists.

According to my view i would like to suggest that the people who debark trees have a booming business. But efforts to trace them has been fruitless. You can imagine how many trees die per a year as a result careless debarking.

There is the need to conserve indigenous species of trees. For the definition of human beings is; intelligent creatures who cut trees and make paper then write"SAVE TREES" on them.
