HOW KENYAN TEACHERS ARE SUFFERING AS KNUT WATCHES.

DISTRESS LETTER FROM A TEACHER.  Edited by Joel Eshikumo.  Teachers are silently suffering and so when the employer TSC sends them Happy Teachers Day it sounds like mockery.  Tsc is the most ungrateful employer under the sun.  It began with the medical scheme. They were taken to Aon minet against their will while at the same time they were nhif contributors.  Yes after falling sick the teachers was diverted to makeshift clinics called Bliss which gave teachers less than satisfactory medical services.  Even as we talk there is nothing as uncertain as the teachers health coverage. They keep on shifting the goalposts to ensure that the teacher doesn't score.  Then came delocalization. The head teachers who performed exemplarliy well, or were in Union or Sacco, kepsha/Kessha leadership were targeted.  Old men and women in their fifties were mercilessly and mindlessly torn from their families and flung to remote areas to start life afresh. CBC was forced down their throats w

Story by multiple sources. Tumaz&Tumaz is the company that allegedly won the bid to resurrect Mumias Sugar Company- MSC with Ksh 27 Billion. At @ eshikumo2030 , we delve deep into activities of Julius Mwale and Tumaz & Tumaz from the fairy city in Butere, to the land owners who are owed millions and contractors with over 300 court cases.  In the SIX part series, we expose and debunk the erstwhile investment, the Mwale Myth as pushed by crooked politicians and now small time shadowy business people.  We seek to tell you how this bid to take over was orchestrated and woven overseas and in Kenya. You will read about 16 politicians who have been cozzy with the erstwhile business man Julius Mwale.  Using multiple sources both in Kenya and USA, we seek to unravel the game plan in the run up to 'the bid that never was'  BACK GROUND  In 2000, six years after joining the Kenya Air Force, Julius Mwale had severe differences with the top brass in the government that his life was i

WHY ATWOLI'S KAKAMEGA MEETING WAS USELESS.

ANC leader Honourable Musalia Mudavadi and Uhuru Kenyatta in a past picture.  By Mwalimu Akhanyalabandu  A proper meeting to make key decisions affecting Mulelmbe Nation must at least have quorum.  The meeting at Golf Hotel Kakamega was to bring all the 48 elected leaders from the region. Only 18 turned up. 18 people who include outgoing and irrelevant governors like Ojamong and Khaemba cannot decide our future as Luhyas.  Any meeting without H.E. Musalia, Wetangula, Celophas Malala, Ayub Savula. Tindi Mwale, Sakwa Bunyasi, Omboko Milemba, Beatrice Adagala,  Bishop Khamala and my area MP Aseka Miradi, is null and void. It is just a wet dream.

FACADE; The main gate of Mumias Sugar. The company collapsed due to mismanagement. ANALYSIS BY Musa Ekaya  Mumias Sugar company- MSC was supposed to be a showcase small-scale agricultural enterprise. Yet it has become the sad story of a failed scheme. Perhaps.   Dateline 1967 : The Kenyan government had decided to open up vacant land in Mumias in a land transfer program funded by the British government. It was the largest scheme by the standards of the day, with the UK giving a soft loan of £2.9 million (Sh400m). The government had approached a British foods company, Booker McConnell, to do the feasibility studies and advise on how satellite small-holder sugar plots could sustain a sugar factory in the midst of the scheme. SWEETNESS; Sugar on the shelves of shopping malls With all the planning done, Mumias Sugar Company was registered in 1971 with the government owning 71 per cent while the rest of the shareholding was taken up by Commonwealth Development Corpor

HON MUSALIA MUDAVADI'S TIME IS 2022

Opinion by George Mulama.  On December 31st 2016, before a mammoth crowd in Bukhungu Stadium, Kakamega County, the self-proclaimed Luhya elder Francis Atwoli installed former Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi as the spokesperson of the Luhya people in an event attended by many politicians from the region.  However, the absence of a section of influential politicians such as Bungoma senator and Ford Kenya leader, Moses Wetangula poured cold water on the whole event and aggravated the debate on who truly is the Luhya Kingpin.  After Atwoli’s coronation, Bungoma Senator and Ford Kenya chairman rubbished the whole event claiming Atwoli did not have the mandate to crown a Luhya spokesperson while former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale warned the COTU boss that he would not succeed in imposing Raila Odinga on the Luhya people through moulding Mudavadi to be his pawn. To date, many years after the event, there is still a fierce debate on who rightly deserves the Kingpin tag go
