Where I try to make sense of the strange news they shove down our throats, almost always via a long winded rant.
What the hell is going on in Eastleigh? And Kasarani? And why is no one in authority talking about it, other than giving us meaningless quotes about security operations? Are there people, possibly Kenyans, being held in ‘detention centres’? How is ‘detention centre’ a phrase I use in this our Nairobi, in 2014? Are we […]

One fine Friday last month, we woke up to the screaming headline, How Government spent millions on luxury retreat, a front page expose on the 100M price tag of the cabinet retreat in Nanyuki. ‘Eh?’ we asked, aghast, ‘How now?’ But calculations by The Standard, based […]

I need to give you a bit of background before I continue, that you may fully grasp from whence my anguish emanates. I’ve been reading the Nation since I could read. My father, bless his demanding ass, […]

We would like them to know that their efforts at stupidity did not go unnoticed. 1. Foolish plan to stay free. UHURUTO Ah…the dynamic duo. It takes a certain amount of brilliance to spend billions […]

Continue reading →So this ICC mess? What kind of crack are these people smoking? I have a prezzo throwing tantrums in Addis, while his DP prays at the Hague. A Foreign Minister misguidedly devoted to the cause of one man (admittedly her boss, but still one man), and an A.G. who appears to serve the president and […]
Continue reading →I have little to no respect for the Standard Group in general, The Standard Newspaper in particular. For too long they have specialised in pushing their master’s agenda, and given that their master is a former president, along with his cronies, well, they have no credibility in my book.
