Will the chairperson of the Truth Justice and reconciliation commission, Mr. Bethuel Kiplagat, survive the storm, pass the credibility test, shrug off the accusations which have been leveled against him and prove himself that indeed he is the credible for the job? Will he survive the on slaughter, stomach, the accusations, or, will he be crucified or currently he is a man on the spot facing tough tribulations? He is at the edge of the cliff, facing acid test.

If there is one key institution most Kenyans soccer lovers love to hate and if accorded a chance they can pipe away its life within a flash of second and then flush it to the grave without much appraisation, its Kenya football federation.

Their continued mismanagement over the years has affected our soccer to the point where our soccer has gone to the dogs. Their [+]

On Sunday the 14th February, the Honorable Prime Minister, Raila Odinga, called a press conference where he announced that he has sacked two cabinet ministers, Hon William Ruto, minister for agriculture and his Education counterpart Profs Sam Ongeri. Later in the day the president –the appointing authority released a statement quashing and disowning the sacking citing that the prior consultations hadn’t taken place .from that point onward the influx of mixed reactions and concerns started to flow with different interpretations of the law.

The P.M criticized for overstepping his mandate for he wasn’t the appointing authority .the affected ministers defied his orders, and what was to follow a precipitation of a crisis.

As one philosophical saying goes, if you want to analyze the future prospect of an ideal state or society and gauge whether it will flourish, analyze their offspring’s. The growth of the off springs. How they cope, react and adapts to different evolving time changes this a lot about their future.

At present times living in this world where there is a myriad of challenges, hard economic times, joblessness among the youths coupled by desperate times and this life is proving to be a little bit harder than yester years.
