The Kenyan Chapter of the Roman Catholic Church has faced its biggest and stiff litmus test in the recent times. The move to denounce celibacy vow and confessions by some Catholic that they have been living a lie by keeping secret families is a big blow the church has ever received.

To these renegade priests we can only sum up that it’s a height of hypocrisy in their part after going a well laid down procedure of which they were given a chance to take a stand, and, then at the end, they took the vows of celibacy knowly knowing its consequences.

As one German theologian, Dietrioh Bonhoeffer, said that if you board the wrong train, it is no use of running along the corridor in the [+]

It’s a devolutionary and revolutionary budget which most Kenyans have been yearning for over the years. This is what Mukurwe-ini, Member of Parliament and an assistant minister, Kabando wa Kabando, concluded of the budget. This is one voice in a million which congratulated the Finance minister, Uhuru Kenyatta over the manner in which he represented his well, thought budget speech.

Talk about sweet deals which devolved billions of shillings to fuel development at grassroots level. The budget allocated close to 200shs. Millions per constituency which will be channeled towards building schools, markets, health centre and roads.

According to daily Nations Financial analyst, Jaindi Kisero, he wrote that this year’s budget is a bold experiment. If you examine the spending plan carefully, one of the most important objectives [+]

The religious are at it yet again, and this time round they have turned their focus to the National assembly, the parliament, the legislature, the one arm of Government. Since the formation of the coalition government the religious people and the political activists have assumed the role of the official opposition. But, the religious people are the ones who are most vocal and they have made it their duty to prick any hair in the soup of the coalition government.

But, are they justified in their action to castigate the parliament over the manner in which it conducts the house business?

The formation of the coalition government brought together different political parties hence no room was left for the official opposition, and so there wasn’t any formidable [+]

Are we still on the reconciliation peace path, or, did we abandon it along time ago? And, as a matter of fact, it seems as if it doesn’t feature in our list of priority, because we started engaging in other political shenanigans which cast doubt of any possible reconciliation peace process.

This is one question we need to ponder and ask our political class considering the volatility of some areas which were hit hard by the post election violence’s, and to most people, they do live as if they are on borrowed times. The coalition Government has been unable to address the various pertinent issues that are affecting the people.

The issues of the settlement of internally displaced people have been an anathema and a scar in [+]

Are we drafting a constitution for political parties and the ruling class elites, or, are we drafting a constitution for the republic of Kenya and its people?

This is one question we need to bear in mind, ask and ponder when drafting this constitution. If the recent occurrences and the sheer shenanigans that are happening in the name of constitution are anything to go by, then, we are doomed to fail. And it seems as if entrenching anew constitution in Kenya is a tall order or has been jinxed. Different divergent views do emerge, as each camp insists on its way.

The whole process of constitution making has at all times been hijacked by the politicians and the ruling class elites, as the process is [+]
