Posted in African Politics, AfroSpear, AfroSphere, Kenya, Mombasa Republic Council, News, Nkwazi Mhango, Pwani si Kenya on June 1, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

Although there have been much brouhahas and rumpus from Mombasa Republic Council (MRC), agitating for cessation from Kenya, the truth is what MRC is trying to do is treason. For nobody can declare a republic within a republic and fall short of committing treason. Therefore, legally speaking, MRC needs to be told to its face [...]

Wrangles evidenced recently between Kenyan Judiciary and the executive over the ruling that Sudanese strong man, Omar Bashir, be apprehended shall he visit Kenya, left many analysts flabbergasted. One judge, Ncholas Ombija, made a historical ruling when ordered the Minister for Internal Security to see to it that when Bashir sets foot on Kenyan soil, [...]

“The day Kenya was born” by Nkwazi Mhango

Posted in Africa, African Politics, AfroSpear, AfroSphere, Kenya, Leadership, News, Nkwazi Mhango on August 30, 2010 | 17 Comments »

No doubt. The overwhelmingly passing of the new constitution in Kenya can be termed as the rebirth of a new true Kenya that had nary existed. This, if anything, I believe, will bury the demons of tribalism, self seeking, land grabbing, dictatorship, corruption, irresponsibility and unaccountability that marred the history of Kenya. Now that the [...]

Posted in African Women, Kenya, Nobel Peace Prize, Tree Planting, Wangari Maathai on April 22, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Do you ever think of a woman when you hear the word ”warrior”? We usually think of those great men of history, such as Martin Luther King, Kwame Nkrumah, Nelson Mandela, Chiekh Anta Diop, or the great kings and princes of ancient Egypt, or even the Mau Mau or Zulu or Black Panthers. But does a woman ever come [...]

“Obama’s love for Tanzania in lieu of Kenya is goof up” ‏by Nkwazi N. Mhango

Posted in Africa, AfroSpear, AfroSphere, Barack Obama, Corruption, Jakaya Kikwete, Kenya, Leadership, Mwai Kibaki, Nkwazi Mhango, Tanzania on October 29, 2009 | 3 Comments »

By booting Kenya down and preferring Tanzania, the US proved to be as goofy as divorcing a gator to end up in bed with a croc! This is the second time the US has slammed a door on Kenya. It’s sad that even Tanzania imbibed this scornful humiliation as a big deal. But by avoiding [...]

African “Thieves-in-Chief” and their families by Nkawzi N. Mhango

Posted in Africa, African Women, AfroSpear, AfroSphere, Corruption, Janet Museveni, Kenya, Leadership, Life, Lucy Kibaki, Nkwazi Mhango, Politics, Tanzania, Uganda on March 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I saw red when Janet Keinembabazi Kataha Museveni, the wife of Ugandan despot, was appointed a minister in charge of the historically impoverished and semi-arid north-eastern Karamoja region her husband ruined. I sensed something nasty with more magnitude of megalomania than even that of Zimbabwean killer, Robert Mugabe. Even an imbecile like Idi Amin did [...]

“Africa where first ladies wreck heck!” by Nkawzi N. Mhango

Posted in Africa, African Women, Justice, Kenya, Leadership, Life, Lucy Kibaki, Nkwazi Mhango, Politics on February 17, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Lucy Kibaki, the Kenyan first lady, recently caused mayhem. Shamelessly, she demanded written explanations from a minister for Internal Security, George Saitoti after inferno mowed down over a hundred poor Kenyans as they’re scooping petrol from a burning-over-turned-oil tanker. Always quarrelsome and belligerent, Mrs. Kibaki blamed this calamity on what she referred to as negligence [...]
