Politics

Well,


This week has seen the exit of some of the so called "Pillars" of the Kibaki Administration from Goevernment. I guess it was bound to happen some time. There is only so much pressure one can stand. By the way, how long will Uncle Moody survive? On the Big Question on KTN the other night, 90% of the respondents said that he should quit. Talk about guys being after you.

However, we are now seeing the ODM guys pushing for even more guys to be sacked or to resign. It seems like mob-justice is being exacted on Kibaki's government. In my opinion, this is another storm that will soon pass, just like the one he faced after the defeat in the referendum, but how it passes depends on his use of political prowess.

Anyway, that aside, I would really like to see a less bloated cabinet with a focus on service delivery rather than empty rhetoric. That would be a first, an unusual thing in Kenya. Sounds far-fetched, but I am sure it is very possible.

We pray for the President, the government and the Nation of Kenya, that we become purposeful and truly walk into the future proud to be who we are - Kenyans.

Huawei IDEOS U8150 Review

I am a self-confessed Nokia die-hard. I have stuck with them even though the performance of some of their later models of phones, especially the touchscreen ones has been less than stellar. Nokia make great hardware. I am yet to find a manufacturer that makes sturdy long lasting phones Like Nokia does. However, their software seems to leave a lot to be desired. Saying that, I still do believe that the Nokia E71 is one of the best smartphones they may. I still have mine to date and it has served me faithfully. A friend who couldn’t understand my almost fanatical obsession with Nokia phones dared me to try another smartphone operating system. Try the iPhone or an Android phone and then tell me if you will go back to Nokia. The opportunity came when Safaricom introduced the uber-cheap Huawei IDEOS U8150 in Kenya. Retailing at 8,500 Kenya Shillings with 600MB free data and 1,000 Shillings free airtime, it was a bargain to say the least. The IDEOS had Android 2.2 (Froyo) installed. It com...

The Secret vs The Bible

Or should I put the, The Bible versus The Secret. Of late a couple of my friends have asked me a lot about 'The Secret' which is supposed to be revolutionizing people's lives. I got a chance to watch the DVD on TS but somehow I was not convinced. Don't get me wrong, a lot of what they teach is great and people should be applying it. But I do have a couple of issues with it. One thing that really bothered me is the way they sort of overlooked God or glossed over him. They even do quote scripture and all but still, it wasn't convincing. They have Biblical principals and even teach that many preachers e.g Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Joel Osteen and so on teach principles based on the secret. Well, I think they are just trying to justify their teaching. I for one listen to all these preachers regularly. I am subscribed to their podcasts, buy their books and CDs and DVDs. Never once did I hear them use the secret as their reference material. They use the Bible - God...

Prepaid Mobile Data Tariffs in Kenya

Hi, I decided to do a simple comparison of data prices from the 4 mobile operators . I just took the data they had posted on their respective websites and put it in a table for comparison . From the data, some of which was a bit confusing to interpret , I found that the only common data bundle is the 1GB or 1000MB bundle . I decided to use the 1GB as 1000MB so as to standardize the values . So from the analysis , Safaricom data is the most expensive , and yu data is the cheapest . However it must be noted that yu 's information is easily misunderstood . The one point to note is that only Safaricom has a 3G network and all the other 3 - yu , Orange and Airtel are on EDGE. On a side note, interestingly, in some places I find that Orange and yu only have plain old GPRS within Nairobi environs. With Airtel and Safaricom, I haven't encountered that yet. Their signals have always been good enough to get at least EDGE coverage. Data is below...
