A LETTER TO HELB -CEO
I
am aware that in the recent days, Kenyans have adopted the habit of
writing 'OPEN LETTERS TO' so and so. Some of these are purely publicity
stunts. Yet there are others coming from deep within ours hearts. Mine
lies here.
I am not sure you
know this, but Moi University (Main Campus) has its third years in
session; class of 2011-2015. Their recalling was actually by accident.
While they expected to be recalled back to school somewhere in July or
August, they were recalled on April 15th. That is over two months ago.
While I appreciate that yours isn’t a gutter organization, driven to
serve a few hundreds, I must bring to your attention the plight of these
men and women; those waiting to take up your position when that time
comes.
We have tried to seek communication with your office,
Mr CEO. We have tried. We have approached administrators, accountants,
Deans and DVCs here at main campus, seeking to know why we haven't
received any financial boosting from your side. Some of them claimed
that HELB was a separate entity and, as such, any complaints should be
addressed directly to it. And yet these were the same people that
recalled us back with no financial grounding.
A few days ago,
we came across an announcement. Your team would be coming over to deal
with this issue. This was after a list was pinned on the notice board,
revealing hundreds of names of those that had qualified for
disbursements. Yet three weeks later, our accounts remain thirsty.
We start our exams in four days. And the university has a policy of not
letting anyone sit examinations without first clearing their fees. We
have tried to negotiate, only to reach a dead end. Until now, no one has
spoken to you about this, or even written. If they had, I would not
have to do this. (I hate writing long letters by the way.)
I
have not met you before, and I am hoping one day I will. But I am sure
that in your capacity, you can do something to help, if you so wish.
This hope is what drives me, and many others, to ensure that none of us
misses their exams, simply because they can't afford to clear their fee
balance. Or have to go for days without meals, with no surety that all
shall be well.
We hear there was a message relayed to us; that
we would receive the money in a fortnight. That's the same time our
exams end. We ask, how shall we start?
I don't need to conclude
this, but ask that you take appropriate measures to deal with this
issue. And if possible, do so in haste. In the meantime, I shall prepare
for my exams, knowing that our prayers will be answered. And funds
disbursed. Kind regards.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MANAGING DIRECTOR EAST AFRICAN BREWERIES LIMITED (EABL)..
Dear sir/ madam
RE: HELP US REPAY OUR HELB LOAN... I hereby write on behalf of thousands of students who took the
above loan in order to softly pursue their studies and develop their careers.The loan was good and it put a smile on many comrades' faces. Just the other day, the HELB management team put a huge notice on a local newspaper demanding that
all beneficiaries of the loan to quickly commence repayment. Like me, most of the beneficiaries are either unemployed, mis-employed or under- employed. We would really like to pay but we have no hope and no means. I therefore request that the great EABL help us to repay this loan since a very large percentage of our HELB LOAN was spent on your lovely products. it is our hope that if EABL executes for us this favor,we shall maintain our drunkenness and even extend it beyond the borders of this great republic.
Thanking you in advance,i look forward
to your prompt response.
Yours faithfully
ALL COMRADES.

Museveni is right: African nations worship the US
To an extent, he was right. But not in the sense of worshipping the way we do God.
That the US behaves like a god is common
knowledge. I think we Africans give so much attention to what the US
says that we forget what is important to us. That is why President
Museveni thinks Africa is worshipping America.

CAMPUS TERMS AND THEIR REAL TRANSLATIONS
In
campus, we have some common phrases that are popular among the student
fraternity. And as a communication student who is very keen on the
language use during conversations and chats, I found it ‘worthy’ to
compile this list just in case you needed to know the REAL
meaning/translation of some of this phrases.
‘K’− You are totally boring and I want to end this conversation.
“Oh”− I don’t know what else to say
“Ok”− I am busy
“Yup”− Stop talking to me
“Umemaliza assignment?”− I have not done my assignment and I want to copy yours right now.
“I got swag” − I am just another overgrown teenager who still thinks acting stupid makes one famous.
“Me ni hustler”− I am broke most of the time
“Uko single?”− I was dumped the other day; I am, therefore, interested in you.
“Uko stage?” − I am about to come there so prepare to buy me food or booze
“My twin”− My close friend who looks nothing like me
“Hii story hapana!”− This is no longer a laughing matter and this situation is now considered serious.
“My heart is taken but I’m single”− She/he doesn’t love me any more
“Siwezi make kutembea, nimechoka”− unless you are buying me chips or smokie, I am not willing to go with you
“Me ni half cast”− I am ashamed of my original tribe and therefore I can’t mention it in public
“I am broke”− I only have enough money for ME.
“Umm.. I got a boyfriend “− Not only are you ugly, you are broke too. Get out of my face
“Whatever!”− I refuse to continue the conversation because you have ruined my mood!
“Why are you lying?”− Why are you telling people something TRUE that I don’t want them to know?
“LOL”− I was flirting, but just in case you are not feeling it, I will make it seem like a joke
“Girl, you will not believe what happened to me”− Prepare to hear my exaggerated version of the story
“I swear sitaambia mtu yeyote”− except my three best friends, my boyfriend, his sister and that random guy on FB, everyone else won’t know about it!
“Mwakenya”− an external micro hard disk that is very essential for intellectual reinforcements in the exam room (as per University student’s dictionary, Moi Uni Edition 2013)
“Naenda library kuchop”− Exams are beginning tomorrow
“Class imebounce”− God answered my prayers. I now have extra 3 hours to watch my favourite series
“Unaishi hostel gani?”− I am idle today and therefore I wouldn’t mind visiting you at your place.
“My dad loves me so much”- I receive M-Pesa messages on regular basis from my father.

WHO WILL SAVE KENYA FROM TRIBALISM?
I
am a keen follower of the Comrades Forum page on Facebook and what I
see being posted on it keeps me wondering, who will ever save Kenya from
this thing called tribalism? Someone said, the worst mistake one can
ever do to one is giving them knowledge when they lack wisdom – what
will the knowledge be used for?
When a student from the
University of Nairobi still thinks in the line of Njuguna, Otieno and
Wafula, who will ever save Kenya? Some of the posts on that page are so
irritating that I sometimes contemplate on unliking the page but again
running away from a problem is cowardice!
When I went home
after completing the second semester of my second year, the elders set
to interrogate me to gather information on how I was ‘fairing’ in my
quest to find a wife (I wonder who told them I was looking for one). Of
course I had to tell them I had someone. But what they were interested
in was not me having someone but the name of that person! Chepleting, I
told them.
They all frowned, why, because Chepleting is from
Rift Valley and I am from Western. These are old men who didn’t step
into any class; they think like that guy who wakes up every morning to
go study in the Jomo Kenyatta Library. The difference here is that one
group has knowledge and lacks wisdom and another group lacks both.
If we, university students can’t be differentiated from the villagers
who didn’t go to school, who will ever save Kenya? Will we continue
blaming tribalism on this and that forever? I think that page entertains
some of the most insensitive students in Kenya. Many of them need
rehabilitation to get out of the bondage of tribalism.
Surely, how do we expect the class one kids (who by next year will be on
Facebook and Twitter) to emulate us? What will they learn from us? We
who still think Uhuru Kenyata is Kikuyu and not the president of Kenya,
who insists on using the second name of our deputy president rather than
the first one for the simple reason that he is from the Kalenjin
community.
A guy posts, “the Kikuyu are thieves”, out of the
urge to protect his tribe. Another comments, the Luo are uncircumcised!
And these are the same people we expect to be ‘good’ leaders tomorrow.
These are the people who, even after four years in campus, leave the
same way they came in, having wasted four years in the system.
It’s my opinion that university students need to stand out and initiate
the process to end tribalism in Kenya. We do not need to watch videos
of what happened after the 2007 general elections to know that tribalism
is what derails Kenya’s development. If we hadn’t done what we did
then, we wouldn’t be talking of settling the internally displaced
persons. TJRC could not exist to waste millions (money that would have
been used to build another super highway to my village or added to the
thirty five thousand shillings I get from HELB) in its sitting and
prepare a report, one I doubt will ever be implemented.
Tribalism is hard to decimate. This is a perception not the reality. It
all starts with me and you. If I don’t see my roommate as Kamba or
Kisii, there is no way I will see my lecturer as a Luo and thus my
president as a Kikuyu.
It’s all in the mind. It’s only that we
don’t want to end tribalism in Kenya. It would end if we wanted it to.
Surely, there is no way we can all be from the same tribe, that’s
impossible!
WHY YOU SHOULD NOT MARRY A NAIROBI WOMAN
1. She believes she is a doll
2. When she is single her net pay is
ksh.20,000 but her rent is
15,000,Transport.5000,clothing 5000 and
food 10,000.You will probably marry a
whore.
3. She's never happy without wealth.
4. Equality dominates her thinking.
5. She only says "thank you" when she
sees money on the table.
6. If you run broke,nothing will stop her
from cheating.
7. Artificial nails,artificial hair,artificial
skin colour,artificial hips,artificial
breasts.
8. Drinking is part of her diet.
9. At age 8: You take her to bed and tell
her a story.
10. At age 18: You tell her a story and
take her to bed.
11. At 28: You don't need to tell her a
story to take her to bed.
12. At 38: She tells you a story and takes
you to bed.
13. At 48: You tell her a story to avoid
going to bed.
14. At 58: You stay in bed to avoid her
story.
15. At 68: If you take her to bed, that'll
be a story.

ADDICTIVE SOCIAL MEDIA
Referring
to Isaac Meso's article "Half-baked graduates who is to blame?", it is
my opinion that social media is to blame for being too addictive. Most
university students can't do without it. The desire to text frequently,
tweet, Facebook, among other social networking activities is higher than
that of the desire to take alcohol or smoke cigarettes
in a day. According to my observation from a sample campus population,
about 90 per cent of the student population access the Internet daily.
We are in a digital world and communication has been made easier these days. However, our ability to think is now driven by social media such that if we were to be disconnected from it for a day some of us may fall sick. We no longer read widely, we use Google whenever we have assignments.
The reason behind most university students using 'mwaks' is attached to social media. We spend most of our time on Twitter, WhatsApp, 2go and other social networking sites instead of taking time to concentrate on academic work. I can firmly say that social media has deprived us of our talents. We can't go to the field to play because we are stuck to our phones. The essence of social media is to make communication easier, not to create laziness among us. Remember, no employer in the job market will recruit you based on the time you access social media sites.

FROM PUPPET TO PUPPETEER:
The
other time I felt like kissing a lady friend with my fist, not because
of a quarrel - no sir, but because of one ugly statement: “All men are
the same.” Luckily, she’s the best friend I have in campus so far, so I
couldn't put each of her teeth to be in business for itself. And then
there’s another uglier one: “Men are dogs.” Haha…now what does that make women? Read beyond this line! This makes me freak out any time I come across a lady with a pet dog.
Then there is every type of female adviser everywhere: From Oprah Winfrey to William Dekker. “A real man should carry her woman’s handbag, massage her in the morning (err…I actually do this for my own good), cook for her…” The only thing they always omit is… “Hold her throughout the night in her hostel room” (Now my friend Lawi, I don’t dispute the fact that I spent my nights in Hostel J for a week. It’s simply because I'm taller than most beds in Moi, and there’s only one bed I could fit in at that time - in Hostel J).
What beats me is that after reading Oprah’s relationship manual word for word, most of our good ladies sit and wait for that ideal man, whereas Oprah’s tissue paper is literally made of dollar notes! This is the condition known to me as ‘being a celebrity’s puppet’ or ‘playing an executive fool.’ What if we could twist things a little bit, you know, by first understanding that angels only exist in heaven, and that there’s no marriage in heaven?
There are ladies in very stable and happy relationships, not that they are lucky or something, no, but because they understand that luck is a word for losers. Getting your head stuck in the “All men are the same” pot simply means you’re a puppet. You opened your life to many different men who didn't deserve you, messed up your body then got yourself rejected. After that, you decided to search for a scapegoat by forming a resistance cocoon around you and making it look legitimate by branding the “Men are dogs” rubber-stamp on its outermost layer.
Ladies are like apples. The good ones are found high up on the tree. Most men go for the ones nearest to the ground, simply because they are afraid of height. They take one or two bites then throw them away. The thrown apples then lay on the ground, waiting. No one picks them up. They end up giving rise to another tree, or being eaten by a ruminant.
On the other hand, the good ones on top of the tree wait, the man who likes quality climbs, picks them and takes them for processing. They come out of the factory refined, attractive and expensive. At this point every other man desires to have them but only one quality cautious man wins them over.
I simply suggest this to you, dear ladies. If you want an angel for a husband, make your ways right with the Lord Almighty, eat yourself to death then go to heaven and mark you, there’s no marriage in heaven as I stated earlier. Another alternative is to begin your relationship from scratch with that ‘baboon’, shave him clean, cut the tail, clip the nails and shape its lips and ears. Believe me at the end; it will entertain no one but you. It’ll bounce you in bed like a ball, love you and respect you.
Or better still, you can continue reading relationship manuals, wait for that kind of man you wish to have surface from the ground all your life while enriching the manual authors by buying every edition of theirs. When you are still single at 32, you’ll know what George Bush felt when he showed up in Vietnam!

KENYA VS NIGERIA MATCH
The
mouth-watering clash between the Harambee Stars and Super Eagles of
Nigeria is set to be played today at Moi International Sports Centre
Kasarani. The match which is a World Cup qualifier will see Celtic
midfielder Victor Wanyama handed the captain’s armband in place of the
suspended skipper Dennis Oliech.
Wanyama has humbly accepted the challenge to captain Stars and has admitted it was difficult decision. The last game featuring the two teams in Calabar saw the super eagles break Kenyan hearts by scoring a late equalizer to earn a 1-1 draw with the Kenyan national team.
The Scottish young player of the year has stressed that Kenya is a young team in transition but does not fear anyone. Wanyama who shone for his Celtic team in the just concluded season is set to guide the Stars past Nigeria by anchoring the midfield and stringing accurate passes, connecting the defense and the attack.
Harambee Stars Belgian coach Adel Amrouche has said that winning is important at this stage if Kenya are to revive their hopes of qualifying for the finals to be held in Brazil in 2014.
Kenya currently sits at the bottom of group F with two points after four matches. The stars have won none, drawn two and lost one. African champions Nigeria top the group with five points. They are level on points with Malawi while Namibia is third.
The Kenyan trio of Dennis oliech who plays for AC Ajaccio in the French Lique 1 , goalkeeper Arnold Origi and Parma midfielder MacDonald Mariga will miss the much anticipated clash. Oliech who is Kenya’s all-time highest goal scorer will be missed dearly and this leaves stars short of attacking options upfront. Al Nasr striker Kephan Aswani is widely expected to fit into the boots of Dennis. Batoto ba Mungu stopper Duncan Ochieng’ on the other hand will deputize for Arnold Origi.
Nigeria has never lost a single match to Kenya in 11 encounters. The fact that Kenya is playing the match on home soil will be an added advantage. The Stars will capitalize on the huge support of their home fans to ensure they collect 3 points and give them a huge boost in their hopes of moving to the next stage.
Emmanuel Emenike and Victor Moses of Nigeria will miss the match due to injuries. Nigeria has a rich talent though and may cause the Kenyan defence all sorts of problems.
The president of the Republic of Kenya, His Excellency Hon Uhuru Kenyatta, has pledged to award Harambee stars with 3 million shillings if they beat the Super eagles. Nairobi Senator Hon Mike Mbuvi Sonko has also promised to reward the national team an additional 1 million shillings & 200,000 shillings for every goal scored. This comes as great motivation for the team who have to depend on the support of the home crowd to crack the Nigerian defence.
The thriller will be played at 1600hrs local time. The referee of the day is Noumandiez Doue from Ivory Coast and his assistants are Songuifolo Yeo, Jean Claude & 4th official Dennis Dembele. In another group F fixture Namibia is set to host the Malawian team.

FORMER PRIME MINISTER HAS ACCESS TO THE JKIA VIP LOUNG
Nairobi ….June 4th 2013 ….. Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) would like to clarify that the former Prime Minister
and his wife were not denied access to the VIP lounge at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). KAA has confirmed that, contrary to reports appearing in sections of the media, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and his wife Ida were allowed access and the use of the Government VIP Lounge on Monday and last Friday respectively. However, the authority confirmed that no convoy can drive to the airside, because JKIA is a highly restricted security zone. According to national security regulations, only vehicle convoys belonging to the President of Kenya, visiting Heads of State and the Deputy President of Kenya can access the airside at any of the airports in Kenya. KAA also clarified that JKIA has three
VIP Lounges – the State Pavilion for the President of Kenya and visiting Heads of State, the VIP III Lounge for the
Deputy President of Kenya and Retired Heads of State and the Government VIP Lounge for Ambassadors and Government VIPs. The former Prime Minister has unrestricted access to the Government
VIP Lounge. Corporate Affairs Kenya Airports Authority
Kenya "MPIGS salary"
Your money at work? The amounts you see are in Kenya Shillings, $1=80 shillings.
MPs react to Uhuru's reprimand with threats to slash president's pay by 57pc, cut independent commissions' budget by 43pc and to lower VAT...... As you get angry, mad and furious...remember you voted them in and we can stop them. Stand up for change and defeat greediness. Please friends don't seat on the sidelines on this debate, call your MP and tell him NO WE CAN"T ACCEPT IT.
Making bootable USB drive for Windows Vista or Windows 7
To make the bootable USB drive for Windows Vista or Windows 7, you need to have Windows Vista or 7 installed on your computer. It is recommended that you have a flash drive of at least 4 GB in size, in order to store all the necessary files.
Note: Before you start, plug in the USB drive and backup any files you have stored on the USB drive. The drive will be formatted during this process and all files on it will be deleted.
Tip: You will need a Windows Vista or Windows 7 disc for these instructions to be successful.
1. Open an elevated Windows command line window by clicking Start, typing in cmd in the search text field, then pressing CTRL + Shift + Enter on your keyboard (at the same time). You can also access this by navigating to Start, All Programs, Accessories, right-click with your mouse on the Command Prompt menu item and select Run as Administrator.
2. At the command prompt, type cd c:\windows\system32 to change the directory to the Windows system32 directory. Ensure your USB drive is plugged in and type DISKPART and press Enter. Then type LIST DISK and press Enter.
See our diskpart command page for additional information on this command.
3. You will see a listing of the disk drives connected to your computer. Find the disk number of your USB drive and type SELECT DISK [USB disk #], where "[USB disk #]" is the disk # for your USB drive. It should now state that your USB drive is the selected disk. If you're not sure what disk is the USB disk, eject the USB drive, perform step number 2 again, connect the USB drive again, and compare the results. Usually the USB drive will be the last drive.
4. Type in the following commands, one by one, pressing Enter after each command.

DIASPORA REDEFINED
The
word 'diaspora', when mentioned to Kenyans, brings a frenzy of its kind.
It rekindles memories of those fortunate enough to explore the corners
of the world. People think of their clansmen who changed their
vernacular accent on earning a flight to the other worlds. (They call it
the First World, while ours is relegated to the last position, the
Third World. Since when did we have more
than one world? And going by history, isn't our good old Gondwanaland
the 1st World, being the cradle for mankind?) Well, the name is also
given to Kenya's constituency number one!
Mind teasers aside. We in Moi know the semantic value of 'diaspora' better. We have got a better meaning that articulately fits our context. We know of the Houses, where about six Hostel J-sized rooms can be agglutinated to serve as one big family-sized room. Family? Yes, family. Or what would you call six people who live together in a room? Do not forget the stylish furniture, self-contained room with an in-built loo and a vegetable garden outside the bungalows.
Diaspora in Moi is also that place where you live in school, yet far from school. Tongue twisted? This is only possible in this university. You leave two kilometres from school, yet believe to belong together with others who live just ten strides from the lecture hall. Unfortunately, you cannot claim you're not in Moi because there's no fence in the campus to prove your argument.
Definitely, residents of this place are ever late for class. Not that they don't wake up early, far from that. They actually wake up earlier than any other person in the school thanks to the crowing of cocks and lowing of cows from neighbours, I mean
villagers.
They do this to avoid the 'Electricity Rush Hour'. That's what they call it there. You have to wake up earlier than the others so that your coil can at least hit a faint orange colour (the two phase circuit does not allow red) for you to have a meal ready. 'Rush Hour' can only be avoided by either waking up early or waiting until everyone else is asleep. During any other time, you can just test the heat of the coil by literally sitting on it!
When he gets a ‘Mbos‘ in Hostel K, many are the times he is mistaken for a worker. Who is this student who wears gumboots and parks a bicycle outside the hostel? Some actually beg assistance from him;'... haki utanitengenezea stima lini...?'
At the Students’ Centre, where he rests (not idles) after the two-kilometre walk to school, one can’t help but wonder about his soiled shoes. What else do you expect of someone who involuntary swam in mud while coming to class?
However s/he has the strongest bones, thanks to the hard water from the wells. Still, there’s no need for a gym to keep fit. The manual water-lifts serve him better, free, naturally and spontaneously. While using this water though, serious caution has to be taken to avoid ingesting filth from the confined hole. Extra soap to is needed to fight the hardness during laundry.
Those in the diaspora are always prayerful, that Pita Mashoka, that Master’s student who majors in Cranial Remoulding, dies before his graduation. He is a brute whose Fourth Year research project caused so much havoc that no one can ever wish to see his Master’s thesis.
So, next time, laugh not when you find a lady who is more muscular than you!
