Kibaki is obviously in NO camp!

There are widespread rumours that Kibaki is singing YES during the day then leading the "NO" team at night.

Here are some intriguing facts:

1. Kibaki has never been a reformer for the 50 years he has been in politics!
2. All Central province MPs are also singing YES during the day but holding secret NO meetings at night.
3. Kibaki is a staunch Catholic and we know the Catholics are singing a loud NO to the new constitution.
4. How comes no one has been arrested two months after the words "National Security" were criminally sneaked in the draft yet AG Amos Wako blamed the NSIS? (National Security Intelligence Service)
5. The secretive NSIS which is headed by Major Gichangi who is also from Othaya takes it's orders from only one person, the president of the Republic of Kenya!
6. How comes after a whole 48 hours since the Uhuru Park bombing, no one has been arrested or interrogated?
7.How comes Ruto who is in NO was not arrested and taken to court yet he's on record as saying there will be a big war between Christians and Muslims if the draft constitution is passed?
8. How comes Kibaki's biggest friends and advisers like Michuki, Karume, Joe Wanjui etc have not been heard during this debate and they appear to have gone into hiding?
9. If YES wins, Raila's political fortunes will dramatically rise and may catapult him into state house. Do you think Kibaki can be happy with a Raila's presidency?
10. How comes the vocal Jimmy Kibaki, Judy Kibaki and Lucy Kibaki are also very silent?

UoN Coackroaches Sent Packing

Rioting thugs from Nairobi Uni who were stoning, burning and looting for the last 3 days have now been kicked out. I saw from a distance as some of these sick goons terrified and robbed a helpless woman near the university way roundabout two days ago. The whole area that occupies the UoN, from Mamlaka Road to KBC area appear cool and calm thanks to the swift action taken by their VC prof Magogha. Gone are the days when SONU elections used to be peaceful and produce credible leaders like Kabando wa Kabando, Danson Mungatana, Wafula Buke, James Orengo among others. These days, SONU leaders are elected purely on tribal lines and then swiftly ally themselves with leaders from their respective tribal backgrounds purely for financial motives. I support the closure of this once famous and revered learning institution until common sense prevails in the student's small brains. And did I say Koinange Street will also be calmer especially at night?

When did you last give the waiter a tip?

Yes, when was the last time you showed your appreciation after a quick service and a superb meal even though the waitress wasn't that cute? I love chatting to people whether it's mama mboga, watchie, doctor, matatu driver etc. So the other day I was in this city restaurant just having some fine lunch. I just picked up a conversation with the lady waiter since she wasn't busy at the time. And what she told me left completely astounded. Hers is a life trapped in exploitation, low pay, rude customers, long hours..etc. Talk about unthankful jobs!

The lady duly informed me she gets paid just 200 bob daily (worse than peanuts where are the leaders she voted for?), after enduring all the madness. Some ignorant fellas may think this waitress is foolish to stick to such a job, but what choice does she have? Even with her fine educational background, it's completely hard to find a decent job in Kenya, where universities here are churning out thousands of graduates who can't be absorbed into the local job market. So most people pick any job that comes along praying for a better one later on. For your info, my barber, who happens to receive a generous tip after his service is a graduate but "jobless" when it comes to his exercising his degree.

OK, don't give me that "education only prepares you for the future" nonsense.

To cut a long story short, please be thankful if the service you received was satisfactory, offer a tip if you really afford it! Come on, that's not much considering how much you wasted last weekend in the clubs! On the other case if the service is poor, just don't tip and never return to the shoddy place ever again. I have sat in various pubs and restaurants and I can say tipping is never in our genes as Kenyans. Actually, some waiters and waitresses are so shocked when given, say a twenty bob tip, that they think the customer "forgot" the change. That 20 bob from Wanjiku, Otieno and Mohamed goes a long way in boosting the morale of the waiters and feeding the little ones back home. LET'S TIP!

Hopeless Citi Hoppas...Gone To The Dogs!

Citi Hoppa's management must be dead asleep as their service to the public continues to go pear shaped, from bad to worse! In the tight and hot battle for commuters, the Citi Hoppa's are outdoing the matatus when it comes to crude behaviour, recklessness and utter greed. Just take a walk along valley road and you will see all the madness which include over-lapping, reckless driving, insults to commuters and over charging which I call out-right theft.

The other day my girlfriend started feeling unwell at work and so we decided to rush and see her doctor near Nairobi Hospital. We decided to take a Citi Hoppa number 46 outside the GPO (Telkom) and the conductor assured the bus would pass outside the Upper Hill Medical Centre which is situated next to Bishop Road off Ralph Bunche Rd. Of Course it was a big lie! The driver refused to use the route even though the road was clear without any jam.

To make things worse, when I alighted at Valley Road, the bus quickly left before my girlfriend could alight and she was driven 200 metres further away, never mind she was vomiting and sick! We were also overcharged for all the madness, 40 bob each, just like those going to Kawangware, never mind that it was a short distance of about 1 kilometre. The main reason we had taken the Citi Hopper was because we had been lied to it would turn left towards Nbi Hosp, but it didn't. For the same ride to where we got dumped, KBS was charging just 20 bob. Talk about a good company going to the dogs! And it's not the first time I have been disappointed by the hopeless Citi Hoppa.

Dictators Snooze..As Africa Burns!

Greedy Kenyans Enter The Pub Business.

I recently had a nasty experience when I went to watch footie in some city joint. My evening was ruined by a huge bill which landed on my table. I couldn't possibly believe that beer was being sold at almost 200 bob per bottle in a normal restaurant which had a horrible service. It's one of the many joints where the waiter will disappear with your change for hours until you wrestle with the crowd to find him or her which is a harder task than finding a needle in the haystack.

Welcome the the world of greedy entrepreneurs who have swamped the entertainment industry to make a quick buck before greed blows on their businesses. There's a lot of greed out there. I know to start any biz in Nai is a costly affair where one is reluctantly conned by being asked to pay a "goodwill" fee which can run into millions. So obviously many businessmen want to recoup that quickly but by hiking prices and ripping off Kenyans, they soon face imminent collapse.

Why should some joints sell beer as if it's gold yet there are some nice pubs out there which sell at reasonable offer? Why should Kenyans entertain these rip off joints and give in to exploitation and greed? It's about time Kenyans voted with their wallets and said NO to such establishments that are just after only one thing, a quick buck. My free advise to these deluded pubs is simple. Respect your clients, be reasonably priced and offer a decent service. You will live long to enjoy the fruits of labour.
