JJ Mugambi Arimi with his classmate in the kindergarten have already published a book asking for votes for the president of USA. The power of freedom!

This kind of freedom liberates and empowers. It never suffocates. It cherishes and loves the true essence of humanity.One can fail to appreciate why America is called the land of the free and the home of the brave. Bravo USA.
People of Imenti Central can also enjoy this kind of freedom if they choose carefully their leaders. Leaders who are not dancing with the Hyenas and Wolfs while pretending to care for the electorates. There is someone who believes it can be done and that is W Mugambi Arimi.

CAN ANYONE REFUTE THAT THIS IS NOT THE TRUE PICTURE OF 98% OF THE RURAL ROADS IN KENYA

The other day when Hon Raila the minister of roads, went throughout the country inspecting roads as if he was born on the moon. The roads he was inspecting were nowhere but only paths. Our leaders should stop being hypocrites and pretenders.Look at this safari rally car. It tells everything about the state of roads in Kenya. The Kenyan vehicle owners spend fortunes in trying to repair and maintain their vehicles, forcing one to wonder if there is may be a collution between our leaders and spare parts shop owners.

The dust is the order of the majority of most of the roads. Can this phenomenon be changed? YES!

If these super machines are overwhelmed this much what about the common vehicles of a common man?
There is noway development can be acheived when our road system is like this!
When the going gets tough-------?
If for sure this rally driver is finding it very hard and rough to controll this ultra-super machine, what about an ordinary matatu owner?. Why should our roads look like this while people are paying taxes? Who has been pocketing our money? Look how this road looks like. Within no time this machine will be reduced into another junk.

WHAT OTHERS SAYS?

By Dickson Mwirabua
I am amazed at the amount of dust those rally cars can raise. It is even more amazing to see them drive through such terrain.
It is a pity that the 'mwananchi' goes out to enjoy the spectacle oblivious of why it is so. The most amazing thing is that the people go out to enjoy the misery they have been put in without realizing their condition. But 'Alas!' that is why we need leaders like you who can see something differrent while others think it is business as usual.
Keep it up.

No wonder Mugambi's Land Rover died unceremoniously

WHEN LOVE, CARE AND LIBERTY IS THE GUIDING SPIRIT

Teachers and pupils of Mariene primary school were thrilled and overjoyed to receive balls all the way from America.This was love in action and that is what we are calling upon all the kenyans, leaders in particular to do to the people they lead. If people were not there, what would they lead? Stones on the roads?

The youths of Mariene ST. John Methodist Church unloads boxes of medical supplies and balls which mugambi Arimi had secured all the way from USA.
During the Sunday service the items were presented to the Clinic management as well as the youth leadership to ensure accountability. In the below picture the then Clinic chairlady, Mrs Grace Gikunda is receiving the boxes of medical supply donations. This is clear evidence that development can be achieved when love and vision is there.











The land Rover below was bought to enhance development by helping Mugambi's parents during coffee harvesting seasons. However, the machine died before it could even give the person who purchased it a ride. The reason for its death? Roads with pothole which can swallow a whole cow. This must be stopped by all means.

TO THE KENYAN YOUTHS

Anil Ambani exhorts youths to join politicsBANGALORE, DHNS:
Reliance Industries Vice-Chairman and Managing Director Anil D Ambani called upon the educated youth of the country to join politics in order to accelerate the country’s progress.Delivering the 29th annual convocation of the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIM-B) here on Saturday, Mr Ambani regretted that 75 per cent of the members of Parliament were more than 50 years of age and 60 per cent were above 60 years. “Educated youth will be an added advantage to Indian politics,” he said.Welcoming the new trend of educated youngsters joining politics in the country, he cited the examples of Sachin Pilot, Omar Abdullah and Jyotiraditya Scindia, who are all management graduates.Mr Ambani observed that 75 per cent of India’s population was under 40 years of age and this provides a tremendous advantage to the country. Mr Ambani was all praise for Bangalore and said the City represented the power of youth. He said through IT and IT enabled services, Bangalore has truly demonstrated the power of youth. He named personalities such as Azim Premji, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Narayan Murthy and Vijay Mallya, who belong to Bangalore.Mr Ambani urged the IIMB to start programmes for ministers as well, and not only restrict it to bureaucrats. He also stressed on the participation of women in the country’s affairs and said it was a matter of concern that only nine per cent of the graduating class were women. Pointing towards the audience, he said it was also a matter of concern that only 27 of the 299 new graduates from the IIM-B were women. Sharing his views about the country’s growth in recent times, Mr Ambani said when he had graduated in 1982, he never imagined the strides the country would make in the coming years. “Each one of you has a contribution to make. With all of us contributing our mite, it should not be difficult for India to become a economic superpower,” he said, attracting applause from the audience.Mr Ambani stressed on attitude and value-system, which he said was essential for one’s progress. He said his biggest learning in his 25 years of corporate life, came from things such as showing respect for elders, constant humility, parental love, care and upbringing and belief in value system.He then urged the audience to spread the phenomenon of LOVE, which according to him stood for Learning (and sharing), Opportunities, Value System and Ethics.

Bro. Mugambi,The LORD be with you , you mighty man of valor.(Judges 6:10).You remember Gideon, the children of Israel under the oppression from the philistines? The people of Imenti Central and Kenya as a whole need Gideons to save the p[people from the oppression of greedy leaders. This week in our press here in Kenya, a shocking revelation was made that our wealth is controlled by 10 % of Kenyans. 90 % of Kenyans are poor, actually below poverty line. This is our Kenya wish our leaders will borrow a tip from Nelson Mandela. This great son of Africa once said" Whatever a person believes in , he must try to help the community to eradicate poverty, which is the greatest attack on human dignity." Mahatma Gadhi too had the similar counsel even before Madela. " Just as many drops of water make an ocean, so if we wish each other well,we can form a an ocean of friendship. How the world would change if everyone lived in spirit of love."He said. Lack of love has made our leaders greedy and we now want CHANGE. God bless.

JM.
What you have said is evident everywhere in the whole Republic of Kenya. The good news is that there is hope. People like you and me who are sincere and honest can remedy the situation. The match towards our true destiny has just started. We should never cow or shrink from the responsibility of the hour. Our people are like slave. The elites are the perpetuators of Neo_colonialism which the true son of Jamuhuri will stand against irrespective of the consequences.

LEADERSHIP CHARACTERISTICS

by Karlene Sugarman, M.A.
"Leadership is like gravity. You know it's there, you know it exists, but how do you define it?" Former San Francisco 49er Tight End, Dr. Jamie Williams
Great leaders come in many forms. In one sense solid leadership is a subjective thing, in another there are certain characteristics that are, by consensus, typical of quality leadership. Leadership is the process of influencing team members to work hard towards, and be committed to, team goals. Leaders can either be task-oriented or person-oriented. Task-oriented leaders are most interested in training, instructing behavior, performance and winning. Person-oriented leaders are more interested in the interpersonal relationships on the team. Great leaders in sports are both task- and people-oriented, but lean more towards being task-oriented.
Leaders must possess the qualities they are trying to incorporate into their team. For example, if you want members to be confident, have self-control, be disciplined, etc., then you must first possess all these traits. One of the most powerful things you can do is lead by example. You serve as an influential role model for your players and everything you do will be watched. Vince Lombardi says, "Leaders are made, they are not born; and they are made just like anything else has every been made in this country - by hard work" (Dowling, 1970, p. 179).
Great leaders are often scholars in their field and are intelligent. Like all great scholars, they aren't know-it-alls, they feel there is always more to learn and have a willingness to admit mistakes. Outstanding leaders make decisions based on facts, and apply common sense and simplicity to complex tasks. You must select the right strategy for the right situation, even when the pressure is overwhelming. They are well organized, detail-oriented and, due to their thorough preparation, rarely caught off guard. Their great knowledge allows them to be great educators and motivators. They are also smart enough to know that many times they will have to alter what they originally planned due to changing circumstances, so flexibility and having an open mind are crucial to leadership.
Successful leaders are not only highly driven and intrinsically motivated but also foster that same enthusiasm in their associates. Charles Schwab says, "I consider my ability to arouse enthusiasm among the men the greatest asset I possess, and the way to develop the best that is in a man is by appreciation and encouragement" (Carnegie, 1964, p. 34). They have a high energy level, create task excitement and are catalysts for positive action. One must be a good motivator and have the gift for verbal persuasion to get athletes to "buy in" to the fact that hard work does pay off and that the pursuit of excellence, while a tough journey, is a worthwhile one. One cannot take motivation for granted. Even the players who are always motivated can use some outside motivation from coaches. They must be encouraged as people and as players.
Great leadership encompasses confidence, assertiveness and mutual respect. Great leaders take calculated risks and are innovative and confident in their decisions to do so. They realize that being timid will not get them where they want to go. This confidence and assertiveness will usually trickle down to the team members. The quality and effectiveness of a great leader will often show itself by way of the team's effort as a whole. A coach's confidence in the team can give team members added strength to do extraordinary things. One also must have respect for the players; if athletes are not treated with genuine respect, they will respect the coach. Sincerity is important because players can usually tell if positive talk is phony, and in that case they won't take it to heart.
To get the most out of each player and make the team experience a positive one, one must understand the individuality of players and the dynamics of group interaction. It is essential to know members well enough to be able to assess their strengths and weaknesses and use them to their fullest potential within the context of the team. Systematic delegation--getting the right players doing the right job--is vital on teams. For example, the selection of the right person to be team captain can be important. This is why it is so important for a coach to get to know each of the players as well as possible.
The great leader is a master in the art of communication. He or she is aware of the strong need for actions to match words. Leaders need to possess a willingness to listen to input with an open mind. Two-way communication, being approachable and having an "open door" policy makes for very good team relations. This is crucial in building a trusting and open environment. It must be an established norm that it is okay to ask for help and that players can communicate openly without fear of punishment. The way one communicates with and leads a team may play a big part in their motivation to work hard.
The goal is to push the team to perform to their full potential. The coach, along with the players, must set obtainable yet demanding team goals. Strong leadership becomes a moot point if the players are uninterested in the mission and goals. Coaches must develop a strong rapport which involves trust and confidence on both ends. "Good leadership consists of motivating people to their highest levels by offering them opportunities, not obligations" (Tzu, p. 135).
Murray & Mann stated that a proficient leader "has a vision, an intense focus on outcome and results, a realistic strategy to carry out the vision and the ability to communicate the vision and rally support of others" (Williams, 1993, p. 87). Leaders are there to coach, direct and nudge players in the direction of the goals. They have a strong ability to pass their intensity along to their others. They are always "in the game" right along with the players.
A leader guides a team, not rules a team. He or she charts a course, gives direction and develops the social and psychological environment (Martens, 1987). The leader--either the coach or a player with leadership qualities--provides an atmosphere where others can learn and grow. A coach must give some responsibility to the group and have the courage to foster independence. Otherwise the members will feel that they are not trusted to take care of themselves and will be irresponsible. There must be a balance where the coach accepts his or her share of responsibility and gives some back to the team members.
This article has looked at a number of characteristics that seem to go hand in hand with outstanding leadership. Excellence in leadership is acquired by people who have a strong sense of vision, have passion and are able to get people to commit 100% and take the necessary action to see that vision become a reality. Great leaders excel in the art of communication and motivation, mutual respect, instilling confidence and enthusiasm, and showing credibility and integrity on a consistent basis.

AT RWANKWARE MARKET( ALONG KARIENE CHARIA ROAD)

At Kiamakoro primary school, the kids are preparing their school garden for planting. They are more than willing to do whatever their wonderful teachers instructs them to do.
However, when you think deeply of their way forward you come to realize many will end at this stage of the education. With the high rate of unemployment in Kenya these kids have no skills to compete with the graduates from middle colleges and universities. The problem is not a today problem but a perennial one. The two former regime planted the seed of don't care attitude which today we are reaping.
The solution to this problem is a simple one if our leaders are willing to learn from the south east Asian countries. Singapole, south Korea, Taiwan, etc are good examples. Our constant relationship with the west has been our main cause of stagnation and lack of progress because the west has been in bed with the looters and the grabbers. Look for instance the current case of angloleasing. France and Britain are part and percel of this scandal but when you read from the media they speak like angels.
If we refuse to be bamboozled by these tyrants our society will progress. Our children are crying for help and we must do every to answer their call.
These pictures are a good witness of the situation in the whole of Central Imenti Primary schools and the whole country at large. How comes nobody hears the cry of these annocent children? Because greed and evil is the middle name of majority of our politicians and appointed leaders. They may give their excuses but these pictures testifies against their conscience.



Until these children are given their whole humanity, we who can see far and can feel with them will never shrink from the responsibility of the hour neither will we keep quiet. These children are yearning for education and a bright future. In the contrary what have they received? A raw deal.









Look at the roads they walk on. They have been reduced into paths while our MPs are scooping millions.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

Mr. Mugambi, Iam happy to know that you are a man with great dreams. God is going to make it a reality. Count on me as your prayer partner in seeking God's guidance as you prepare to take that parliamentary seat. I am happy to see and read your profile. Have I recognised Prof. bishop Nthamburi in one of the photos? He is one great man who supported my college studies financially so much. He too supported the publishing of my first book-IN PURSUIT OF ETERNITY. Mr. Mugambi, keep on keeping on. You know what; I was once a house boy in Buruburu in Nairobi after dropping from school inform 3 but my dream never left me. I was for mass communication even then . Two years later , the family I was serving took me to school and later I joined mass comm. college . The first Tv programme i did and went on air, I had buruburu employer as my guest. So with God all things are possible.
Barikiwa sana na Mungu.
By Jeremy Muthee Publisher of IN PURSUIT OF ETERNITY

THESE ARE GRADE 4 PUPILS AT ST MARTIN ACADEMY

These young scientists are conducting a physics experiment. Can we boast of the same of our standard 4 pupils?

We as Kenyans should search our hearts and our ethos to see where we have gone wrong.

OUR PEOPLE NEED CLEAN AND SAFE DRINKING WATER AND WE WILL ENSURE THEY GET IT

MUGAMBI ARIMI CARES AND HE LOVES HIS PEOPLE THIS FLAG CARRIES ALOT OF MEANING. Many died for its creation and our anthem was devloped from the essence of what many believed and believe today. HAKI IWE NGAO NA MLINZI. Is it true today? Whose haki? For the elites and the powerful?. Look at the 90% majority of the Kenyans. They work very hard but get totally nothing.We say no to this kind of treatment and overexploitation. They may think people are not serious but a day is coming when they shall run but won't be able to hide. The people of Imenti Central are slowly waking up. They are tired of drinking unlean and unsafe water. Almost everyone is complaining of amoeba.This can be solved once and for all.

This is the plan W . Mugambi Arimi has for the water purification and treatment which, has been missing for a long time and the conscequences have been very serious.YES! Water can be purified and our people can avoid much of the pain they go through due waterborne diseases and time wasted going for treament.
The plant can be built and maintained very cheaply with proper leadership and people who have vision. The plant can be sustained because our people are hard working.
Time has come for people of Central Imenti to demand what they need from their leaders and say no more lies. Our humanity and dignity has been abused for so long. Time is up for the abusers.
The Lady in the picture with Mugambi Arimi comes from dangwene area near kiamakoro primary school.She has been waiting the whole of her life for a liberator and she was happy to meet him. Her hopes were raised and she thanked God that there is a remnant of loving and caring people in Central Imenti.

IN TERMS OF EDUCATION MUGAMBI HAS THE BEST AFTER FIGHTING ALL THE WAY FROM NURSERY SCHOOL.

All along he has fought a good fight. He has demonstrated he can perform even in very harsh situations. The next phase is to liberate people of Central Imenti from the bondage of perrenial political liers and the ant-development goons of Central Imenti. Some of these political thugs were directly involved in the refusal by DC Joseph Korir's, the current MP for Mogotio when mugammbi was to fly to USA after winning a scholarship.

WHY RUN FOR MP 2012

I was born and raised in Central Imenti and I have experienced all the troubles and desperation our people have gone through. I have tried for the last ten years to sensitize various aspects of human rights to make sure that our people are treated right. I have participated in various projects in Kenya, central Imenti and internationally all aimed at helping humanity.
Central Imenti is one of the most development conscious areas in the entire republic of Kenya. Hoewever, due to the bad and poor politics of patronage and string pulling for the last 40 years, the area has rugged behind in a terrible way. Roads are not only impersable but in some areas they have ceased from existence. Clean drinking water has evaded our people all through these 40 years of our independence. This has been compounded by the explosion of population in the area therefore, putting a lot of pressure to the little existing infrastructures and especially water. Power is everything at this time and space. However, many areas are still dreaming of the day when they will ever find themselves switching on and off their own lights. Schools in the area are like chicken cubes. Our children are better than chicken. People of Central Imenti pay taxes through their various bussiness and agricultural enterprises and so need better schools than they have today. Our agricultural produce fetch a lot in the international market but our farmers are the lowest paid. This is injustice and blutant stealing. They should be paid what they are due.
Central Imenti has been treated as a second class area relative our sister constituencies. This must stop. Our leaders have been cowards when it comes to demanding for what is rightfully ours. Time has matured(kairos) to demand to be treated and respected when it comes to making decisions which affect our people.

In Summary Central Imenti needs the following immediately:

1. Clean and safe drinking water
2. Electricity in every homestead
3. Tarmacked roads and where it is not possible currently they should be graded and well maintained.
4. Modern elementary and secondary schools.
5. Modern and well equiped, stocked and staffed hospitals and dispensaries.
6. Our coffee, tea, horticultural and dairy farmers should be paid what is their due.

All this can be done with good and competent leadership.

God bless Central Imenti and our country Kenya.

PEOPLE WANT JUSTICE

GOD IS CALLING EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US TO PURSUE RIGHTEOUSNESS, FAITH, LOVE, AND PEACE.
FROM 2 TIMOTHY 2:14_26
By W. Mugambi Arimi

What is the meaning of the word PURSUE?
It means to follow in order to capture, to overtake; it is used metaphorically meaning a desire geared toward seeking after peace.
What is the meaning of Righteousness (DIKAIOSUNE)? It means the character or quality of being right or just, =Rightness- Which denotes an attribute of God = just=without prejudice or partiality= rightwise i.e. straight way=right conduct. All this means Justice.
What is justice?
In the pledge of allegiance to the flag we end with “WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL” which everybody except Wilson learnt as little children. Justice in the majority of many courts of law is mostly represented at the entrances by a lady/woman (a goddess) who stands sometimes blindfolded_ a symbol of Impartiality. Other times the goddess holds up the balance scales; the scales reflect the weighing to find what is true and fair, testing the true value of what is weighed. These attributes are the basis for the judgment the goddess executes as symbolized by the sword (Biblically it represented by the word of God as in Eph 6:17) often carried in her right hand. It is closely guarded meaning it is not there to be misused. It guarded with compassion. Compassion is represented as feminine. No wonder the guardian is then a lady. In these images we have much of our common notions of justice, truth, and fairness.
For the Greek thinkers (from whom we have borrowed heavily), justice was one of the four of Thomas Aquinas’ cardinal virtues=cardio (Latin) (hinge on which other virtues pivoted)). These were justice, wisdom/prudence, courage/fortitude, and moderation/temperance or self control. Virtue in this case relates to the nature of noble-minded, culturally developed person. T the Romans it signified the firmness and solidity that one who was noble maintained in public and private life. The classical tradition (epitomized by Socrates, Plato and Aristotle divided virtue into two categories: those that were moral: having to do with character, and those that were intellectual: having to do with the mind).Important to this was the concept of the mean, sometimes called “the golden mean.” All errors with respect to the virtues involve either an excess or a deficiency of the virtue in question. Thus the virtue of courage means that we ought to avoid the extreme of rashness or cowardice. The shortcoming of this argument in relation to the biblical teaching is that good cannot by attain by insight only. Thus Paul comments “what has Athens to do with Jerusalem? Although we can not deny that our Christian character has been profoundly shaped by these Greek influences. E.g.Thomas Aquinas. The fundamental assumption to this thinking is that grace (which is by faith) perfect nature.
While the Greeks and the Romans dealt with this at the level of philosophy and politics, on the other hand the people of the book (Hebrews) not only with philosophy and bureaucracy but also with their concrete relational principles; by providing much of the moral and ethical dimension to justice and therefore what we have inherited through our Judeo-Christian heritage.
Well, the scripture makes strong statements about the concept of Justice!Unexpected End of Formula
v That justice is the dimension of God_ for the Jews, justice was not merely a human quest in the context of a world ruled by fickle gods, as among the Greeks, but rooted directly in the character of God. Thus the biblical witness begins with the fact that Yahweh was a God of ‘justice’ and it is from this that the richness of biblical justice expands as stated in Ps 72: 1-4 99:4. Justice in this case was found through divine revelation and not through human searching. There was an inherent and revealed justice which God, and to a limited extent nature itself, revealed. All nations are subject to this justice Amos 1-2 and Romans 1.
v Justice is an ethical and moral category. The moral dimension of justice is demonstrated by the fact that the very word for justice in the scriptures is often translated as “righteousness” Justice is not simply a matter of structures, and certainly not abstractions, but is intimately connected with right living. In the new Testament we are encouraged to “seek first his kingdom and his righteousness” (Mt 6:33) To do justice is to act rightly. Thus justice is not so much a political or legal theory as a moral and spiritual call.
v Justice is the duty of humanity under God. That justice is the demand of God for all nations, and the special duty of Israel, the covenant people, is made clear from the prophetic calls and denunciations. Injustice is condemned. Amos declares, “let justice roll like a river” (Amos 5:24), So central is this duty that God rejects the worship of the people who allow or participate in injustice around them.(Amos 5:21-24).
v Justice is chiefly/highly action, not philosophy: In the Old Testament the prophets insist on justice “at the gate” –the local courts where the elders ruled. It was a justice that required fair dealing in business transactions, credit arrangements, buying and selling of goods, the administration of justice generally. Its enemies were privilege, bribery and unfair advantages (Amos 5:11-15; 8:4)
v Justice is the concern for the weak against power and privilege. If there were any place where injustice might have been rampart in the Old Testament was with the poor, widows and orphans (in Kenya orphans are being fed with Dog food) who lacked the knowledge or power to assure justice and were often victims of sharp traders and corrupt politicians (while I am speaking here the dragon of corruption in Kenya is snorting and resisting the noose of justice- talk of 1980 coffee scandal). Justice is a concern of those who are most vulnerable.
WHAT IS FAITH?
Faith is not a single act, though it begins with a single act. Faith is an action, a commitment of one’s life to Jesus Christ. It is a process of continuous growth, development and Christian nurture from less to more mature stages. Faith is as much a verb or action as it is a noun. The concept of spiritual growth and development is found throughout Scripture.
According to Fowler, a person comes to the activity of faith through one’s community. For children that community is their parents. The community expands to include their Churches’ teachers and pastors, their denomination and eventually a community of committed believers regardless of denominational affiliation. Faith involves the person, person community, and God.
Faith has six developmental stages
1. Projective faith. This stage is based on the authority of one’s family and / primary caregiver. People in this stage imitate their authority figure and copy what they do. Ultimate reality for this stage is whatever the authority figures say is true and ultimate. Children believe whatever they are told by their parents.
2. Mythic-literal faith. This where authority is based on an enlarged community of faith e.g. Church.
3. Synthetic-conventional faith. This where a person synthesizes and identifies with a larger group of believers beyond his or her immediate Church and accepts their explanation of ultimate reality. E.g. catechism, Church membership etc. People at this stage accept the standard doctrine and other teaching of their Church and of the people in their denomination. Hence the word synthetic-conventional
4. Individuating-reflective Faith. Persons at this stage begin to evaluate and self-consciously reflect on the issues and problems associated with their faith commitments. This is the stage when one internalizes one’s faith. Ultimate truth is understood not just because it was taught by one’s faith community and acceptable doctrines of the church, but because it has been critically examined and accepted as one’s own. This strong commitment to this. This stage is said to start at late adolescence to adulthood, but many adults never develop this far.
5. Paradoxical-consolidated. This is clearly a stage of faith development that even few adults achieve. People at this stage recognize the validity of others’ beliefs yet clearly internalize their own. Their own truth is clearly and consciously held together with the recognition that “all truth is God’s truth.” A person at this stage goes beyond the clearly defined theological formulas and continues to probe deeper, higher and broader to discover more of God’s revelation. They live in the tension of having accepted clearly defined truth for oneself and yet recognizing that one has glimpsed only a small part of the ocean of God’s truth. There is more to be known of God than the creed and Church can teach us. We are responsible to search more and know the God of our own faith.
6. Universalizing Faith. This stage is very rare. The paradoxes and complexities of ones faith that have been wrestled with in the previous stages become less important compared to being swept up into the oneness of being in Christ. Example here is the anti- Nazi theologian Bonhoeffer, whom it said he was hanged in a similar fashion Christ, was crucified. In this stage ultimate truth is perceived not just as propositional but as relational. This stage calls forth a radical commitment to the ethics of the kingdom and an active participation in working out the righteousness of the kingdom of God in this present age.
WHAT IS PEACE? (EIRENE).
It is the harmonious relationship between men/women, between nations, friendliness, the harmonized relationship between God and man which is accomplished through the Gospel.

UNITED WE STAND

WHY W.MUGAMBI ARIMI IS DETERMINED TO RUN FOR PARLIAMENT

Corruption in Kenya, has caused untold suffering to many in many places both in Kenya and outside the country. We have been called all kinds of names by the west but wait a minute, where does all this corruption stem from. The truth is well said by the swahili saying "Za mkuu hakinuki".
By Joseph Murimi
Swedish ambassador to Kenya, Bo Goranson, has censured Western countries for not assisting Kenya in its fight against corruption.
Goranson singled out France, which, he said, had embarrassed the Western countries for its failure to co-operate with the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (Kacc) investigators in their bid to uncover the faces behind the Anglo leasing scandal. He said France was under pressure to help Kenya uncover the faces behind the scandal.
"It is very embarrassing to all of us (Western countries). If we have to be credible we have to come with clean linen,’’ Goranson said.
Goranson spoke a day after Kacc told of its frustrations in attempts to interview directors of a French company. Kacc deputy director Ms Fatuma Sichale said investigators had been unable to interview at least 75 witnesses abroad over the multi-billion scandals.
Sichale said commission’s investigators had on two occasions travelled to France to interview directors of Francois Charles Oberthur Fiduciare (FCOF) without any success.
Goransson said the credibility of Western donors in the fight against corruption was at stake and that they had asked France to assist Kenya. He, however, said the French embassy in Kenya had already initiated moves to help Kenya interrogate the directors at the centre of the scandals.
The ambassador said Kenya had not yet approached Sweden for any assistance in fighting graft.
