MARAGA'S Campaign plans



In a mature democracy such as USA political campaigns are primarily funded through a combination of individual donations, political action committees (PACs), and sometimes public funding. 


David Maraga, CJ emeritus is a potential presidential candidate in 2027 elections. His plans to fund his campaign effectively by relying on small, grassroots contributions from ordinary Kenyans, starting as low as KSh 10 or 50, rather than depending on wealthy donors or political elites is liberating. 


By engaging with communities through nationwide town hall meetings and collaborating with influencers like musicians and content creators to appeal to younger voters, Maraga aims to create a people-driven movement. It is exactly what Kenya should embrace, to do away with garbage in, garbage out in Kenya's political campaigns. 


We no longer need stolen money being used to mobilize us, we need Kenyans to fund their own candidates just the same way USA does.

🌍✨ Discover the Bukusu: A Living Tapestry of Clan, Tradition, and Community in Western Kenya ✨🌍

| Image Courtesy of Bukusu Arts and Traditions| Introduction   My personal interest in this subject is deeply rooted in my own identity, as I was born and raised as a Bukusu in Pongola village, within the Kabuchai constituency of Bungoma. I observe that cultural knowledge is often overlooked in the modern era, yet I firmly believe in the importance of preserving and practicing our positive traditions well beyond the twenty first century. We cannot afford to dismiss the profound value of our heritage. This personal conviction inspired the creation of this work. Furthermore, my own birth as a twin provided a unique motivation to investigate and include a section on the cultural significance of twinship. My curiosity about our community's migration from Eastern Uganda to the areas surrounding Mount Elgon was another driving force behind this project. The findings presented here are supported by theses and research from various universities. This work is a preliminary exploration, and ...

|Photo Courtesy| Africa is one of the most promising places in the world for investment today. The continent is full of opportunities for those willing to look beyond old narratives. From natural resources to fast growing cities and a youthful population, Africa is moving forward in a way that attracts serious business attention. Investors from across the globe are now focusing on Africa not as a charity case but as a place where business can grow and succeed. Africa has the youngest population in the world. More than sixty percent of Africans are under the age of twenty five. This means the continent has a growing labor force and a rising number of consumers. In countries like Nigeria, Ethiopia and Kenya young people are driving demand for tech, fashion, food and education. Businesses that serve this group will have a steady market for many years to come. The continent is also urbanising faster than any other region. Cities like Nairobi, Lagos, Kigali, Accra and Johannesburg are expan...

Trump, Immigration and the Question of Africa's Place in the World

Image
By Micah Mukhwana Namunyu  |Photo Courtesy of American Civil Liberties Union| When Donald Trump speaks about immigrants, the world listens. He has been harsh on foreign students and on those who move illegally to America. Africans have been at the centre of this debate. Many see his stance as discriminatory and hostile. But if we go deeper into the legal and political issues, there is another side to it. Immigration law and sovereignty Every country has the right under international law to control who enters its borders. America, like any other state, sets the rules for visas, studies, work and citizenship. Trump uses that legal space to limit immigration, especially from Africa and other regions he calls problematic. His critics view it as racism. But in strict law, he is exercising sovereign power. The tension arises when sovereignty collides with human rights. International law protects the right to seek asylum, the right to education and the right to family life. If a policy is...
