After months of heated words and worsening actions among our fellow countrymen, H.E President Mwai Kibaki and Opposition Leader Raila Odinga finally helped bury sharpened pangas by agreeing to a power-sharing government. If nothing else, the decision to power share should at the least help Kenya find its way forward toward stability once again, reclaiming its former reputation as an island and beacon of peace in East and Central Africa. At least that’s what most people expect! Notice I said most people, because Dr. Teddy Njoroge (PhD) critically analyzes the recent events in Kenya. As you browse through this site, read on and find out why among numerous other questions he is asking about mainstream media’s interpretation of recent events: “Has Kenya emerged from a possible civil war?” and “Have Kenyans postponed an inevitable civil war for a future involving more fatalities?” You see, it is well within his rights to ask these questions, as the media i.e., CNN, NBC, ABC, have reported that Kenya has gone the way of other African countries…tribal war, civil war! But he also questions the media hype, noting that even the reporters have to pay their bills…right?
Also in this finding our way-forward tone, Kenyans on a real-time ‘live’ show on FM 89.3 in Atlanta have decided to talk it out on air! The idea is to discuss issues affecting Kenya especially the post-election saga, and what Kenyans in the Diaspora can do about it, if anything at all. Our seasoned Layman columnist, John Waireri, also seems to have been bitten by the ‘way-forward’ bug. In Part 2 of his “GPS to Financial Freedom,” he continues to unveil a valuable navigational structure for achieving financial freedom, as opposed to the popular media-proclaimed opinion of, “Spend! S.p.e.n.d! Spend! You deserve it!” If his piece doesn’t leave you spendthrift-free, it will at least leave you asking yourself, “How do I multiply the little $$ dinero $$ that I have?” Moving right along in our way-forward momentum, is a piece on another true son of Kenya—a real cause for hope and national pride, and a model of encouragement for other children of African immigrants, who is embraced by Kenyans across the board—Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama. We take a look at what seems to be the one of the tightest pre-election races of all time in America. KEN wishes you all the best Sen. Obama! And speaking of races, in a rare but welcome mix of poetry slam and rock music, 10 of the hottest poets you’ve ever heard from around the United States, recently battled it out in Atlanta! Read on and find out who walked away $1,000 richer after this electrifying entertainment and word boxing event. No doubts—just the facts—and some astute questions and Kenyan opinions from … your KEN team! Have a great month! KEN Editor in Chief!
