Wednesday, 12 June 2013. THE RIVER NILE: AFRICA'S NEXT CONFLICT? Ethiopia, on the other hand, is the source of up to 85% of the river Nile. Yet it has largely been restricted on how much water it can use for its own economic development by treaties it either signed under duress, or it had no party to, such as the Nile waters agreement of 1929, and the 1959 Nile waters agreement between Egypt and Sudan. The flow of River Nile, image source wikipedia. Ethiopia also has a hydro project on river Omo, that wi...

shoots of revolution: MY VIEW ON AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IN KENYA'S POLITICS
http://kimjobil.blogspot.com/2011/08/recently-there-has-been-lively-debate.html
Thursday, 25 August 2011. MY VIEW ON AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IN KENYA'S POLITICS. The general consensus, in my view, is that this numbers cannot be achieved unless some formula is devised to restrict some posts for women. Hence the cabinet last week decided to scrap away this principle by amending the constitution. This raised a lot of anger from quarters of the women’s rights movement, which said it had not been consulted in this decision yet it was their lot that was to be directly affected. But this idea h...

The Jubilee Government will be clocking 100 days in office on July 19. 2013, and as has become the norm in Kenya, many analysts and observers are looking back at the period to gauge early successes and failures. According to William Hasser. Many Kenyans feel shortchanged. The ethnic composition of the cabinet looks skewed towards rift valley and central regions.

Friday, 16 August 2013. Will A Parliamentary System Make Kenya A More United Country? Power Sharing Might Be a Better Solution. The recent calls for a referendum to change the Kenyan constitution and implement a parliamentary system of governance, rather than a presidential one, may remain just that, talk. However, that should not take away from the fact that many Kenyans, I included, are unhappy that despite a new constitution, we remain as divided along tribal lines as ever before. Secondly, it put eth...

http://kimjobil.blogspot.com/2012/11/political-federation-of-east-africa-to.html
Thursday, 29 November 2012. POLITICAL FEDERATION OF EAST AFRICA: TO REALISTIC TO WORK? A federation, according to wordweb, is the act of constituting a political unity out of a number of separate states or colonies or provinces so that each member retains the management of its internal affairs. The ultimate aim of the east African community is to become a political federation by 2013. Of course this will not happen by that time, but let us avoid that line of debate for now. It will strike a blow for pan-...

Monday, 9 September 2013. We Could Surely Do With a Little Guided Thought on Matters ICC. Below is a superb guest blog on the effort by the Kenyan National Assembly to withdraw Kenya from the Rome Statute and the ICC by Celestine Olilo. You can find Celestine on twitter here @cellie beckie. My beloved country is making yet another attempt. To withdraw from the International Criminal Court. Indeed, it is a country’s shame to have a sitting president being tried for heinous crimes at an international...

shoots of revolution: February 2013
http://kimjobil.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Friday, 1 February 2013. Seven things i learnt from political party nominations. 1 Balkanization in Kenya continues unabated. The zoning of particular counties and regions has shown that Kenya is fast becoming a balkanized country. URP, ODM, wiper and TNA each had their own regions where winning the nominations was enough. This proves that national unity is fast becoming a pipe dream. In an era of weak, personalized political parties, party defections are a good thing. The wins of Sonko and Waititu have ...
