Do you remember Kombo?

By PAUL MASIBO WABWAYI NGOME


Hon. Musikari Nazi Kombo is a veteran Kenyan politician and respected public servant born in 1944 in Bungoma County. A member of the Bukusu sub-tribe of the Luhya community, he pursued his education at Nyang'ori High School and later earned a degree in economics from the University of Nairobi.

Kombo ventured into politics in the early 1980s and served as the Member of Parliament for Webuye Constituency. Over the course of his political career, he held several cabinet positions, including Minister for Regional Development and Minister for Local Government, particularly under President Mwai Kibaki’s administration.
He was a founding member and later chairman of the Forum for the Restoration of Democracy–Kenya (FORD–Kenya), a party that played a pivotal role in Kenya’s transition to multiparty democracy. He was instrumental in the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC), which successfully ended KANU’s decades-long reign in the historic 2002 General Election..
Hon. Kombo was also widely known for his firm political and personal friendship with the late Vice President Michael Kijana Wamalwa. Together, they championed the political interests of the Western region and were key architects in strengthening the voice of the Luhya community on the national stage

Generational shifts

By PAUL MASIBO WABWAYI NGOME
Image
  A generational shift refers to the gradual transformation of attitudes, behaviours and societal norms as one generation succeeds another, often leading to changes in culture, technology adoption and workplace dynamics.    Generational shifts are driven by various factors, including geopolitical events, technological innovations, digital transformation, economic trends and cultural changes. These shifts have a profound impact on the workplace, influencing communication styles, leadership approaches and expectations regarding working conditions, benefits and career development.

Fellow Kenyans, especially our youth, Generation Z

By PAUL MASIBO WABWAYI NGOME
Image
Fellow Kenyans, especially our youth, Generation Z , This is my message today. The story of our nation is long and full of lessons. We cannot truly know who we are unless we learn from those who came before us. Our history did not begin today. It is rooted in the struggles, sacrifices, and dreams of previous generations. As Mzee Jomo Kenyatta wrote in Facing Mount Kenya , culture and leadership have always shaped the destiny of our people. Since the 1980s, political and social strategies have influenced our lives in ways many of us may not fully understand. Today, we see changes in family structures, cultural values, and political engagement. Some of these changes have strengthened us, but others have weakened the foundation that holds society together. When families break down and respect for elders fades, we create gaps that no government can fill. Women’s empowerment is vital. However, let us ensure that it is not misused for political gain. True empowerment means opportunities fo...

Is the mission Impossible Implementing the Ndung’u Report in kenya?

By PAUL MASIBO WABWAYI NGOME
Image
       Land continues to command a pivotal position in Kenya’s social, economic, political and legal relations. Perhaps this explains why, when other resources for political patronage have declined at any time in our political history, the ruling elite have resorted to illegally dishing out public utility land. This phenomenon of illegally and irregularly allocating public land to “politically well-connected persons” gains pace just before and after elections. Over the years, a culture of corruption and impunity flourished and went unpunished amongst those entrusted with power over public utility land. 10 Implementing the Ndung’u Report On 30th June 2003, the NARC government appointed a commission of inquiry to investigate the illegal and irregular allocation of public land in Kenya. The Commission came to be known as the Ndung’u Commission, and its report as the Ndung’u report, after Paul Ndung’u, the Nairobi lawyer who chaired the commission. In its report, relea...

 Uhuru clueless about PS reshuffle list? Who is doing what and where and to whom in the world of politics • Was President Uhuru Kenyatta kept in the dark on how the list of the Principal Secretaries he reshuffled in September? •The troubles of a lawmaker, who is teetering on the edge after his party threatened to unseat him, are far from over. President Uhuru Kenyatta./FILE Was  President  Uhuru Kenyatta  kept in the dark on compilation of the list of Principal Secretaries he reshuffled in September? Corridors overheard two senior government officials at a famous city club, discussing in low tones how two powerful individuals with huge influence on the President’s decisions were the ones who generated the list of the PSs. The PSs were moved to what were seen to be less lucrative posts. Then the two officials asked the head of state to approve the list before the changes were communicated to the public. At the club, the offi...

The Tale of Etalang'i the Lion

By PAUL MASIBO WABWAYI NGOME
Image
   In the wide golden plains of the Sitikho location,milo sublocation near mount Elgon, there lived a lion named  Etalang'i . He was known for his heart of a lion — fearless and noble. But Etalang'i  also had wisdom beyond his years. One season, a great drought fell upon the land. Food was scarce, and every beast fought for the lion’s share of what little remained. Etalang'i , though mighty, knew that even the lion must stoop to drink . He humbled himself and approached the antelope herds, proposing peace until the rains returned. “ The lion and the antelope walk together ,” he said, and so it was. But not everyone agreed. A sly jackal whispered to the others, “ Etalang'i  is growing weak — a lion in a sheep’s skin.” The hyenas laughed and barked at him from a distance. Etalang'i only smiled. “ A lion does not turn around when a small dog barks ,” he murmured, keeping his dignity. One day, a foolish young warthog wandered into Etalang'i  den while he...

I’m Addressing the Issue of Clannism Within the Bukusu Community

By PAUL MASIBO WABWAYI NGOME
Image
The time has come to thoughtfully and openly address the growing concern of clannism within the  Bukusu community , a prominent sub-tribe of the larger  Luhya nation . As one of the most diverse and widespread groups in Western Kenya, the Bukusu people currently comprise over 139 distinct clans. Their traditional and cultural heartland lies in  Bungoma County , which continues to serve as the central hub for the community. However, Bukusus are also significantly present in other counties such as Trans Nzoia ,  Kakamega ,  Busia , and  Vihiga . Moreover, in pursuit of better opportunities and livelihoods, many have migrated to urban centers across the country. While our diversity is strength, it is essential that we reflect on how clannism—when left unchecked—can undermine unity, mutual respect, and collective progress. This conversation is not meant to point fingers, but rather to encourage introspection, dialogue, and ultimately, a stronger, more cohesive ...

AFRICAN PROVERBS

By PAUL MASIBO WABWAYI NGOME

1. The anger of a penis doesn't destroy the vagina. 2. There's no virgin in a maternity ward. 3. A child can play with it's mother's breasts but not with the father's testicles. 4. The man who marries a beautiful woman and the farmer who grows corn by the road side have the same problem. 5. When you see a woman sitting with her legs open, never tell her to close them, because u do not know her source of fresh air. 6. He who says that nothing lasts forever has never tried Hausa perfume. 7. The only woman who knows where her man is every night is a widow. 8.An erected penis has no conscience. 9. If u go to sleep with an itching anus, u are sure to wake up with smelly fingers. 10. The day a mosquito lands on your testicles is the day you will know there is a better way of resolving issues without using violence.

How Idi Amin took Uganda to the brink of war in 1976 after attempts to annex parts of Kenya Territory

By PAUL MASIBO WABWAYI NGOME
Image
        When Uganda’s former leader, Idi Amin, seized power   .Jomo kenyatta  from the then president, Milton Obote in 1971, his act was received with lots of cheers in Kampala but he would later be seen as a monster after he took up a dictatorial style of leadership. He had come to power with good intentions for his people but as time went on he became power-drunk and started abusing people, historians say.He became ruthless and brutal, repressing the Ugandan people and ignoring their human rights, and subsequently ruined the economy when in 1972, he ordered the deportation of over 80,000 Asians living in Uganda Western leaders, including the United States, cut ties with Amin, and this, coupled with the growing resentment he was getting from his country made him believe that waging war against neighbouring Kenya would save his regime .In 1976, the military dictator attempted to redraw the boundaries of Uganda and Kenya saying that he wanted back all ...

SOCIAL AND EQUALITY TO ALL

SOCIAL AND EQUALITY TO ALL
My main agenda is adopting a Gramscian theoretical framework, the five parts of this volume focus on the various ways in which the political is discursively and materially realized in its dialogic co-constructions within the media, the economy, culture and identity, affect, and education. We focus at examining the power instantiations of sociolinguistic and semiotic practices in society from a variety of critical perspectives, this blog focus at how applied political linguists globally is responding to, and challenge, current discourses of issues such as militarism, nationalism, Islamophobia, sexism, racism and the free market, and suggests future directions. No peace, no unity, no coexistence hence all becomes vanity...! It's why the world is oval.
