Let one and all arise,
With hearts both strong and true,
Service be our earnest endeavour,
And our homeland of Kenya,
Heritage of splendour,
Firm may we stand to defend.
Didmus take on uda Wrangles
Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa recently ridiculed Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in a series of remarks that highlight growing tensions within the United Democratic Alliance (UDA). Speaking at a public event, Barasa criticized Gachagua's leadership and influence, suggesting that he is creating unnecessary friction within the party and the broader Kenya Kwanza coalition [โ] [โ].Barasa's comments come amid internal disputes and power struggles within UDA. There are reports of factions forming, with some members of the party feeling sidelined by Gachaguaโs assertive approach and his attempts to consolidate power, especially in his home region of Mount Kenya [โ]. This criticism adds to a series of challenges facing Gachagua, who has been striving to position himself as a key leader and kingpin of the Mount Kenya region [โ].These remarks are part of a broader pattern of discord within the party, as other leaders have also voiced concerns about Gachagua's influence and leadership style. This internal strife threatens to destabilize the ruling party if not addressed [โ].

Raila Odinga's stance on the revenue-sharing formula for Kenyan counties emphasizes the need for a fair and equitable distribution that aligns with the principles laid out by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). Odinga has consistently supported the CRA's recommendations, which focus on population-based allocations to ensure that counties can adequately meet their service delivery needs in areas such as health, agriculture, and infrastructure [โ] [โ].Odinga has argued that while population size should be a key factor in determining revenue distribution, it is also crucial to address corruption and inefficiencies at both the national and county levels to maximize the effectiveness of the funds allocated [โ]. He believes that adopting the CRA's formula without amendments would provide a stable basis for revenue sharing over the next five years, allowing counties to plan and manage their resources more effectively.He also highlighted the need for counties to improve their internal revenue generation and prudent resource usage, which would complement the national allocations and reduce reliance on them [โ]. Odingaโs approach aims to balance the differing interests across Kenya's diverse regions, promoting a "win-win" solution that avoids exacerbating existing regional disparities [โ].

Embracing the Beauty of a Luo Morning During Funeral RitesIn the Luo culture of Kenya, mornings hold a profound significance, particularly during the solemnity of funeral rites. The serene beauty of a Luo morning provides a poignant backdrop for the rituals and traditions that honor the departed, encapsulating both the sorrow and the celebration of a life lived.As dawn breaks, the first light gently filters through the acacia trees, casting a soft, golden hue over the homestead. This tranquil setting offers a moment of reflection and peace amidst the grief, allowing mourners to connect deeply with their emotions and the legacy of their loved one. The air is crisp and filled with the melodic songs of birds, which serve as a natural requiem, echoing the reverence and solemnity of the occasion.Traditionally, the Luo people gather early in the morning to begin the funeral ceremonies. The community comes together in a display of unity and support, embodying the principle of "omwana ni weyogo"โa child is everyoneโs. This sense of collective mourning is beautifully mirrored by the morning light, which touches each face with a shared warmth and comfort.Elders lead the proceedings with prayers and blessings, invoking the spirits of ancestors to guide the departed on their journey. The rhythmic chanting and singing create a harmonious symphony that blends seamlessly with the natural ambiance, elevating the spiritual atmosphere. This confluence of human and natural elements underscores the Luo belief in the interconnectedness of all life and the continuity of the soul.As the day progresses, the initial quiet of the morning evolves into a more dynamic scene, but the essence of that first light remains. It is a reminder of the cycle of life and death, and the enduring beauty found even in moments of deepest sorrow. The Luo morning during funeral rites thus becomes a powerful symbol of hope, resilience, and the everlasting bond between the living and the departed.
The beauty of knowing your identity is when you do the right thing at the right time.
