    i read in todays dailies that Kisumu is on the brink of famine disaster and all
    that these morons can think of is reading some trashy books?

    So, according to your logic Jane, people should not read about the background on how Kenya got to the mess it is in? Maybe your ostrich-stuck-in-the-sand attitude is what has enabled Kenya to be where it is.

    KP.

    I dont think the issue is whether Kenya is corrupt or not but what needs to be done to reduce or eradicate corruption. This books are meant to enrich their authors and push agendas. This book will also be used to entrench ethnicity under the guise of fighting corruption.

    I dont object to them reading the book by all means go ahead it’s your right but try to get something positive to come out of it. If people go there to reinforce stereotypes then it will have become another divisive issue for Kenyans.

    Hi Jane, I’d like to know what you are doing to address famine in Kisumu and other major problems facing Kenya?

    Indeed in these incredibly difficult times one finds incredibly dubious, the purpose of off handed and cynical comments that the likes of Jane makes. They are not productive,assistive and only serve to discourage what little good there is t in intiatives that the book reading provides.

    Jane, Jellyfish, has either one of you read the book?

    Jellyfish, most books take an enormous amount of time and effort to write. Few authors actually get rich, and surely it’s not a problem if an author earns money with his/her book. Or do you work for months and years for free? You wouldn’t ask a CEO to do so, you wouldn’t expect a bus driver to do so.

    Last time I checked, attending a book reading is voluntary. Nobody is forcing anyone to abandon nation-saving activities to attend such a reading.

    Hello! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    Movie star and singer Patrick Bruel was among France’s biggest stars over the ’90s,
    first making his or her name like a teen idol and leading an excellent to traditional French chanson inside the new millennium.
    Bruel was given birth to Patrick Benguigui throughout Tlemcen, Algeria, on,
    may 14, 1959. His or her father abandoned a family when Patrick was only a year old,
    including 1962, after Algeria gained its independence, his new mother moved to France, settling within the Paris suburb of
    Argenteuil. A fine soccer player in the youth, Patrick first settled on the idea of becoming a artist having seen Michel Sardou perform in 75.

    As chance may have it, acting would take him his first
    success; first-time representative Alexandre Arcady ran an offer seeking a man having a French-Algerian (or “pied-noir” in German slang) accent for his movie Le Coup
    fuente Sirocco. Benguigui (as he was still called) responded and acquired the business.

    The below year, he spent a little while in New York City,
    where he attained Gérard Presgurvic, later for being his primary
    composer.

    Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. However just imagine if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this blog could certainly be one of the very best in its field. Great blog!
