  "Am not your boyfriend" is gender violence remark lt was a shock and disbelief when Adam Duale MP for Garissa​ made a controversial remark in Parliament.This happened when the lawmakers were having a discussion on insecurity that is being witnessed in the vast Northern Kenya.Mr Duale took issue with Kisumu County Woman Representative Rozaah Buyu who was shouting at him when he was making his contribution.And Mr Duale told her "Am not your boyfriend".The chairperson who was chairing the session demanded that.Mr Duale takes back his statement and apologize.The former Majority Leader however remained defiant, stating that he had no need of a girlfriend.These utterances are demeaning ,and are out to embarrass the women representative involved,but also women in particular.How is a​ boyfriend remark involved in a parliamentary proceeding?

  Traders in kitale town have little space to do business It was a shock when Kenya Railways reclaimed land which had been not in use in Kitale town.The traders had built business places such as shops,booking offices, hotels,washrooms etc.The corporation said​ that the businesses, m ost of which had been constructed as permanent structures and valued at millions of shillings, encroached on land​ it owns.​ Some residents were caught unawares with some threatened retaliation on the de molishion.Some residents were teargased when they held demonstrations against the move by KRC. It is not clear whether they were given sufficient notice to vacate the land as some were seen trying to salvage their properties from the rubble. After many years it was impossible to identify that the land belonged to the Kenya railway.All these structures were demolished to pave way for the railway land and fenced it.Some victims claimed that the notice issued was short arguing that they had leased the land​ fo

  Let the D+ student be re-admitted and train as nursery teachers It was disheartening to see students already admitted in colleges and had stayed in those colleges for 3 months, discontinued because of government policy.Arid and semi-arid Counties have a problem in teacher staffing and any teacher posted there,wants to go back to his/her County after a few months.Also because of lack of teachers not many students get C+  and above to allow them to the universities and teacher training colleges or ECDE.So it is prudent and thoughtful to return those students and lower the qualifications so that we can fill the teacher gap of ASAL areas.Also some students go to college to train and open their own schools and not necessarily for employment.The decision to discontinue these students  was done without people's or stakeholders participation.A Country like Kenya which lack ECDE teachers cannot afford to do such embarrassing act as and also the students  would have been the first lot to b
