For a writer to be effective, they must be clear and focused. This is even more important on the web.
For a long time now I have been grappling with the problem of how best to present Kenyan news and features on this blog, with the objectives I had from the beginning still very clear on my mind.
I am happy to report today that this matter has been settled. To me it is now as clear as day and summarized in the following simple statement.
To face the future successfully, it is extremely important to understand the past first.
In Kenya our history has never been told truthfully, or rather it has often been carefully crafted and censored to avoid the wrath of the powers that be.
Now what happens when the “censored” part is the actual story? The answer is what we have in our country today, near chaos and hopelessness.
Kenyans everywhere do not accept to be cheated ever again, by those who know more than you or understand more. Let us face the truth and only then will we be able to begin to face the ghosts of the past that keep on bogging us down.
In the next few days, we will focus on two political assassinations in Kenya that still impact the country today. And in the days after that, all stories on this site will be carried in the backdrop of those assassinations. You will be amazed at how clear everything suddenly becomes. Stay with me.
