Why do people end up killing themselves? That is a question that many Kenyans at Maseno University are pondering over after the discovery of the body of a female lecturer yesterday together with an elaborate suicide note she had left behind citing marriage problems.
Mrs Pamela Jaoko K’Ouko, 50, (pictured above) a senior lecturer in Zoology at Maseno University, had been missing for a week before her decomposed body was found yesterday floating in a river.
Interesentingly her husband, Dr Evan K’Ouko, a radiologist and a former lecturer at Maseno, however, denied the couple had any domestic problems, and even added that they had breakfast together on the last morning he saw his wife alive.
A few years back an interesting study was done in Japan where incidentally about thirty thousand people commit suicide every year (one person every 17 minutes).
The study involved a very sickly chimpanzee called Leo who was still somewhat cheerful and grateful for the small pleasures he got out of life even in his sorry state. The conclusion was that because Leo did not have the sense of envy, grudge, or misery, he was not depressed or despaired thinking about his past or future. He was not envious, resentful, or jealous on others who had complete freedom of their bodies. He did not fill his imagination with negative thoughts.
Human imagination, being the cause of despair, is also the producer of hope. Human beings should realize that the difference between hope and despair is only in their brains.
The Maseno case no doubt has more to it than meets the eye because others have contradicted the claim by the husband of the deceased that all was well in their marriage.

BRIDEGROOM: Dalmas Otieno married his third wife in July this year in a
low key traditional marriage ceremony. The 30 year old lass who is the
latest Mrs Dalmas is Dorothy Atieno Okello (pictured here). Dalmas holds
views on the ICC cases that contradict the official position of his
party. What is going on?The CORD coalition is NOT speaking with
one voice about the ICC cases. There is no doubt now that there are a
sizeable number of prominent politcians who are with JUBILEE on many
issues and in the process are contradicting their own party's official
position.
Dalmas Otieno a very close aide of former Prime
Minister Raila Odinga over the weekend during a function in Migori
attended by Deputy President William Ruto called for an end to the
Kenyan cases at the ICC. So did Migori governor Zachary Obado. Both are
in ODM and the CORD coalition.
What is really going on here?
Apart
from the ICC cases, we know for a fact that Nairobi governor Evans
Kidero is much more cosy with President Uhuru Kenyatta of JUBILEE than
he is with his own party leader Raila Odinga.
But the clincher
are reports coming in from Machakos indicating that the county is very
likely to vote JUBILEE in 2017 courtesy of Governor
Alfred Mutua who has build a huge following in the county and beyond.
The governor of Machakos is another prominent CORD character who is way
too cosy with JUBILEE.
Where does genuine co-operation stop and
betrayal start?
Who is financing South Sudan troubles
It
is obvious who the biggest loser of the ongoing troubles in South Sudan
will be. It is Kenya. Above everything else the country has lost a
major market for its' products and work force at a time when the economy
is headed south. Very hard times ahead for already struggling Kenyans.
In
my latest intelligence reports I reveal and break it down for you.
Analysts are now asking if the country stepped into shoes that were a
wee bit too big for her. How do you declare a country many times more
prosperous than you your
enemy and expect everything to be okay?
