The Tanzanian government has announced a new electric power-rationing schedule where power will be switched off from 7 am to 10 pm Daily. The new timetable is effective Monday November 20th 2006.
The country has already been on power rationing for over a year now.
This breaks all records as far as power rationing goes in East and Central Africa and probably beyond. From the statements issued by government leaders so far, it is clear that President Jakaya Kikwete’s government has yet to fully appreciate the full impact of the rationing schedule on the economy. Government estimates still predict an economic growth rate for the year higher than 5 per cent. This I am eagerly waiting to see. If it happens, It will be clear to me that I will urgently need to go back to school to re-learn my limited economics.

This Is Better Than Kenya Yellow Pages For Christmas Shopping, Kumekucha Claims
A Handful of Businesses Find A Secret To Sell Like Crazy This Christmas Season
Attention Blog Owners: Here's An Easy Way To Get A Lot More Traffic To Your Blog And It's Free
It is awfully difficult to find stuff from Kenya online, even when you use the famous yellow pages. I am not too sure why, but I suspect that part of the reason is that many businesses are yet to realize the rapidly rising power of the web as a marketing and advertising tool.
It becomes even more frustrating as the Christmas holidays are fast approaching and Kenyans all over the world find the need for some sort of Christmas shopping guide to help them get gifts for fellow Kenyans. In this case what is required is even more than yellow pages covering Kenya. One actually needs plenty of information on numerous shops, retail outlets and small businesses, spread out all over the country.
These are just some of the reasons why the recently re-launched Kumekucha Hot Ads are doing so well and creating some serious buzz amongst many, especially the businesses now beginning to witness for themselves, first hand the power of advertising online as they get genuine leads and even brisk sales from these tiny Kumekucha advertisements.
But what's even more amazing is the system being used here. Definitely more pocket-friendly than any Kenya yellow pages. The ads are free for simple wording and one mobile telephone number or a single link to a web site. I have chosen the mobile telephone number because it is the most convenient way for many to get in touch with a business these days, especially if the number is a Safaricom one. Web sites, for those who have good ones are actually even better. It is only when a business requires more information in their ad that there is a small fee of only $30 or Kshs 2,000 that is charged. What's more is that the ads are permanent and will continue getting a response for you for a long time to come. Kenya yellow pages are usually very effective when they last one year, Kumekucha ads in this very popular site for Kenyans in Kenya and those based all over the world, lasts forever.
How To Make Money This Christmas Season
Kenyans and those interested in Kenyans as a market have a very unique opportunity here to make a killing this Christmas season, by simply placing ads for free here in the high traffic Kumekucha site. Even if you are no entrepreneur, you can sit down and think of a special project that you can launch to make some little pocket money this Christmas. It could be as simple as selling some stuff that you don't need. You can even place a barter advertisement and exchange something you no longer use for something else of great value. Just sit down and think of something.
Small businesses owners and entrepreneurs hardly need to do any thinking about this. They can immediately send in their ads via email (to email address: umissedthis at yahoo dot com) to get their free advertisement posted immediately. Just include one Safaricom telephone number or your website where people can go to for more information. I can guarantee you that you will quickly find that this turns out to be better than any Kenya yellow pages ad that you may already have.
Web site owners and bloggers looking for more traffic, especially from Kenyans, are also most welcome to make use of the free Kumekucha Hot Ads that are better than even yellow pages.

Kenyans Say "No" To Leadership By The Youth And Women
It is amazing how Kenyans are so good at blaming everybody else apart from themselves. To use a worn-out, tired, over-used cliché, Kenyans are actually their own worst enemies.
A TV poll carried out last night by the KTN Newsline show produced some startling results to the question; Can the Youth and Women Lead? Only 36 per cent said "yes" and a huge 64 per cent said "no".
Today I want to say something very controversial that is however true. Kenyans in their twisted minds can never get women out of their minds as "sexual objects" and they cannot bear to think of them as leaders because of this. Some Kenyan men will say all sorts of nice things, but in their minds, the truth is that they will always look down on women. In a way this same twisted thinking is evident in what most believe is the most advanced democracy in the world – America as is evidenced by the fact that to date, the White House is yet to have a woman-occupant. And even in Britain where Margaret Thatcher was a very successful woman prime minister for well over a decade, the voting system is such that the leader of the winning party ascends to power and there is no direct vote for the Prime Minister. If there was a direct vote, the world would have missed out on Thatcherism and the wonderful impact of Thatcherconomics on the British economy.
Yet there is plenty of evidence to show that women in fact make better leaders than men. In fact it is my belief that for Kenya to make the critical changes that she badly needs just now, it is important that the next August house has as many women MPs as possible.
========================
Matters have of course not been made any easier by the many sex scandals and rumours that have dogged parliament for years, which have been damaging to the image of women as leaders. Read Kumekucha Confidential's intimate examination of 3 recent sex scandals in parliament (two of them have never been publicized) involving 3 respected women leaders namely, Martha Karua, Njoki Ndungu, and Charity Ngilu.

Why is it that Raila seems to know all this top-secret government meetings and goings on? Remember the Artur brother's saga? (Incidentally Raila says that they are back in the country). Does Raila have a mole in the highest echelons of government and if so, who is it?
The answer to these questions is shocking and too sensitive even for this blog. So I have answered it in great detail via email to my subscribers.
