MAASAI MARA UNIVERSITY: THE HOME OF Bush People.


Hello Bush person.
why ignore my greetings? Don't you believe that you are a bush person? well let me inform you; you are a "bushman". Do not take this personally or in bad faith, for l have a perfect reason why you fit in as a bushman.

Let me start with this simple question. What was your last tweet? or let me start with the obvious. what's your Twitter handle? let me make a learned guess; you do not have a clue what I'm talking about: you might not even know  what is Twitter in the first place???


well before  you shift your focus and run to that infamous Facebook students page and hurl your insults just hear me out. l'm tired by the blame and the insults have seen being directed to  The Students President Mr. Robert Too. You all think that he is to be blamed for all the evils and the bad publicity that you are getting.

well listen to me you bush person. You think you are not to be blamed? You think you are not part of all this negativity? Well get it from me, you are the main reason that Maasai Mara University is considered a " Bush University "hence a soft target by the media.

Facebook is great but their is power in that tweet. Do you have an idea how much Twitter has influenced the world as we know it today?? let me give you a few examples # ArabUpRising #SaveMalala #BlackLivesMatter. These are just but  a few that stand out in a stack of millions of tweets that the world gets to see in a day.

Now closer home, lets take an example of University Of Nairobi. Whom do you think opened the eyes of the media and Kenyans on the police brutality that they were experiencing? Its the tweets and the retweets that have turned the attention to those rogue police officers.

Currently the hashtag #MbithiMustGo is trending on twitter as students express their frustration with their management. Here at Maasai Mara University The home of Bushmen we are doing contrary to what our peers do.

Instead of picking up our phones and tweeting about our dissatisfaction with the report aired on Citizen Tv we are busy blaming and throwing insults at Robert as if we are not part of the problem.

It is true that our ego and reputation has been bruised, but we are the star between the Mau Escarpment and the great Maasai Mara, we are the Pride of South rift, we are the Lion of the Mara.

Twitter can be our vindicator. we can tweet how Citizen Tv are involved in shoddy journalism. we can tweet how much this school is great. We can tweet and let the world know that "Simba Ni Moja".

This is for you busy insulting and blaming Robert. I'm and still remains one of the biggest supporters and admirers of Robert Too. He remains The president, a colleague, a classmate and most of all a friend.

The blame should be on you villagers and bushmen who are too dumb for Twitter.

RAILA ODINGA:The merchant of violence

We owe it to ourselves to examine closely those figures that our political leaders and those that aspire to lead us cosy up with in public and also in private. Just as birds of identical plumage flock in close proximity, a man’s character can also be judged from the company that he keeps. Raila Odinga  is a political schizophrenic. His rhetoric oozes with refined contemporary democracy dogma, but his actions reveal a very violent and dictatorial streak. The exorbitant nature of his obsessive preoccupation with violence is rivalled by a few in modern day Africa. His proclivity for violence can be traced to his student days. As a youth, Raila Odinga, whose father served as deputy president of Kenya under Jomo Kenyatta, was given a scholarship to study in the then East Germany. He studied engineering. However, his choice of his undergraduate thesis is not only revealing but also a source of great perturbation. His thesis focused on bomb-making with special focus on nail bomb...

Closing Of Baite TV. Over time concerns have been raised on the professionalism and the ethics of the media station. Although the station might be popular with the people and can also be classified as a populist media station they seem to have overlooked fundamental media ethics.

Over the last few years Baite TV has grown to be one of the most viewed TV stations in the Larger Meru region spanning all the way to Tharaka Nithi and Embu counties. The TV station has maintained some loyal die-hard fan base despite its unorthodox way of reporting. Over time concerns have been raised on the professionalism and the ethics of the media station. Although the station might be popular with the people and can also be classified as a populist media station they seem to have overlooked fundamental media ethics. In my analysis I find the following misconducts emanating from the media station. Accuracy and fairness It is no secret that the station is owned and run in close supervision by the Meru Women County Rep, Kawira Mwangaza. It is no crime to own and run a media house but it is crime to break the laws and ethics concerning journalism and reporting. In the Code of Conduct for the Practice of Journalism as entrenched in the Second Schedule of the Med...
