Peter Munya: The Man with the beautiful Wife.





1.      Munya is the father.
He was born Peter Gatirau. The son of Mr. Jackson Munya M'Rukunga and Mrs. Grace Mwakithi; raised in Muthaara, Meru County.



2.      Alumni of Chogoria Boys and Meru School.
He sat for and passed his ‘O’ Levels at Chogoria Boys High School, and proceeded to Meru School for his ‘A’ levels. At Meru School, Hon. Peter Munya was the Chairman of the Debating Club and a winner of the Provincial Public Speaking Competition. Which is a great achievement considering his strong Meru accent.


3.      A champion of the youth.
He founded and chaired Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association with the aim of championing in Parliament, issues affecting Kenyan youth.


4.      Advocate for women empowerment.
Hon. Peter Munya founded the Tigania Women SACCO with the main objective of empowering women economically by enabling them access affordable credit and mobilizes savings. The SACCO has enabled women to venture into small-scale businesses and other income generating activities.


5.      Disgusted by Miraa.
 He first chewed Miraa (Khat) in 1989 while preparing for his A-level exams in Meru School when a friend told him it would help with mental retention. The result was however disastrous as he got too intoxicated after chewing overnight while revising and was unable to remember anything during the next day’s exam.


6.      Almost started a war.
Mr. Munya had travelled to Hargeisa, the capital of Somalia's breakaway region of Somaliland to lobby for easier trade rules for Miraa exporters in Kenya in exchange for some form of recognition for Somaliland. The Somali government imposed a ban on Miraa imports from Kenya because Meru Governor Peter Munya had "used the business to campaign for the breakup of the country."


7.      Very Sexy Wife.
Peter Gatirau might not be the best looking guy but he has a charm for good looking women. Munya is married to Phoebe Munya and they have two children Karauni and Nkio.

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...

Embracing the challenges of living with dyslexia

Munene Mutwiri was five years old when he first started school. And like any other child, he had to read the alphabet, form words and sentences and count basic numbers. However, his case was different. He had a lot of mispronunciations, performed poorly in Mathematics, and read some words backwards. Once, in a Literature class, he read ‘flashback’ as ‘back flash,’ to the amusement of his classmates. Most of the time, he would see the second name before the first, and mathematical formulae appeared as diagrams since numbers did not make a lot of sense to him, a problem he still encounters to date. As a child, he preferred and loved when his teachers narrated stories rather than have him read them. Now in his mid-20s, he still prefers listening to audiobooks to reading a text novel. At home, his family took him to numerous eye clinics thinking he had an eye problem but deep inside, he knew his eyes were okay, and his reading problems had something to do wit...
