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.

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...

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...
