By Hyline Ocharo There was a time when a child’s world of stories lived between the covers of a well-thumbed book—pages turned under dim light, tales, while some had the luxury of hearing them from their grandparents. Today, that world is shifting, gently but decisively, onto glowing screens. At the heart of this transition is […]

By Shem Onderi After a night of rainfallthe count of losses was heavy—many, almost beyond measure.Debris of fallen stalls lay scattered,and houses bore the bruntof the raging waters.

By Shem Onderi In the village, mucus falls freely.Sneezes scatter into open air.Noses are blown without care,spittle slick on the paths—passersby slipping on what should never be shared. The sidewalks lie stained and dull.Cough is here. The local health facility groans,its benches swollen with bodies and breath.Yet cough cannot be the fate of a people,cannot […]

By Shem Onderi He sleeps with the law,Wakes with arguments already drawn—Citations sharpened for the court.Even his walk to workIs measured in legal steps.

Some see the time in the booth as too short,Too fleeting to make the right decision.The booth stands small, silent, alone—A place for the voter to be alone. Voices in the […]

Or maybe it is the duty of city managersto remind us—time is passing,whether we notice or not. Whose time do you keep, anyway?Who profits as your hands circle […]

By Nyang’au Araka If you ever attended a political rally when Kiraitu Murungi was at his energetic peak, you’d remember his booming laugh. His was an uproarious, contagious sound that could slice through any tension and leave crowds clutching their sides. The former Meru Governor’s cracking jokes about life, leadership, and the absurdities of politics […]

The nation is broken, disjointed on many fronts,With loose joints everywhere, some beyond repair.Before the fixers were identified,The nation pleaded for repair with the right spanners.And the right fixers. The task begins with knowing where to fix.Who broke it remains unknown;When it broke is undocumented—but the fixers have been found.Clockwise, the lady carries enough quotesTo […]
