ONLY IN KENYA 


Within Africa, Kenyans enjoy a reputation as hard workers and at 7 o’clock the streets are crowded. However, Kenyans take it easy and have a casual approach to time. The phrase “Hakuna Matata” (which you may know from the Disney movie, The Lion King), meaning “don’t worry and enjoy life” is actually Swahili, which is the official language of Kenya You’ll hear that a lot, in Kenya.


jambo! jambo! habari gani?
Making appointments days in advance, as in North America or Europe, is often useless in Kenya culture. Better call an hour before you want to see somebody, and ask whether he is around (if he is, he will drop his work). Of course, the more important an official is, the longer you’ll have to wait outside his office, even if he is inside doing nothing. If somebody is 30 or 60 minutes late for an appointment, he is considered to be perfectly in time in Kenya. The first days, you will be annoyed, but pretty soon you’ll come to like to slowness of life and go along with it.
Kenyans like to laugh and quickly offer a smile to people. The British influence is still visible in their politeness, and also in the outer appearance of streets and buildings, signs etc. which look a bit like Britain in the 1960s... A Kenyan will take the time for you if you ask him something. If there is just anything unusual, a crowd will assemble within a minute around you and everybody will offer his opinion on what’s going on. Even foreigners are quickly invited to participate in whatever going on.
Kenyans often use proverbs and sayings to comment on things. They are typically comparisons drawn from everyday life, and show some very down to earth, good humored wisdom. Kenya the land of my papa and mama.

love you Kenya

HELB SHOCKER TO THE STUDENTS

Mr. Charles Ringera the Chief Executive Officer has issued a rather controversial order that no graduate will enter the job market without producing the clearance certificate from helb. The policy which is in the making and can be implemented very soon will affect many students in Moi University since majority of students relies on helb for education support. Any graduate who wants to be employs will be recurred to produce a clearance certificate from helb or have a part with K sh 1000 in order to get the certificate to either prove that the graduate is servicing the loan or has cleared it before being allowed to start a job. This rule will apply to both helb beneficiary and non-beneficiaries. The news is not likely to be received by students. How can one be expected to pay the loan without getting the job first? Is helb a help or a hell?

CAMPUS PEER PRESSURE.

Peer pressure is a venom that kills the morality of many campus students. The most surprising fact is that no matter how bad the morality health is deteriorating, no one seems to care enough to get antidotes but continue to pump in more and more killer venom into their veins and their blood becomes full of it. In basic physics, when you stretch a spiral ring past the limit point it loses its function.  It’s funny on how many guys in campus will enjoy their lives to the fullest without having to boast of how many girls they had themselves involved with sexually or how many bashes and shisha parties they are going to attend and smoke? If so did you see them die? And how many girls do you know of that leave campus while still virgins?  As much as what I have talked about might not be much, consider chances of heavy drinking, dating lecturers and smuggling drugs. One should think of where they come from and where they are heading to. Some campus guys end up using even their school fe
