Eugene Ludovic Wamalwa PARTY: Party of National Unity Eugene Ludovic Wamalwa was born on 1st April, 1969. Wamalwa was elected to represent Saboti constituency in the National Assembly of Kenya since the Kenyan parliamentary election, 2007. The death of his brother and vice president Michael Wamalwa Kijana in 2003 vacated the Saboti MP seat.

In the following by-elections, Eugene Wamalwa vied for the seat under little known Republican Party of Kenya (RPK).

The by-election was won by Davies Wafula Nakitare of NARC. He again contested the Saboti parliamentary seat on a Ford Kenya ticket under the PNU umbrella in 2007 and won. He has now shown interest as a candidate in the 2013 presidential elections. In 26 March 2012, President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga reshuffled the Cabinet appointing Eugene Wamalwa to be the Minister of Justice, National Cohesion & ConstitutionalAffairs.

Since he had no particular place to run to he joined the street children. Fortunately he was rescued from the streets by Hare Krishna and was later offered a chance to pursue his secondary education at City Hall High School. After finishing his O’ levels, he joined St. Peter’s Mumia’s Boys High school where he sat for his A’ levels. George later joined the police as a recruit constable after completing school and steadily rose up the ladder to Inspectorate rank within a short time. However, things changed for him When Kenya’s foreign minister, Robert Ouko, was assassinated in 1990.

Wajackoyah was placed in charge of collecting intelligence on suspected killers. George’s inquisitiveness led to his arrest, subsequent detention and severe torture. Fortunately, Wajackoyah received political asylum in the United Kingdom, where he put himself through law school by working as a gravedigger by day and a security guard by night.

He is currently an adjunct professor of law at the American Heritage University of Southern California. George has expressed his intentions to run for the top seat at the 2013 presidential elections in Kenya. He believes that his vast exposure, experience, education and networks will give him an added advantage to his quest for the presidency.

What does oil mean for Kenya?

As Kenya celebrates its first oil discovery, questions are being asked on what this will mean for Kenya as a nation.

Richard Leakey, an outspoken conservationist, fossil expert and a former Kenyan politician while speaking to DW urged Kenyans to put pressure on the government to avoid the mistakes made in other oil-rich African nations.

He stated that, “given Kenya’s economic situation, the discovery of oil has enormous potential to help but it has significant potential to hinder. I think we’ve got to be very cautious and very mature about how to proceed”.

Dr. Leakey argued that to prevent civil war and problems in the area, the powers that be should recognise that people have a right to some development funds from this oil. The government and drilling companies should consider the environmental impact by considering issues such as possible oil spills from broken pipes. “I have seen nothing that has persuaded me at the moment that the government has adequate contingency plans. Civil societies, NGOs, public opinion have really got to put the pressure on the Kenyan government to pull together some policies that have been tested elsewhere and give us a better chance to avoid the terrible mistakes that have been made elsewhere”.

While speaking at Strathmore University in Nairobi, Prof Collier stressed that if Kenya wanted to avoid the mistakes made by Nigeria after it discovered oil in the 1970s, the country needed to take a series of steps to protect income for future generations. He cited three key areas where action was needed: The government should put rules in place to ensure sound economic decision making, establish dedicated institutions to reinforce the rules, and create a critical mass of citizens who understand those rules. people demanding pay rises. This had been the case in Nigeria, He said senior figures in Kenya had already voiced their warned Prof Collier, where they had partied for a decade on oil concerns about public reaction to the oil find, with many money and were still clearing up the mess.

It used to be carried out on girls aged between 12 and 14 years. It was a cultural practice that was accepted by everyone else except the missionaries.

It was expected for a girl to undergo the cut when she reached the correct age. It used to be carried out in the month of August. I guess the reason for it being done in august was to ensure that the girls were ready by xmas time so that they could have a good time.

girl did not have any pant on. She sat with her legs wide open and bent at the knees. The mutiri who sat behind the girl interlocked the girl’s legs with her own inorder to ensure that they remained open. This sitting arrangement made sure that the genitalia were exposed and easily accessible by the circumcisor.

She also put her arms around the girl’s chest and held the girl’s hands firmly against the chest. This meant that the girl was completely trapped and could not move or escape. The circumcisor would then reassure the girl and the The circumcision was usually done splash cold water over the genitalia early in the morning by the bank of the inorder to numb the area.

It is also a great embarassment to those who conspired to against us to harm our family and the work which the lord has entrusted into our hands. Glory be to God the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit.

After all the girls were circumcised they would be escorted home by their mutiri, friends and relatives. many used to cry and faint on their way home due to pain and bleeding. To stop further bleeding another leaf was placed and pressed at the bleeding site. They used to walk slowly with their leegs together.

Incidently sanitary towels were un heard of in the village, so the women would use what they thought was best to stop bleeding. At home the girls were kept in a room and were not allowed to come out during the day.

Circumcisison is a very painful experience. The girls being circumcised were not given any pain killer or local anaesthesia. Girls were expected to be brave and not cry when they were being circumcised or after. This never was and the girls used to cry alot due to pain. Usually at night and in the morning the girls used to cry and ask for maithirini (vaseline) to lublicate the genitalia inorder to ease the pain. The pain used to be severe after the girl had passed urine. Remember urine is acidic and as it passes out it comes into contact with the site of the wound. This caused the girls alot of pain.

The whole idea and process was pure torture but the culture demanded it, so the women had to undergo it. After being cicumcised the woman was considered to be mature and eligible for marriage. Incidently no man would think of marrying an uncircumcised woman. It was a considered to be a taboo. During the healing period the girls were fed on high protein diet which was composed of black beans.

It’s hard to imagine famous people ever struggling for money. But many of them were not just poor — they were homeless.

We’ve given you some extraordinary rags-to-riches stories in the past, and here are some more incredible stories of people who at some point in their lives had nowhere else to sleep but on the streets. They eventually turned their lives around and became an inspiration to anyone who dreams of a professional career despite starting from nothing. Some best known personalities are: Oscar winner Halle Berry, Actor Jim Carrey, Frank O’Dea, one of the richest Canadians, Suze Orman, Personal finance guru Daniel Craig acts as “James Bond”

Approach to a Healthy Lifestyle Creating and sustaining a healthy lifestyle is not easy, the process almost, always involves setbacks. Knowing about healthy lifestyles is the easiest part, but knowing what a healthy lifestyle is and actually practicing it is the most difficult part for most individuals. The key is for an individual to find a strong motivation to change.

There are common models for behavior change which includes; the stage of change and Health Action Process approach. An individual seeking a healthy life style must try a number of models that actually have good evidence behind them by taking small steps such as drinking one less soda a day, or setting a goal of walking just a mile or two around the neighborhood, or parking a block from work and walking the rest of the way.

Another method of continued effort in sustaining a healthy lifestyle is to seek support and change strategies to avoid boredom. During the process an individual must not hate themselves for doing behaviors that are not what they wanted. Individuals who strive for a healthier life style can provide an inspiration for others. We all should acknowledge that a change in life style can be difficult, but it can be done. Achieving a good healthy life style doesn’t happen overnight.

The journey requires determination, support and patience.

WE SHOULD NOTE THAT HEALTHY LIFESTYLE IS KEY TO LONGIVITY.

our hair is an important part of your appearance and is often used by people when evaluating your overall beauty. A few months ago I made a decision to go natural after a very bad experience with hair chemicals.

I must confess that it has been a tough journey the most difficult part being maintenance and getting suitable hairstyles. So I decided to embark on a research concerning natural black hair and I’m still in the process of learning and discovering new things. Today I will share with you some of the things I have learned. come in a variety of colours from which you can choose from.

Lifestyle

Cornrows

Cornrows are a traditional African style of hair grooming where the hair is braided very close to the scalp, using an underhand, upward motion to produce a continuous, raised row. Cornrows are often formed, as the name implies, in simple, straight lines, but they can also be formed in complicated geometric or curvilinear designs.

Tours & Travel Education

Firstly, I learned that hair has its own natural conditioner known as the sebum; oil composed of waxes and fats and also contains a natural antiseptic that helps fight infections. The sebum is produced by the sebaceous glands present in the dermis. These glands are linked to the hair follicles and release sebum into them. Now to Black hair: this type of hair is almost always curly. Because of the insufficient sebum produced by the sebaceous glands, the hair is less moisturised and therefore it is brittle and has a tendency to split and break. Also, due to the fact that the hair is tightly curled, the sebum is unable to travel downwards to condition it naturally. This means therefore that black hair requires more attention and needs to be treated with much care in order for it to become manageable.

Choosing a style that suits your looks and lifestyle is something that should be taken very seriously and also choosing a proper hairstyle that brings out the best features of your face can make the difference in how beautiful you look. Contrary to the persistent idea that natural hair offers no versatility in styling, i discovered that there are so many hairstyling options to choose from. To start with, you can look through different hairstyles with people who have faces that are shaped similar to yours and see which one would fit you and also the one that you find to be attractive. Another option would be asking your hairdresser for advice on what type of hairstyle you would look best in. He or she can help you develop the best look for you. Here are a few hairstyles to get you started.
