Kalonzo Musyoka apologises for gross remark

By


Cord co-principal Kalonzo Musyoka was a man under siege Thursday. This came following reports he had made insulting remarks against a journalist at a media briefing. Kalonzo was forced to clarify his remarks in which he told the journalist that a question he had asked suggested political leanings based on his ethnic background. “Indeed, it was with a light touch but I wish to apologize to him, the entire journalistic fraternity and anybody else who might feel the comments were offensive,” Kalonzo said, adding “I did have tea with Murithi and duly apologized for any hurt my remark would have caused.” But the Nation Media Group journalist Kennedy Murithi posted on Twitter that “nobody has apologized to me...I have NOT had tea with him, contrary to what his statement says.” 

In his clarification, Kalonzo said his response had been prompted by failure by the journalist to identify himself and the media house he works for. To Kalonzo Musyoka, everything “I felt he had asked a misleading question and my answer to him was that his assumed political leaning was evident and reflective of the very polarized society that Kenya has become. Kalonzo said that his statement had been taken out of context.

Tips for a Happy Marriage

By
Marriage Boundaries You probably got married as friends, but then found yourselves running into difficulty because you each had your own way of living and doing. You came from one family, and your partner came from another family, and those families were different.

You will enjoy working together as you know each other better and gain confidence in each other’s decision-making ability. Developing faith and trust takes many months. Forging a new way of life from your different backgrounds takes time and patience. Remember, you are equa...

Can Nightmares Cause Death? Spirit Possession? Mental Illness?

By
A lot of the research on nightmares suggests these events test the strength of one’s mind. If the mind is not strong, nightmares can take hold with greater force and the torment can extend beyond one’s dreams. Dr. Patrick McNamara of the Boston University School of Medicine looks at nightmares in a modern clinical context that also takes into account the history of dream phenomena in many cultures. He connects nightmares with a world of malevolent spirits. Spirit Possession Some people who experience frequent nightmares, both today and throughout history, also show signs in waking life of mental illness and even what may be seen as spirit possession. Dr. McNamara seems unabashed in speaking about spirit possession. “Nightmares very often involve supernatural characters that attack or target the dreamer in some way. I mean monsters, creatures, demons, spirits, unusual animals, and the like,” Dr. McNamara said in an interview with Boston University’s alumni publicat...
