Kalonzo Musyoka apologises for gross remark



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.

6 Online Dating Mistakes to Avoid

So, you’d like to meet someone and have decided to go online. That’s a good move — proactive and forward-thinking. But be careful not to be lulled into habits that will undermine your online dating experience. Here are some tips to keep in mind as you peruse the seemingly endless stream of profiles from prospective partners. 1. Don’t go crazy over the pictures. On the Internet, it's easy to feel nitpicky and maintain high expectations. With apps like Tinder, you snap-judge users as if you were scrolling Amazon for the best pair of speakers. This sense of being in the driver’s seat, of choosing, can be appealing. It makes you feel powerful. Fight it. If what you want is a real connection — a relationship with a person you hope to love and who will love you — you will have to bring your most mature and empathetic self to the project. That means not saying, “Eh, she’s cute — but I prefer brunettes to blondes. Next!” You’d never behave this way in person, so do...
