Do church girls make the best wives?
Their motive to go to Church services was not to worship but to look for a wife. When some men and women feel it is time to get married, they start being active in Church services and activities as a vetting ground to find a spouse. To get that kind of a Godly spouse, some of these people start acting Godly because they know that such Godly people pray for Godly spouses. Slowly, the Godly spouse who fell for the act starts wondering what happened to the one they married. There is a lot of acting going on in the two-hour Church services.

Intrigues that led to the death and rebirth of EAC : The Standard
And with this action, the relations between Kenya and her neighbour Tanzania plummeted into irreparable new levels. Because of membership in the East African Community, Kenya expected little of military aggression from Uganda and Tanzania and invested in other sectors such as education. This paved way for the establishment of East African Airways, East African Railways and Habours, and an agreement on the East African Common Market In fact, Obote was offered exile by Nyerere who ultimately propped him back to power by sending forces to invade Uganda in 1979. Unable to make profits in Tanzania hinterland, EAR & H and KENATCO closed shop in the country, followed by the East African Airways. Twenty years later, EAC is a regional intergovernmental organisation whose members now include Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda.

Moi saw it all, from 1982 coup to broken rungu
In any case, even were the summit to have a quorum, President Moi wouldn’t have been available to hand over. In his usual eccentricity, Gaddafi made the impossible demand that President Moi hand over the OAU chairmanship to him, quorum or not. MOBYator recalled during my interview with him: “The unruly mob was dangerously moving in our direction screaming and hurling insults at President Moi in Arabic. President Moi only saw the point when the escort commander came and said the maize plantation wasn’t safe enough, and that the President be evacuated to the bush far north along the Nakuru/Eldama-Ravine Road. For President Moi, appearing in public without the rungu was the equivalent of walking naked.

Alarm bells as grabbers retain illegal land titles
“We have revoked so many titles in this country but the law says that when we do that, we direct the chief land registrar to expunge the titles from the central registry. We have done that but he has not been removing the revoked titles as directed,” NLC vice-chairperson Abigael Mbagaya told the Sunday Nation. According to Ms Mbagaya, the Attorney-General had given an advisory opinion on the matter and stated that the chief land registrar must revoke the titles NLC has gazetted for revocation. Land Cabinet Secretary Farida Karoney and Principal Secretary Dr Nicholas Muraguri did not immediately respond to our enquiries. President Kenyatta’s predecessor, President Mwai Kibaki, had done the heavy lifting for him, by setting up the Ndung’u Commission of Inquiry into illegal and irregular acquisition of public land assets.

Nauert ends bid to be next US ambassador to UN
The announcement came after weeks of often mocking criticism over President Donald Trump's nomination of Nauert, who had no foreign policy experience until two years ago when she was named State Department spokeswoman. Trump, an avid viewer of conservative-leaning Fox News where Nauert was once an anchor on morning show "Fox and Friends," told reporters in December that he wanted her as UN ambassador. State Department deputy spokesman Robert Palladino said that Trump would put forward a new name "soon." In an administration that regularly denounces the media, Nauert enjoyed comparatively smooth relations with reporters as State Department spokeswoman, a position that does not require Senate confirmation. Nauert, whose family remained in New York during her tenure, did not return a message asking to confirm that she would leave as State Department spokeswoman.
