The black 'God'

After his story was aired by a national television in the Republic of Kenya, and having read about him in other online news, a great urge grew in me to go interview this first Kenyan ‘God’ Jehovah Wanyonyi. This curiosity will kill some journalist some day! I thought this festive season is the best time as the ‘God’ might be on holiday of some sort. Our journey started from Narok via Kericho, Nandi Hills, Kipkaren, Mumias and our day ended in Bungoma County- Bungoma Town. We spend our night at Mama Nanjala’s place at St. Veronicah’s village.

Rapture from the eyes of a Pastoralist boy.

I was an active member of 'Village under the tree Kids Bible School'; it happened every afternoon after school, Five days a week of the normal working and school going days.

Ladies in Narok, beware of a serial rapist(s).

The man who lured and repeatedly raped the 13 years old girl on the evening of Thursday 2nd April,was yesterday arraigned in court amidst anger from the public and relatives of the young girl. He was however remanded in custody till the Narok Resident Magistrate is able to establish if the current act on the rights of the accused persons and bail could release him on bond or not. He will appear before the court on 10th April 2015. George Gikamae, is known by many as a serial rapist. He is part time a student at Maasai Mara university and part time a bodaboda operator. He is accused of luring to his house and repeatedly raped a 13 years secondary school girl whose name we can not disclose because she is a minor. Luckily, he was apprehended by neighbours and taken to the Narok Police station where he spent his Easter holiday. What is more worrying is that this man confessed to be a serial rapist and he confirmed to the girl that he is not near to achieving his target on the number of...
