The new draft constitution
Have you had time to go through the draft constitution? What do you think about it? Do you feel the needs of kenyas are met in the new draft? Are the land laws good enough for the people of Taita? What touches you most on the new draft? What do you agree with and what don't you agree with? |

The first Gay Marriage between two Kenyan Men In London
The first ever gay marriage between two kenyan men took place in London this month. This has opened up a huge discussion in Kenya and amongst Kenyans living abroad as well. The committe sitting to review the constitution refused to incorporate gay rights on the new constitution. Do you think it's about time the gay society was let to be? What is your opinion on this? |

Was the census really needed? Or is it a waste of money?
Given the economic situation being experienced in kenya and the drought, famine just to mention a few..I tend to think that the timing of the census was off the scale. Millions are starving, thousands without jobs and the government spends money to count people? At the end of the day, what is the use of counting people who are dying in hunger? In my opinion, this is a waste of resources. The have provided jobs to a few individuals for 7 days..but what about the larger percentage? If this money was invested in hostpitals, then all deaths and births would be recorded.This would save the government alot of money and time. People in the villages could register with chiefs, people in towns could register with council. This would have been an ongoing excercise for a whole year. Call me biased, but in my opinion, the census is totally useless when millions are dying of hunger! |

The brutal killing of a miner in Dawida
The brutal killing of the white miner is taita has left many questions un answered. Itis unfortunate that the old man had to die that way. I can not talk much about this because I do not know the facts for sure that led to his death apart from what was written in newspapers. Mwatate MP was qouted saying that the miner was very rude to the locals as he had no respect for black people. But that does not warranty the brutal way he was killed. The newspaper quoted the son of the killed miner saying that the whole mess has some political motives in it.The question is, does it? How did he get the land to start with? If he acquired the lease in an honest way, why all the remorse feelings between the miner and the locals? Too many questions that will need to be answered!! |

Unique Places in dawida
Admitting that Dawida is a beautiful place is an understatement. Taita rocks. I know of this very beautiful place in Mgange Nyika. When you stand right at the peak of mgange and view Nyika, the scenery for Nyika from Mgange is magnificent. I do not think I have ever seen such a view. |

Black magic in Dawida
When you read the origin and culture of wadawida, you will find it interesting that there is a difference between wanganga(warighiti) and wachawi(wasawi). Warighiti are said to have been very important people in the dawida society; where else wasawi are said to be shunned off by society. We do not have enough information about the fact that warighiti used or did not use black magic to heal. Is there any association between warighiti and wasawi? Or is it all black magic? |

How important is your mother tongue to you?
Just how important is kidawida to you? How are you helping in preserving the language and the culture? Most of the kids or even adults who live in the towns can not communicate in kidawida. What are we doing about it? Are we making any effort to teach our kids the language? If we are making any effort that is. I think the whole concept of culture, language and traditions is slowly eroding in Kenya. Intermarrying is not an issue, as a matter of fact it should be encouraged, but if we are not careful, soon we will be like the western countries- without culture and traditions. We should not let that happen |

Priest's take on the gay society- blame it on the woman
I was very shocked when a priest in Malindi blamed women for ''making men turn gay''. It is amazing how people who have the power/charge to influence the society with the sunday summons can utter such words. How are women to blame? That women have failed on their role as wives has led men turning to other men for companionship?? How insane! What of the gay women? Who is to blame then? |

Raila's subsidy to the poor? Can this work?
Raila's new ''great idea'' of giving hand outs to kenyas in slums is yet another one of those meant to fail programmes started. I do agree that Kenya has one of the highest number of poor people, but handouts will not solve poverty. |

New Members Of Parliament
All eyes are now focused on the newly elected MP's of Dawida. I believe the elections especially in Taita were fair and free.You promised enough goodies during your campaigns, we are now waiting for you to deliver.Like the people in Voi have shown all the politicians, we elect you to work, if you do not deliver, we get rid of you. I think it is a good thing for wadawida to finaly realise that they are in control of their politics and that the MP's need to work.

Cabinet at Last
Finally the coalition cabinet was named yesterday.It is no suprise that PNU has managed to retain the ministries that both parties were fighting for. It is a shock however for the ordinary kenyan, with all that has been happening to Kenya's economy, now we have to dig deeper into our pockets to pay for the extra ministries that have been created. Now we can truly say that baby kissers are really selfish individuals.

7 women in the new cabinet is surely a slap on the face
During election campaigns, all the parties promised to give more chance to women if they won. Now that they have created 40 ministries, naming only seven women ministers is a slap on the face to the kenyan woman. 15 women would have made more sense, or atleast 12. But 7?I believe we have many women who have the capability of running a ministry better than some of the ministers named in the new cabinet.Talk is talk...and talk is really cheap!! Thats why our politicians can afford to say anything they want and get away with it...What do wadawida women feel about this? |

Members of Parliament should not be Ministers
The best way to stop the hunger for power amongst in the kenyan political scene is to pass a law that says Ministers should not be MP's.The parliament be given more power. MP's to be voted by people, while Ministers should be appointed or selected by the parliament. Ministerial positions should be advertised like any other positions in government. The candidates should be vetted by the parliament, then after thorough vetting and scrutiny, the ministers selected in parliament. However, the ministry should be under parliament. The ministers must be answerable to the parliament. That way we the voters have a watchdog who we elect at the grassroot. The parliament should have the powers over ministers and should be able to fire and hire new ministers. The current system we have now makes other MPs who are voted like any other MPs feel more superior than others just because they are made ministers. Hence there is nobody to really act as a watchdog for the voters. |

How could they remove Mwatela?
The recent removal of Mwatela from CBK left many people bruised, especially the dawida community. Many think it is political, but is it? What is the real story behind the sage? We can speculate all we want, but will we ever know the truth? Our MP's should come out strong to defend their own. She is amongst the few people from Dawida who hold high civil positions. |

Why should Kenya take sides on US Politics?
The recent saga about the deportation of the known author has raised many questions. Is this political? The guy is said to have written a rather controversial book, but was all the saga necessary? Given the fact that Obama is half Kenyan, and many people would like to see him be voted the next president, but the question remains unanswered: What this saga a way to show who Kenya really favors? |

Congrats to Mwatela
We can jivunia an assistant minister from dawida. Though our hopes were for a minister, its still great that we got an assistant minister. Naomi and Mwatela, we hope you make our taita taveta land be recognized in the new government. Given the fact that there is a ministry for development of arid areas, we hope that you can vouch for taita taveta to be developed. Much of the land like maktau, mwatate, taveta to name just a few, is semi arid. Our hopes are on you two . |

What has changed in their constituents? The promises they made, are they coming a reality? They promised to deliver. What is it that they are changing or rather trying to change in dawida? |

Sworn enemies
Are daughter and mother in laws sworn enemies? Why is it that in so many cases the two never really get along? What is it that creates the animosity between the two? Is the attention that they have to share? I am one of the lucky ones who has a very good relationship with my in laws. Many at times my friends complain about this ''hatred'between them and their mother in laws. Is it that mothers feel that no woman is good enough for their sons? Is it control behaviour from the mother's side? Is it utterly pure jelousy from the wife's side? |

What do gifts mean in a relationship
After the dating days are gone when all the pleasing and impressing is past, the gift part is also shelved away. This happens in many relationships. But giving each other gifts goes a long way in boosting your relationship. Gifts are a way to appreciate the other person. A gift could be making packing lunch for your spouse, doing the simple things that you would not normally do. We do not need money to buy expensve gifts. I think gifts mean something in a relationship especially when it comes to women. What's you say? |

What is going on?
has anyone been watching Taita lately? I have..there is a time bomb that will explode soon, or rather is exploding now. What is happening with our people? What has happened to our morals?We are sleeping with anyone who cares to spread their legs..we are having numerous affairs without any care in the world about HIV and Aids. Women are sleeping with boys as young as their sons, and man with girls are young as their grand kids. What is going on in Dawida?What people do not understand is the fact that they are just sleeping with each other: mother sleeps with a young boy who then sleeps with his daugther; fathers sleeping with young women who then sleep with their sons, at the end of the day we are all sleeping with each other aren't we? No wonder there is a very alarming rate of HIV and Aids related diseases in the past few years. So many people still have the mentality that HIV can not be real, or atleast it's just in the big towns and cities. The village girl thinks the village boy could not be infected; just the town boy, hence no need to protection..the town boy thinks there is no way a village girl could be infected; no need for protection either..and thats how we are dying.Out of ignorance.

Kiss on a first date? :p-
I have been following a very interesting discussion at my work place. Well, I mean I know as per our african culture people never used to kiss or even meet when they were courting. But those were old days.Things have changed now. People meet on the first day, like each other kiss, jump into bed and get married. Some can say we have no morals anymore, some say its the modern way. What do you think? Can you meet-kiss-marry the first day? |

Size 6 or 18
It seems like the kenyan brothers are making the kenyan sisters starve themselves to death. Everywhere you go women are striving to be size 6, like the models they see on television. Our brothers have clearly indicated that to be considered sexy you have to be a small size.I personally think a woman should be round figured..hehehe..with some little nyama....so please make it clear to us, our dear brothers..why are you making us shade off that round figure for a size 6? |

Why do we shy away from bedroom talks?
People talk about everything, except their bedrooms. Why do we live in such a closed society?Why are not free to talk about these things openly? Why are we able to talk about our jobs, children, family but not this important issue? Some people say the church has alot to do with this. I am not sure I agree with that point. Most churches teach people to abstain from sex till they are married, but the same religions do not teach them how to be once they enter matrimonial life. I think they should take the same initiative to encourage people to talk freely about sex once they are married. |

We need to talk to the youth!!
With all the hype on TV and every information available on internet, we really need to talk to our youth. Young people are finding themselves in situations that they would have avoided if only someone talked to them. We have all sorts of addictions amongst our young people. Drugs, prostitution,pornography, name it. We can ignore it all we want, but I think we need to take up the responsibility of taking and guiding the youth. Schools can not do it alone. |

Marriage Kills Romamnce
They say once someone is married they can forget about romance. People do so much, go out of their way to please their spouses when they are dating..but all that dissapears as soon as they say I do. It could go on for a few years, but with time it dwindles. What happens? Why do people suddenly stop trying to please their partner?What happens to romance when people say I do? |

I have been asking myself this question for years now. I have never been able to get an answer. The other day while having chit chat with my workmates, some did finally shade light on this topic. Apparently, there is whole lot more than we know about this issue. Some argued its the bodies. Younger girls are more hard or tight whatever you call it. Their bodies and skins are still very tight and they do not have the ''tyres'' and the love handles. But it still didn't answer my question. What really draws older men to younger girls? |

What defines intimacy in a relationship/Does it matter?
What defines intimacy in a relationship? Is it the ability to communicate without talking? Is it holding hands? Is it having a strong chemistry? What defines intimacy in your language? |

Religion and relationships
With the inter tribal/racial/religion relationships that we see these days...I am left wondering. How important is your religion and belief when it comes to your relationship. Does it count? Why? If it doesnt count, why not? Would you break up a very good relationship because you differed in religion? Would you change your religion? Would you be flexible enough to accept your spouse's different religious beliefs? |

The 3 basic ingredients of a successful relationship.
Many have argued that love is all you need to keep a relationship going. I do agree with that. But after many months/ years or being together, love is not the only ingredient that makes a successful relationship. My opinion is that there are 3 bacis ingredients |

Jealousy !!! the relationship killer
Is there healthy and un healthy kind of jealousy? I don't think so. Human beings have some sort of jealousy in them all.But when one partner is extremely jealous, it could ruin a relationship. |

Taita Proverbs
Do we really know Kidawida? Can we say proudly that we can understand, speak and translate taita proverbs and sayings? Personally I do not think I know much of it. May the real mdawida help us learn :-p |

No Internet? This is embarrasing
It still feels like we are in the 14th century. It is a shame that all Internet providers in Kenya have totally ignored Dawida. Posta did try give us Internet but that failed too. It is so painful that even in 2007 we have to travel all the way to Voi to access internet, and have to wait for hours to just check mail.To make the matters worse one has limited time as everybody else wants to use the services. What is happening? Are we too small for ISP's? Why did Posta stop the internet services in Wundanyi? |

Our beautiful Dawida
I have travelled the world, but I must admit that Dawida is one of the most beautiful places we have in our Kenya. The beautiful forests, the water falls, the wildlife, all these things that we Wadawida take for granted.I think Dawida has enough potential to ''discover'' yet another source of generating income for the locals. We have very beautiful tourist attraction sites. Our own Vuria and Iyale are enough. All we need to do is construct small camping places for visitors. We have many picnic places, we have many waterfalls, and hiking places. We have picnic places. I think we should do something about this...take advantage of the natural resources that God gave us..and who knows, one day Dawida will be famous for having the highest number of tourists going camping in their beautiful hills. |

How does the Taita Community benefit from Tsavo?
More than 50% of Dawida land is taken up by Tsavo National park. The rest is taken up by the sisal estate, and the little left is not enough for the community. Just like the Maasai people have control of Maasai Mara, i think the taita should also fight to get control of Tsavo. At least the part that is in taita land. People could benefit, the money could be used to repair roads, dig water wells, build more schools, improve the life of the people of the community. We are too laid back, we do not fight for our rights. If we can not get control of the park, then maybe we should at least get 50 % of the income from Tsavo. |

Where are the young Taita business persons?
Where are the young taita business persons? I know we have a lot of potential to make it in business. I also believe that we have so many young brains with so many ideas that are waiting to try out their ideas. I also believe that there are so many whose ideas have made it big. I am calling up on all the business persons in dawida. Lets join hands and form a business community. Let us take taita to the next level, economically. Lets empower our community |

Free Education a disaster!!
Even though many kids have benefited from the free education politcy, i think the education quality has gone down. Schools especially public ones are just a mess. The ratio of teacher student is way above what they can handle. The attention that was given to individual students is now gone. The teachers have cope with a burden of too much work. Don't get me wrong, it was the best things to happen, but the government need a better plan for this to work and benefit anyone. They need to hire more teachers and pay them better to maintain them in public schools. If something is not done, the kids will get poor quality education |

Homosexualityi In Kenya
With all the western influence managing our kenyan lives, what happens now. In the past years we have seen many gay people both men and women come out openly. They even had a demonstration once to stand up for their rights. Shocking as it may sound, some people are already observing animal behaviour just to prove that animals are also gay, and it is the way of nature. I do not have any bad feeling about the gay people, as a matter of fact I have respect for all human beings regardless of their sexual preference.I am just asking how you think and feel about this gay issue in kenya. Can religion and african culture adopt and accept that? What would you do if one of your famil member was gay? |

Why aren't we blessed with snow? Isn't taita hills cold enough for snow?
I couldn't help envy those fellows in Nyahururu who had the chance to play in snow. You could see the excitement and life in their faces when they finally had the experience of snow. I think they would have loved to skate and ski as well. It was such an envious experience for the fellows in the area. I used to think Taita hills is a very cold place, especially Mgange Nyika and Vuria. There were times when the cold was always misty and wet. In the 80's Mgange used to be cold. But isn't it cold enough to snow? I sure would love to ski in Vuria and Iyale |
