Water in Kenya Crisis
Aug 8, 2009 Environment, Governance, Social Issues, The Economic
Lack of adequate water in Kenya has become the source of sometimes violent conflict particularly among pastoralist groups. The problem, however, is not confined to the arid and semi-arid parts of the country. All parts of the country are now experiencing serious Kenya water crisis with a combination of culpable factors. Among these are climate change, and destruction of water catchment areas and forests in the country as well as inadequate planning particularly with regards to rain harvesting.
1. What are the exact factors that contribute to the water shortage in Kenya?
2. What/who exactly is to blame for the water in Kenya shortage?
3. What measures should be place to address the frequent water shortage in the country?
4. What ways can we conserve water in our everyday life activities?

Kenya Post Election Violence
Aug 8, 2009 Governance, Patriotism, Social Issues
The dispensation of justice in Kenya is a big, emotive and often times controversial issue. This issue has captured the public’s attention particularly with regards to the trial of people suspected to have masterminded the Kenya post election violence of late 2007 and early 2008 following the bungled presidential election of December 2007.
The trial of people suspected to have been behind the skirmishes that left a reported 1,300 people dead and over 350,000 displaced has dominated public debate, and opinion is divided over where they should be tried – the International Criminal Court at The Hague, or locally through a local tribunal, or a Kenya truth justice and reconciliation commission.
1. What is the best option for trying post election violence masterminds?
2. Would Kenyans get justice if the post election violence suspects were tried at The Hague?
3. What would be implications for the country if the suspects were tried at The Hague?
4. What are the best solutions for electoral violence, and other anomalies that seem to characterize Kenya’s politics, and political choices?

Are Traffic Jams Here to Stay?
Jun 18, 2009 Environment, Governance, Infrastructure
Traffic jams are aggravated by malfunctioning traffic lights and inept traffic policemen. But the cause is overpopulation, which we simply cannot wish away overnight. Lets just build a whole new capital in some remote part of the country and start all over again.
1. Do you think this is the long term solution to our traffic problems?
2. What are your suggestions on how to tackle this stressful problem in the short run and what are the long term solutions?
