Dear 2016, Wow, it’s just a few hours before we bid you goodbye and as a tradition I have to appreciate you. Let’s just say you have been really fair.  I really don’t want to complain too much about you. You took a good friend in the beginning of the year. However. In you I got some of the best memories to keep for a life time! From the many coffee dates with loved ones, to Mt. Kenya challenge to the MM walk…to grandma’s Birthday, to awesome road trips with friends…! Above all I am glad I touched a few lives, traveled, loved, laughed, made new friends, lost, experienced Gods faithfulness and above all got lots of good memories which are more than the bad one. I would indeed be a liar if I said you didn’t slap me on my face with a few surprises. Manze especially the last quarter of the year. Let’s say I was not ready to spoil my year. So yes I paved way for myself in the midst of the many arrows and here we are. I am sure you too underestimated me too. We both can...

Very clear and to say the least I am equally concerned about the teenagers whose lives are wasted in the prisons. However I do not understand why you had to support the reduction of the Sexual consent age!!!  It bothers me a lot. As a young girl, I was not ready for sex at 18 years old; forget the age of 16 years. My body was changing rapidly, my hormones overpowering me, teenage hood was not easy for me! I did not know who I was and what was good for me. I had all these men and boys interested in me! It was fun…But I just needed the attentio...
