    The Chief Chef - The Last King of Scotland Saga

    The Story of Idi Amin serves as a curious case of when deceit, ambition and agression takes the place of hope, faith and trust. Often referred to as Big Daddy and The Gentle Giant, this enigma of a person ended up being a fierce ogre, whose war was not only directed to the colonial masters and the immigrants to his country, but even to his own people. This is the story of Distrust, Abuse, Ruthlessness and Kleptomania (D.A.R.K) against the mighty forces of the people.

    The Economics of Politics - The Gulag of Kenya's 'Best' President

    Mwai Kibaki was a highly esteemed economist and seasoned politician who captured the hearts of the Kenyan people with his promises of change and progress. As the country's third president, he inherited a legacy of corruption and political instability, vowing to steer Kenya towards prosperity and unity. As the early years of his presidency unfolded, Kibaki's efforts to tackle corruption and improve economic conditions earned him praise both domestically and internationally. Kenya's GDP growth soared, and numerous development projects were initiated, giving hope to a nation that had long sought meaningful progress. However, the promising image of Kibaki as a transformative leader took a dark turn during the 2007 elections. The tightly contested race for the presidency pitted Kibaki against Raila Odinga, a charismatic opposition leader, resulting in accusations of electoral malpractice and vote-rigging. The elections turned into a flashpoint of tension, and as the results were announced, claims of fraud and irregularities ignited widespread protests across the country. In the aftermath of the contested election results, Kenya witnessed a shocking escalation of violence, tribal clashes, and anarchy. The unity that Kibaki once promised seemed to crumble before the eyes of the Kenyan people, as communities turned against each other in a deeply polarizing and devastating conflict.
