About 11,000 long distance drivers will go through a refresher course in a bid to reduce road fatalities, the National Transport and Safety Authority has announced. The refresher course, which will be taught using the new curriculum developed by the authority, is currently targeting commuter drivers who operate at night in order to reduce the number of accidents. ROAD CRASHES Majority of fatal crashes, 67 per cent, on Kenyan roads happen at night, the deputy director for safety strategies and county coordination Duncan Kibogon said.  The training will take about three months and drivers will get a certificate of competency after the course.

The former prime minister attended the meeting without informing his co-principals, raising questions on the future of the opposition outfit. Tension was palpable as the four leaders made it to the meeting after a weekend of uncertainty amid complaints from Mr Odinga’s co-principals that he had not talked to them since the Friday event. And even though they arrived in one convoy, the usual camaraderie was missing. Mr Odinga was the first to get out of his car but did not wait for the others. AGENDA He climbed out and was met by National Assembly Deputy Minority Leader Robert Ombui and walked straight into the meeting room, with Siaya Senator James Orengo in tow. He was followed by Mr. Wetang’ula, Mr. Musyoka, and Mr. Mudavadi.

They will also be seeking to know what is in it for the Nasa and the extent of t...

Every now and then I will see a list of things bloggers should do, but I notice people are not that inclined to do what they are asked to do, while they pay more attention to things they should NOT do. That is why I decided to create the list below. Here we go: 1.  You Must Not Expect Results Overnight : This is happening everywhere and that is the major reason why a large percentage of bloggers fail. Many bloggers come online unprepared and with the wrong set of expectations. They think blogging is a bed of roses and they only need to write one or two posts and begin to make money right away. Wrong! 2.  You Must Not Ignore Your Readers : Some bloggers start gaining traction fast, and after a while they start to make their blogs gravitate around themselves. That is, they start talking exclusively about themselves, about the things they like, about how cool they are and so on. Big mistake. Your blog is about your readers, not about you. 3.  You Must Not Scrape...
