KENYA'S GENERAL ELECTIONS

HON CHARITY NGILU COULD LAUGH ALL THE WAY TO THE ODM CABINET

Now that Raila Odinga's ODM and Kibaki's PNU party have agreed to form a coalition government on a 50-50 power and ministerial sharing what was predicted in our earlier post [reproduced below] about Hon Charity Ngilu is certainly set to be a reality.
Hon Charity Ngilu [pictured], MP for Kitui Central, and former Minister for Health, is certainly a very valuable supporter ODM has recruited.

The former Minister has made a name for herself, always projecting a high profile with impact.She is a tough campaigner as evidenced in her 1997 presidential bid and during the 2002 General Elections which saw NARC and Hon Mwai Kibaki win massively and become Kenya’s third President.

It should be remembered that Hon Ngilu was instrumental to the formation of the current ruling party - NARC.She is very daring, which is her trademark. Although her rival, Hon Kalonzo Musyoka, the ODM-K Presidential candidate now calls the shots in Ukambani she decided to support Raila’s quest for the Presidency thru ODM.

Don’t be mistaken. Over the years, Hon Ngilu has cultivated close following in her Kitui Central constituency and Ukambani in general. She is likely to woo a significant number of women voters in Kenya to support ODM.She has done her arithmetics well.

She could surprise her rivals by retaining her Kitui Central seat with massive votes.Should ODM win the elections and Hon Raila forms his cabinet he would most likely want to include women. He would also need some representation from Ukambani community. Here is where Hon Charity Ngilu comes in.Whether through direct election or nomination,

Hon Charity Ngilu will laugh all the way to the next cabinet, should Raila win the forthcoming General Elections, later this year.

SEARCH ENGINES REQUIRE IMAGES OPTIMIZED FOR SIZE AND QUALITY

We all know that images or graphics contribute great impact in a sales message of your products."One picture is worth a thousand words" - so, they say.

Used appropriately - images, particulary, if they have been produced with a good digital camera,can enhance the appearance of a web page. Pictures do attract favourable attention.
However, when trying to index your web pages, certain engines will time out at 30 seconds...

Speed Matters...

If the images you have placed on your web pages are ladden with very high pixels the pages will be too slow to load. It should be noted that large graphics can account for over 70% of a page's total kilobytes.

Many major search engines will timeout before indexing pages that load too slowly.
This means slow loading Web sites may not be included in the search results of some search engines.

The other negative stroke is, loading time over 24 seconds loses not less than 40% of potential viewers due to impatience! Most viewers will move on before your page has finished loading, your page will bounce and you lose a sale!

Good loading speed of a web page should be under 30 seconds.

When adding graphics or images to your Web page, ensure they are optimized for size and quality.

KENYA'S PNU AND ODM SET TO FORM A COALITION GOVERNMENT

Kibaki and Raila take Hardline Positions

...........................................................................................

On January 25, 2008 Opposition leader Raila Odinga ruled out the option of taking up the post of prime minister in President Kibaki's government.

It is believed that the President had offered Raila this position at his own terms and that Raila would be simply a senior most minister with no executive powers. Clearly Kibaki had ruled out power sharing with the opposition ODM party.

Mr Odinga on his part had said that the only options on the table for discussion were the resignation of President Kibaki and a re-run of the presidential elections and possibly with formation of a transitional gorvernent to conduct pending new elections.

Dr Annan, President Kikwete of Tanzania Resolve the Impossible

However, the hardline positions taken by Kibaki's PNU party and Raila's ODM party became untenable and Dr Kofi Annan, former UN Secretaty General and Chief Mediator, suspended the talks with PNU and ODM team of eight and asked to deal directly with President Kibaki and oppostion leader Raila Odinga.

A Meeting was arranged on February 28, 2008 beween President Kibaki and Mr Odinga at Harambee House which houses the President's Office.

The two laders were joined by Dr Annan, H.E. Jakaya Kikwete, President of Tanzania and current Chairman of African Union,H.E. Benjamin Mkapa, former Tanzanian President and a member of Annan's mediation Team.

It was a Historic Moment when the protagonists, President Kibaki, Mr Raila and Eminent Mediation Team members emerged from their Meeting with A NEW PACT which shall lead to the immediate formation of a coalition government between PNU and ODM parties with 50 - 50 power sharing. President Kibaki and Prime Minister-designate Raila Odinga after the signing of a peace deal on February 28. The two, whose parties will be sharing Cabinet slots equally have been asked to appoint ministers who will spearhead reforms

THE NEW PACT AT A GLANCE


* New Prime Minister with two deputies picked each from PNU and ODM

* Prime Minister to be picked from the party leader who is also an elected member of parliament from the party with a majority of members in paliament or where there is no party with majority he would be appointed from a coalition of parties with majority members in parliament

* PM and deputies to be removed only by a Motion of no confidence by Parliament

* Government to take into account portfolio balance and reflect parliamentary strength KENYA Parliament amended the Constitutiont to create the posts of Prime Minister and two deputies.President Kibaki has now signed the The Kenya Accord and Reconciliation Act 2008, officially making ODM leader Raila Odinga the Prime Minister designate

Peace Returns To Kenya, Tourists Are Now Arriving In The Country

With the signing of Mediation Agreement, Peace is now setting in and life is returning to normal.

The chief mediator in Kenya’s political crisis Kofi Annan has held another round of talks with President Kibaki and ODM Leader. Both Kibaki and Odinga said they were satisfied with the progress made by the Kofi Annan-led mediation team but wished the talks could be faster.

Grand Coalition?

On course: Chief mediator Kofi Annan at a media briefing on the progress of mediation talks at the Nairobi Serena Hotel last Friday. Parties agree on some issues,talks resume this week.

Why Annan won’t let Kenya go to the dogs.

The progress may be slow, but as the mediation of Kenya’s political crisis entered its third week,

....................................................................

former UN secretary general Kofi Annan was proving that he is an accomplished negotiator who thrives even as political rivalry and brinkmanship intensifies. Apart from managing to cool the political tempo, having arrived in the country at the height of inter-ethnic violence. Dr Annan has proved to both the protagonists — the Party of National Union and ODM - that he is a negotiator and mediator with extremely geat talent.

Others will be victims to online scams or pure Fraudsters. Don't let this happen to you.

YOU can always AVOID the pitfalls of being taken for a ride. Before you decide to take up a Business offer, establish whether the website or/person promoting it is real and reputable.

Other steps to check out should include
1 Does the site include contact / helpdesk link and is it valid with a Landing Page?
2 Information About the Company
3 Frequently Asked Questions Page or some Database Page
4 If you are required to make some Payment, are they using a third party processor?
5 Do they give a refund if you're not satistified with product/service?
6 How do you cancel, if at all, your membership or custom? - test and confirm the link
7 Even if things are clear, try to write/send them a query to see whether you receive only an autoresponder / robot reply or whether an actual person responds pertinently.

Are Adsense Ready Websites Scams?

Critics of Adsense Ready Websites,say That:They offer duplicate content. because many people will probably buy them therefore you won't have unique websites.Instead you will have duplicate websites with duplicate content

Duplicate pages are not normally displayed in search listings, in fact duplicate websites are dropped from search engines altogether. You buy these adsense ready sites, you lose your money

In the event that a seller of adsense ready website also hosts it for you, then all the pages, except the home page, could be provided by the seller's server and not yours. You upload all the pages to your server,the critics say, but the links in the site don't point to them but point to the seller's equivalent pages with his Adsense code.Even when there is some traffic to your site and you earn some money, these revenues are diverted by the website seller because some of the links are pointed to his server and therefore you lose out.

* * * *

Supporters of Adsense Ready Websites,retort That:You can purchase these sites at very low prices, thus making a saving on the time and cost of getting a website

The pages have rich rotating content with targeted keywords which attract more Google ads, hence greater traffic, more clicks and therefore more revenues to the website owner.

You may host the site elsewhere, insert your google code. and you can easily check out your tracking code on each php page to safeguard your interest.

Contrary to the critic's assertion that search engines would ignore the pages, good adsense ready sites are optimized for better search engine results. While some of the content might be the same as others, it is no different from doing a search at google for the term car and getting thousands of sites back. What really matters is how you use the content and how well your pages rank in the search engines.
