Andrea Kenneth (guys, please, try to focus on her eyes for a while)
So, Peter Kenneth formally launched his presidential bid on Sunday with a great and clear manifesto. His son, Andrew Kenneth, became an instant online celebrity on Monday, following a superb speech during his father's event.
And now, it's time to meet Peter Kenneth's daughter: Andrea Kenneth. I think she's kinda cute. What's your opinion?
I don't know a lot about her. I think she may be 17 years old, since there was an eleven-year-old reader of Coastweek, Andrea Kenneth from Nairobi, who said in October 2006:
"The goats were funny and the book made me wonder how it is to be a goat. "Some of the stories go from sad to happy and some leave you in suspense - I like that."
Andrea Kenneth with a friend (no, I don't have her number)
Well, she may have stopped wondering how it is to be a goat by now, and she may be looking forward to bigger and greater things very soon.
Oh my God, someone decided Kenya needs a reality TV show. The show "Meet the Konstantaras" should become the ‘African Kardashians’...
"The celebrated Film and TV couple Alex and Lizz Njagah Konstantaras have charmed their way into the hearts of pan African audiences with their diverse film roles; Lizz for her beauty and easy charm and Alex for his quick wit.
Now, away from the lights and cameras of the show biz world, "Meet the Konstantaras' " follows this power couple as they settle into married bliss, move into a new home in Nairobi and balance their hectic careers with married life.
Take a peek into the lives of Alex and Lizz Njagah Konstantaras!"
Here's the trailer. Remember the trailer should be teasing and making you look forward to the actual thing. This show must be more than crap!
Maybe our dear Lizz Njagah could do us a big favor and go back to Lux soap commercials?
Kenya's hopes for a clean sweep in the men's 1,500m at the Olympic Games in London were boosted after Chepseba was reinstated to the semifinals after being eliminated on appeal following a trip by American Matthew Centrowitz on Friday night which cost him a qualification slot.
Go Chepseba Go!

Kenyans rocked the streets with over 400 dancers to show their support for Team Kenya at the London 2012 Olympics.
Not really a flashmob, but still...
GO KENYA GO! And come home with all the gold!
The Song "Coming Home" by Nameless is becoming Kenya's unofficial national anthem. Here are the lyrics.
Intro
Narudi nyumbani, been around the world seen alot of things,
alot of things, au sio
Kenya at the Opening Ceremony of London 2012
Verse 1
I'm writing this letter
to my daughter
I wanted to tell her (I'm coming, coming home)
I'm writing this letter
to my daughter
I wanted to tell her (I'm coming, coming home)
but now I'm on a mission
to represent my nation
but now I'm on a mission
to get that victory
so switch on the TV
and hope that you see me
getting that victory
that will make you proud of me
I went out on the station
to represent my nation
I went out on the station
to get that victory
so switch on the TV
and hope that you see me
getting that victory
that will make you proud of me
Chorus
I'm coming home
home where I belong (whoo o o)
I'm coming home
home where I belong (whoo o o)
Verse 2
I have seen many things,
been many places
been round the world I have seen many faces
I've fought many fights
through the days, through the nights
through the journey
I realise
there's nothing better than la familia
there's nothing sweeter or more superior
than to know where you are from
and represent your home
so when you hear this song
I'm coming home
Chorus
I'm coming home
home where I belong (whoo o o)
I'm coming home
home where I belong (whoo o o)
The story: Mr. Wallace has grown rich "by eating AIDS money like a famished crocodile". He thinks that he's untouchable and that a group of young people who are trying to shine a spotlight on his corrupt ways are nothing but "a bunch of nobodies". Wallace is about to learn that, in today's social-media world, the Nobodies have power, too.

Kenyan Education Minister Mutula Kilonzo last week indicated that school girls would be allowed to wear mini-skirts. He was arguing schoolgirls are not nuns.
This came after an incident where Rwathia Girls’ Secondary School went on strike demanding shorter skirts.
The Minister said that the reaction was a manifestation that the education sector was still being governed by outdated rules and regulations: “I am in total agreement with them (students). Why do you dress a schoolgirl like a nun? These girls do not want to be nuns; they want to be modern like Mutula!” said Kilonzo.
Kilonzo said that his Ministry was in the process of changing the Education Act that has been in force since 1968.
Bishops and Muslim leaders have now accused the Minister of promoting immorality, and are urging parents and teachers to ignore the call to allow miniskirts in schools.
I am with Kilonzo on this one. The production of miniskirts requires less fabric than the production of boring lengthy skirts, hence school uniforms will become cheaper. This brings down the cost of education and will enable more girls to go to school. Educate a girl, and you educate a nation.
And yes, there are some added benefits: miniskirts are convenient, fun, cute and very easy to move around in.
Meanwhile, schoolgirls in Rwanda have been banned from treating their hair with chemicals. The City of Kigali and State Minister Mathias Harebamungu have said that the practice must be abolished. I don't support this move. I would like to propose a ban on wigs and weaves instead. I hate wigs and weaves: they are often ugly, old and smelly. Enough said.
With the London Olympics just around the corner, I was checking out our Kenyan runners to get an idea of which Kenyan athletes will triumph at London 2012. Well, I concluded Vivian Cheruiyot has the cutest smile.
And while checking out our Kenyan athletes, I stumbled upon an athlete representing Fiji. Her name is Danielle Alakija. At an age of only 16, Danielle has qualified to compete in the 2012 Olympics running the Women’s 400 and the 200 meters.
Danielle Alakija is a citizen of three countries: England, Nigeria and Fiji. She was born in London. Her mother is from Nigeria. Her father’s family has roots in Brazil and England, while her grandmother on her dad’s side of the family is Welsh. Alakija moved to Fiji at six months old, and spent most of her life on the island nation. She moved to California at age 11.

Alakija is really excited about running in the Olympics just miles from her birthplace: “It’s going to be amazing,” Alakija said recently.
Coach Maurice Greene told her to just go to the Olympics and have fun:
“Just enjoy the whole Olympic movement. Don’t have high expectations, just enjoy the whole Olympic movement.”
He also said he has enjoyed working with Alakija:
“She’s a wonderful young lady. She overcame a lot this year. She withstood all of it. Danni is a phenomenal athlete. She’s always in good spirits, and she works hard. She really took on a position of being a leader. This year, she took other girls under her wing and tried to help everyone get better.”
Teammates are also impressed with Alakija:
“Danni is one of the hardest working athletes you’ll ever find.”
“She pushes us all."
“At first, she comes off as intimidating. Once you get to know her, she’s hilarious. She’s really sweet.”
And Alakija says:
“I’ve been given a gift. It’s important to make use of it. This is my passion.”
It looks like Yodric is Danielle's favorite plushy, keeping her company at the Olympics.
And Danielle seems to really care about her hair too:
I really hope it doesn't rain during my race :/ #myhair — Danielle Alakija(@DanielleAlakija) July 20, 2012
Well, she should be worried about her hair indeed. Danielle really looks good the way she is and I hope the London rains won't spoil her hair.
Back to our Kenyan athletes. They can smile, yes. Yes they can. But are our Kenyan athletes even on Twitter? They should get their act together and profile themselves for the Olympics! Fiji has already set the stage.
