All, Probably we should close the list temporarily until the political temperatures cool down otherwise if we continue like this we may loose a very important tool that have been quite informative and educative.

Robert,

Please DO NOT use derogatory language against Hon. Martha Karua.

She a sign of women leadership which is characteristically lacking in this country.

Could you please apologize to the women of this country. Men have significantly failed us in leadership in this country and we cannot afford to have anyone undermining women of resolve.

What was so derogatory about what Bobby said? If there was anything, then I believe it wasn't intentional. Prepending "phobia" to names in Kenya has never been derogatory though. It's sort of a culture that has taken roots in Kenya when there are political inclinations associated with an individual. Now, that, to me, is not derogatory.
