The controversial livestock Bill 2021 has been withdrawn by the Kenyan  National Assembly Majority Leader Amos Kimunya on the promptings of the  Executive.
This disclosure was made on Friday in a statement by Kimunya.
"The bill has temporarily been suspended until we have more consultations within the government because the issues we are raising are some of the issues people have raised from elsewhere," Kimunya stated,'' he disclosed.
The bill was to be introduced for its first reading on Tuesday but was removed from the day\s agenda after the Assembly Speaker, Justin Muturi stated that further consultations were imperative.

A law in the livestock bill had proposed that any person who intends to keep bees required to obtain a license.
Further, the bill stated that no person would be allowed to keep bees for commercial purposes except in an apiary registered under the new Act.
"A person shall not own or possess bees or beekeeping equipment for commercial purposes unless the person is registered under the Act or allow bees to be kept on land owned or occupied by the person unless the land is registered under the act as the location of an apiary," reads the bill.

The impression everywhere is that State Governors and Chairmen of Local Governments, who are entitled to borrow under the Debt Management Act, shall abide by the provisions of the Act and exhibit a high sense of responsibility in managing borrowed funds.
Indeed, the ongoing debate among Nigerians is the sustainability of the debts at all levels of governance, since the country has only a single economy.
The Act seeks to ensure prudence in the management and utilization of borrowed funds, while simultaneously plugging in several measures that shall guarantee transparency in debt management at all levels.Transfer Money with Wise
Considering the worrisome debt profile of the country, the major concern now is how the loans are being utilized.
Without a doubt, indicators suggest that Nigeria has relapsed to the experience of 1978 and 1990, the period of excessive external debts.
Nigerians are already expressing fears that Those-in-Charge may have taken the country back to the past when it could not pay or service its loans.
It is a fact that no state can borrow externally unless the Federal Government borrows from them and turns it to them via a supplementary agreement, as stipulated by the constitution, that no state can borrow on its own externally.
Although the states' domestic debts are shrouded in mystery, the resolve of law enforcement and security agencies not to protect criminals any longer shall go a long way in checkmating the unabating insecurity nationwide.
Not long ago Those-in-Charge stated that the South West Geo-Political zone is the most peaceful, perhaps, but the insinuation is that it could be a covert directive. Days after, the unexpected occurred in a community in Oyo state.
Sadly, the reactionary and snail-speed approach to governance in certain states is already suggesting a veritable means to an end.

Namibians have been called upon to desist from making unguarded utterances and unite to develop the country.
This call was made by the Minister of Urban and Rural development, Erastus Uutoni while inspecting the 121 houses to be allocated to the victims of the Twaloloka fire disaster at Walvis Bay.Transfer money with Wise

“We need to develop this country irrespective of political party or affiliation, stop talking too much, and start with the actual development. Let us work together as a team, Namibia can only be developed by united people,” Uutoni stated.

There are three major segments of life worthy of consideration: childhood period and challenges of childbearing.

Prime age and challenges of wealth acquisition, while the third one should focus on management challenges of the problems associated with old age.

Parents are, therefore, challenged on the right of custody of the child through a safe and secured environment and effective provisions for physiological needs against the possible odd of peer group effect.

The growing child must have a good foundation of right and correct natural nurturing for him or her to be able to weather the storm of struggling to break even during his or her prime age in the voyage of acquiring wealth with the needed attendant wisdom to manage it. He or she must, therefore, shun the frustrating sides of life that may easily weaken the strong ones into a pathetic state of indolence.

However, for him or her to enter the stage of a senior citizen, he or she must be prepared to leave a legacy of self-sufficiency and good social interaction which are basic prerequisites for the comfort of old age.

The question now, is how prepared are we to overcome the problems of old age? We may not be able to achieve so much in this respect without enjoining the grace of divine intervention in our affairs.

The sermon for the present, therefore, for our spiritual diet is from Ecclesiastes 12: 1-5,''1Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

2While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:

3In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,

4And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;

5Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:''

The above worrisome description of old age emphasizes the inseparability of Science from Religion, Medical Science itself depends so much on Technology or process equipment.

All Disciplines, therefore, interlink for human usefulness.

The Holy Quran equally emphasizes the need to be prepared, rightly, spiritually, socially, and medically, in particular, to monitor and manage well our growth profile for good.

The Holy Quran 30: 54 refers, ''It is Allah Who created you in a state of helpless weakness, then gave you strength after weakness(prime age) then, after strength gave you weakness and a hoary head: He creates whatever he wills, and it is He Who has all knowledge and power.''

The inferences of all these analyses are that we must allow our houses of God to be functional to benefit well the adherents for them to be Scripture Compliant, rather than been nominal deadwood. This is because, at every segment of our life development, there is a dire need for divine intervention which we must work for, for its realization. While the foundation of childhood care and prime-age caution is important, we must not neglect the need for every individual to overcome the problems of old age. Be wise.

Nigerians have been called upon to be steadfast in their faith in God.
This call was made by a Christian Cleric, Pastor Opeyemi Ajayi.
''Nigerians should be steadfast in their faith in God. All aspirations of human beings are tied to God. All should have faith in God, regardless of the situation they find themselves'', Pastor Ajayi stated.

In a pluralistic nation with many different ethnic and tribal groups, there must be cultural type variations with corresponding diverse opinions and perceptions on the way people would view the process of achieving unity, growth, and development.

Every Nigerian believes and knows that inclusiveness is the bedrock of upholding the spirit of playing prominent roles in the scheme of nation-building.

However, it is no more so, as it manifests in the laws of such a virtue as patriotism, whereby the powerful tool in the national anthem, most especially, on how the efforts of our heroes past shall not be in vain becomes just a song and the objective of the pledge for the nation only lives as a mere tantalizing mirage because we all fail to walk the talk of the beautiful oath of allegiance.

Laws of patriotism have adversely affected our leadership and governance postures because of the attendant stance of Timocracy in our veins, making us think more of the benefits we may, individually and by chance, source from the opportunity of service.

Worse still, we see service as business as usual making the people lose interest in their leaders as well as influencing the people to believe that corruption is legitimate.

All Ministries Departments and Agencies including Parastatals are now been run through a lackadaisical approach as well as with no passion for the nation that belongs to all of us.

The challenges of inclusiveness have led to the marginalization of women in all spheres of our lives including the areas of decision making that even directly affects their lives.

Worse still, the government's neglect of people with disabilities is a product of our leaders' insensitivity to most of the international instruments from the United Nations on the need to domesticate such articles of laws, policies, and their implementation as they may affect the development of the nation and the wellness of the people.

From our era of the dignity of labor and work just for the affluence level, we are now in an era of kleptocracy in government, the disregard for the rule of law with blatant impunity with strange clauses in the constitution.

The unity of the nation is been threatened by the failure of the government to deliver the people from the shackles of poverty, hunger, and diseases to give way to insecurity.

In the face of injustice and inequality, there is a limit to which the fundamental human rights of Nigerians can be trampled.

We must, therefore, disallow the state of degeneration of the current situation.

In the Yoruba tradition, the broom usually resists the attack from flies, but when we allow the broom to scatter on the floor, people trample on it randomly.

We must not allow degeneration to set in, to the extent that the socio-spiritual state of every man would be negatively affected.

Those in positions of power, therefore, need to be sensitive and responsive to the people's yearnings for the necessary improvement of their wellness status, to promote inclusiveness for the people's sense of belonging to ensure unity, growth, and development.

 Information Leak: Govt Official Arrested in Sudan

The Director of Information, Khartoum State, Sudan, El Tayeb Saad Eddin, has been arrested for leaking classified information to unauthorized persons who took an active part in the immediate past administration of Al Bashir

According to the Sudan News Agency (SUNA), Saad Eddin's arrest was ordered by the Committee for Dismantling the System of 30 June 1989 and Restoration of Public Funds.

The News Agency also stated that investigations and charges are being drawn up in line with the Dismantling Act and the Public Service Act.

The allegation against the Director revolves around the fact that he has ''continued to communicate actively with elements in the dissolved National Congress Party”.

General lack of been scripture compliance in worshipping God in almost every religion is responsible for adherents' inability to commune with God for timely intervention in the affairs of man, this is because, in every religion, there is a water bed level for God and Godliness, where the divine endowment is inexhaustible.

Unfortunately, adherents of religion treat the process of worship on the surface level of mere social or material level of religion's existence. This is why it is advisable to teach our children from the cradle, the essence of a Godly life and the need to live by the spirit to be rightly led into the process of making the right decisions.

It is therefore essential that we serve God right from the period of puberty and adolescence, at our young age for us to be endowed with a high degree of religiosity.

Ecclesiastes 11: 9-10 admonishes all of us on this, '' 9 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.

10 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.''

In this direction, the Holy Quran 91: 7-10, shows all the best way to live through the need for body preservation from sins and crimes and soul purification from devilish thought processes. ''By the Soul and the proportion and order given to eat; and its inspiration as its wrong and its right;-truly succeeds that purifies it and it fails that corrupts it.''

Young people must be given the right orientation that spans empowerment essence and correct behavioral checks as demonstrated by a holy man presented and regarded as an epitome of good parenting in the Holy Quran 31: 17-19, ''O my son establish what is just and forbid what is wrong: and bear with patient constancy whatever betides thee; for this is the firmness of purpose in the conduct of affairs and swells not thy cheek for pride at men. Nor walk in insolence through the heart: for Allah loveth not any arrogant boaster. And be moderate in thy pace and lower thy voice; for the harshest of sands, without doubt, is the brain of the ass.''

Using the quoted scriptures to assess every home and parenting method makes yesterday to be easy to manage, peaceful and prosperous because of the environment of discipline and ethical guides at home and at the places of work. However, today the same measure of assessment would show our society to be a caricature of itself because of the attitudinal lapses into human frivolities and waywardness as a result of the present climate of constitutional indiscipline and lack of zero tolerance to corruption.

There is, therefore, the need for all of us to uphold the principle and culture of good parenting, whereby parents play the role model to prevent the children, most especially, the young ones in the adolescent stages from swimming in moral rot for us to be able to process them into the objective goal of making them be reliable and dependable future leaders. No jot of the words of God must be trivialized for religion to be potent in giving our young ones fertile growth of knowledge, wisdom, and the power of the discerning mind to be able to make the right decisions at the right time.

Acts : 4-31

31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
