Event Recap:: PhD 2008

It's not just the name, its real... Heaven did come down on us during the PhD (Pullin Heaven Down) Prais-athon 2008.

Themed 'Peace In My Heart - Peace In The World' everything from the decor, the music, the authenticity, the works ll blended into a warm heartfelt worship day. From the first service at 8AM to the third one that ended way past 1PM and onto the main event in the afternoon, heaven smiled on us.

During the morning sessions, joint thanks giving prayers were made for our beloved country Kenya amid sounds of 'Mungu Ibariki Afrika, Mungu ibariki na Kenya'.

The afternoon session was warm and inviting, the stage was set with lovely African decor complimented by the stacks of hay and the kanga uniforms. The music was across board, from Rose Muhando's Yesu Nakupenda, Kamau Karongo's Mungu U Mwema, Mbuvi's Nishike to the international medley that included All Around, Mourning Into Dancing, Jesus Has Conquered; to the ever green Shout to Lord done in swahili God's Spirit was in the house.

Hang on, three tracks off the upcoming CD (with a December release date) were dropped and were they not hot! Keep it here for the details.

We now looking forward to the Second Edition of PhD Overnite taking place this Friday Oct 31st from 9:30PM. See you then and keep it here for more updates.

Saitoti orders closure of estate bars (Daily Nation Oct 15, 2008)

Internal Security minister George Saitoti has ordered the closure of bars and clubs operating in residential estates.

Premises that sell alcohol to minors and those that operate beyond authorised hours will also have their permits withdrawn.

Prof Saitoti said bars, especially in Nairobi estates, are a nuisance to residents and directed the Liquor Licensing Court, normally chaired by the Provincial Commissioner, to revoke their licences.

“The city is zoned into residential and business areas and no bars and night clubs are allowed in the former.

They are places of disturbance, they sell alcohol to minors and are also dens of criminals and prostitutes,” he said. Read more
