MEMORABLE QUOTES
“As a continent, we haven’t even
begun to realize how worthy we
are, how rich our true history is.
And I mean our true history as
it was meant to be told, as our
parents would have passed it on
to us had those cultures not faded.
I want to tell that story. I want to
shine the light on an Africa we can
and should be proud of. When a
people know where they are from,
they can better map out where they
need to go.”
Media personality John Allan-
Namu in an interview with the
Standard; he had earlier worked
with KTN uncovering stories in
areas where many would fear to
tread.
“It is a course I am committed
to for the rest of my life…It is
encouraging to note that out of

50 percent drop from 12,000 in
2013.”

peacefully in his sleep. We
celebrate his life and what he
has done not only for us as a

focus is going to be plans and
arrangements to lay him to rest and
we will communicate further details
in due course”.

we have to deal with the law. Any

“You have a professional
obligation to inform the client
about information that he needs to
make informed decisions,”
Richard Painter, former top ethics
lawyer for President George W.
Bush, saying it was “unbelievable”
that the president’s lawyers
would not have alerted President
Trump to the matter when they
learned about them. Donald
Trump Jr., (reportedly) met with
a Kremlin-connected lawyer,
hoping to receive “incriminating”
information and documents about
Hillary Clinton that had reputedly
been assembled by the Russian
government. Whether Kasowitz or
other members of the president’s
defense team informed their client
about the emails is not known;
Trump told reporters this week he
only learned about the meeting
“two or three days ago” then.
