WE recently ended 16 days of activism in the quest to end violence against women, which commenced on November 25 with the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (IDEVAW) and ended on December 10 with International Human Rights Day. I believe that as a country we cannot move ahead if we continue to see each other as the enemy or are in competition and fighting for limited resources.

In Summary For over a decade now, Okemwa has worked hard to promote poetry in Kenya. Dubbed a difficult genre or subject in Kenyan schools, his fervent activities to popularise it in public go beyond his own output. Many Kenyans know the leading poet based at Kisii University called Christopher Okemwa. He is the holder of the 2015 Burt Award for African Literature. In 2002, he won the Editor’s Choice Award for Outstanding Achievement in Poetry presented by the International Library of Poetry.
