Emmanuel D Tayari,
During the election time, we always speak ill of politicians and even various policies that they have put forward. Ethics play a great role on how people analyze how politicians have used their roles for personal gain or misconduct. However, firstly let us ask ourselves, what is the relationship between ethics and politics? Ethics and Politics are similar as both are concerned with protecting the society’s prosperity: Ethics choose what is best for us to enjoy a healthy life, while politics organize the best social life possible. This means that these two are interrelated and you cannot create a prosperous society without having both.

IF the truth be told, I didn’t watch most of the matches played in South Africa June 11-July 11 this year in the quadrennial 2010 FIFA World Cup Soccer Finals.
In fact, I stopped watching soccer as a regular rubberneck in the early 1970s, when I discovered, to my great horror, the cheating that goes on during matches… Referees taking bribes to favour the bribers in match results… Team managers ‘buying’ players in the opposing side to ‘throw’ matches… Players scoring goals with help of the ‘Hand of God’ infamy…Players taking a dive near goal to fool referees into awarding them a penalty kick; and so on, and so forth…

The Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva recently conducted his official visit to Africa and Tanzania in particular.
His mission, among other things, was to strengthen economic ties between Brazil and African countries, considering a 500-year-historical relationship between the two sides.
The President concluded his African tour last week in South Africa, but the Brazilian team's defeat in the quarter finals of the 2010 World Cup (WOZA 2010) must have been a great disappointment to him. Brazil was tipped by many as possible champions of this year's tournament.
Brazil, like India and China, is strategically positioning herself as a world economic giant.
Political analysts see Da Silva’s tour as his last political gesture towards Africa before his ten-year-presidential term ends early next year.

EA Common Market starts in dribs and drabs, with some areas still parochial... |

YESTERDAY, the regional Common Market finally opened its doors for business among the five member states of the EA Community yesterday: Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania. But, perhaps not unexpected, it has not opened the doors as widely as the liberally-inclined among its members would have liked.
In its broadest sense, a 'common market' implies an economic association of states into a single trading market with little or no restriction of internal movement of individuals, capital, goods, and services – and with a united trading policy towards non-members.
In the light of the foregoing, when it comes to brass tacks, it will be found that each of the five members of the EAC – the cradle of the Common Market – has opened up to the concept only in the areas that it was comfortable with to 'let go!'
