Ogola is on a mission to create sustainable prosperity and has opened a state-of-the-art hospital in the impoverished community of Kibera, where he was reared as a boy, launched a “Youth Friendly Center” where high school students can study computer skills or trades such as sewing, and is constructing a “Smart Center” where adults can learn to read or study agricultural techniques.

  1. I have a question for the media as the assault
    on contraceptives for women is being waged by a overwhelmingly male Congress. Are our taxpayer
    dollars being used to pay for their Viagra for the
    old men in Congress ?

  2. Man, March could be a really rough month for
    CNN. For the 1st day of March, MSNBC looks
    strong. Check out the ratings on TV Newser.
    Rachel Maddow could have a really big month.
    She got more than 400 thousand in the demo.

  3. The decision to have nothing but pundits for
    politics on 360 is hurting the show. Where are
    the real reporters ? As a result The Last Word is
    now topping 360 in 18-34 year olds. Only CNN
    would mess up their best show. I have taken it
    off the DVR. If 360 is all about pundits. I don't
    care to watch the show. I don't watch 360 for
    pundits. 360 used to be different . I can't take
    the doggone pundits anymore. I'm mad at 360
    so I am not watching for awhile. Originally Raw
    Politics worked when it was Tom Foreman, John
    King, Joe Johns & Candy Crowley. Why were they
    booted off of 360 in favor of annoying talk ?

  4. There is a very high stakes game being played and
    CNN is not a major player. It is game on between
    MSNBC & FNC. Adjustments are being made at
    FNC to battle MSNBC. FNC is adding a 5 AM hour
    and a change is coming to dayside. Neither is
    concerned with CNN. On Thursday, Morning Joe,
    The Last Word & Rachel Maddow were close in the
    demo. The dayside change at CNN won't matter.
    The battle is between FNC & MSNBC. CNN defaulted
    with Starting Point and Out Front. CNN needs to
    get itself together. It might already be too late.

  5. The Kaj Larsen report on Narco Wars is what
    CNN needs to do more of. I do have 1 criticism.
    Why not let the reporters front their stories. It
    just does not work with hosts. It slows the show
    down. It should be more like Discovery. Just move
    from 1 story to the next.

  6. You know how CNN has those little gadgets they give a room full of uncommitted voters during a debate to gauge their reactions to each candidate? And then during breaks the correspondent asks them questions about their reactions and how they are feeling towards each candidate. They should do the same thing to themselves, I believe they are really out of touch on what their viewers would like to see.

  7. CNN needs to hire Aisha Tyler. Rachel is rising
    and that means TLW will go up as well. I'll bet
    that Rachel's increase in viewership is due to
    female viewers, who cable news largely ignores.
    She comes across as smart but entertaining. She
    has been talking about reproductive rights for
    quite some time. She is right only a man would
    thing birth control pills are only used to prevent
    pregnancy. Maybe now that Rush has apologized,
    maybe CNN will wake up. Women are the majority
    of Americans, voters and shoppers. Even if dad
    goes to the store he buys the brands that mom
    wants. Advertisers realize this and most will not
    come back to Rush because they will hear it
    from their wives and daughters.
