First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Who is Donald Trump- Find out here

Long before he was a contender for the US presidency, Donald Trump was America’s most famous and colourful billionaire.

Once considered a long shot, Trump is now the next president of the United States.

Scepticism over Trump’s candidacy stemmed not only from his controversial platform on immigration and outrageous campaign style, but from his celebrity past.

But the 70-year-old businessman had the last laugh when he defied all predictions to beat much more seasoned politicians in the Republican primary race.

And he has now gone a step further by winning the presidential election, after one of the most divisive and controversial contests in living memory against Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

Early life

Mr Trump is the fourth child of New York real estate tycoon Fred Trump. Despite the family’s wealth, he was expected to work the lowest-tier jobs within his father’s company and was sent off to a military academy at age 13 when he started misbehaving in school.

He attended the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and became the favourite to succeed his father after his older brother, Fred, chose to become a pilot. Fred Trump died at 43 due to alcoholism, an incident that his brother says led him to avoid alcohol and cigarettes his entire life.

Mr Trump says he got into real estate with a “small” $1m loan from his father before joining the company. He helped manage his father’s extensive portfolio of residential housing projects in the New York City boroughs, and took control of the company – which he renamed the Trump Organization – in 1971.

His father died in 1999. “My father was my inspiration,” Mr Trump said at the time.

The mogul

Mr Trump shifted his family’s business from residential units in Brooklyn and Queens to glitzy Manhattan projects, transforming the rundown Commodore Hotel into the Grand Hyatt and erecting the most famous Trump property, the 68-storey Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. Other properties bearing the famous name followed – Trump Place, Trump World Tower, Trump International Hotel and Tower, and so on. There are Trump Towers in Mumbai, Istanbul and the Philippines.

Mr Trump also developed hotels and casinos, an arm of the business that has led to four bankruptcy filings (for the businesses, not personal bankruptcy).

Mr Trump also built an empire in the entertainment business. From 1996 until 2015, he was an owner in the Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Miss Teen USA beauty pageants. In 2003, he debuted an NBC reality television show called The Apprentice, in which contestants competed for a shot at a management job within Mr Trump’s organisation. He hosted the show for 14 seasons, and claimed in a financial disclosure form that he was paid a total of $213m by the network during the show’s run.

He has written several books, and owns a line of merchandise that sells everything from neckties to bottled water. According to Forbes, his net worth is $3.7bn, though Mr Trump has repeatedly insisted he is worth $10bn.

The husband and father

Trump has been married three times, though his most famous wife was his first – Ivana Zelnickova, a Czech athlete and model. The couple had three children – Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric – before they filed for divorce in 1990. The ensuing court battle made for numerous stories in the tabloid press. Those stories included allegations that Trump was abusive towards Ivana, though she later downplayed the incidents.

He married actress Marla Maples in 1993. They had a daughter named Tiffany together before divorcing in 1999. He married his current wife Melania Knauss, a model, in 2005, and the couple have one son, Barron William Trump.

His children from his first marriage now help run Trump Organization, though he is still chief executive.

The election winner

Mr Trump’s campaign for the presidency was rocked by controversies, including the emergence of a recording from 2005 of him making lewd remarks about women, and claims, including from members of his own party, that he was not fit for office.

But he consistently told his army of supporters that he would defy the opinion polls, which mostly had him trailing Hillary Clinton, and that his presidency would strike a blow against the political establishment and “drain the swamp” in Washington.

He took inspiration from the successful campaign to get Britain out of the European Union, saying he would pull off “Brexit times 10”.

It was something few pundits believed would happen as polling day approached, despite his campaign receiving a late boost from fresh controversy over an FBI investigation into his opponent’s emails.

He will be the first US president never to have held elected office or served in the military, meaning that he has already made history before he is sworn in as America’s 45th president in January. -BBC

National Assembly nowadays is a house of actions say Hon Soipan

More than 50 resolutions out of the hundreds passed in the 11th Parliament have been implemented by the executive.

Implementation committee chairperson Soipan Tuya said adopted committee reports, legislation, and petitions from MPs and the public means the House is no longer a talk-shop.

“Our duty is to ensure the executive acts on the resolutions of the House for the good of the people,” Tuya, who is Narok county woman representative, said in her team's progress report.

The committee serves as the link between the National Assembly and the Executive. Its key role, according to standing orders, is to follow up on the implementation status of resolutions adopted by the House and appraise members.

“It must be noted that these resolutions act as triggers to get the Executive wing of the government to act,” said Tuya.

Among implemented resolutions was the Sh600 million allocation in this year's budget for the operationalisation of the Kenya Police Reservist in arid and semi- arid lands, among them Turkana and West Pokot.

The allocation is expected to review the terms and conditions for KPR officers, who play a key complimentary role to the mainstream security system.

The committee also ensured the allocation of Sh80 million to the livestock insurance policy in 2014/15, Sh300 million for 2015/16 and Sh500 million for the current financial year.

In January, payouts were made in Wajir with 275 farmers from Diff and Butte divisions benefiting to the tune of Sh3.5 million. Zero-rating of animal feeds to enable farmers enjoy higher returns on their investments, as part of reviewing farm gate milk prices, is contained in the current financial year's budget.

Others include the resolution on the National Disaster Management Authority, for which a draft bill has been prepared by the line ministry to establish the body.

Huduma centres and mobile registration units were set up to facilitate the issuance of identity cards to all eligible Kenyans. The National Youth Council is also fully operational following the release of Sh34.2 million and the reduction on the National Hospital Insurance Fund penalty, from 500 per cent to 25 per cent surcharged for late payments.

Tuya said the NHIF has already effected the reduction administratively as it awaits the proposed amendments to the NHIF Act.
