Summary
Patrick is probably best known for his expressionist portraits of beautiful African women, some derived from his vivid imagination, others from any number of Kenya’s 43 communities.
But once he got commissioned by the World Agro-Forestry Centre to paint local landscapes in 2013, his impressionist visions of Kenya s natural spaces have won him many more admirers.
Patrick Kinuthia, one of Kenya’s most prolific painters, opened his new Roweinay Gallery in August with little or no fanfare.

Barack Obama, the former President of the United States of America and an inspiration to many across the globe, during his visit to Kenya in July 2015 said: “Around the world, there is a tradition of repressing women and treating them differently, and not giving them the same opportunities. Treating women as second-class citizens is a bad tradition. It holds you back. Imagine if you have a team and you don t let half of the team play. That s stupid. That makes no sense. Evidence shows that communities that give their daughters the same opportunities as their sons are more peaceful, more prosperous, they develop faster and are more likely to succeed.

Former IEBC commissioner Dr Roselyn Akombe has rekindled the online debate on the unresolved murder of the commission’s former ICT manager Chris Msando.
Akombe on Monday took to twitter to eulogise Msando, as a forthright man who was silenced for his standing up for electoral justice.
“Today, you should have turned 48. But you were silenced, for standing up for electoral justice,” she tweeted.
Akombe also assured Msando s family that they will never tire asking the government to bring the killers to book.
