Dangote ALWAYS wanted to invest in Kenya BIG TIME. But the boys and men who called the shots in Kibaki's and Uhuru's State House wanted crazy equity as kickbacks. Dangote will not put his billions in your country and bribe the thieves in power too. That is why it's commendable that H.E @WilliamsRuto opened the investment door to Dangote and allowed him to put his dollars in Kenya on HIS TERMS.

Mohamud Salat: Kenyans should stop over-relying on third parties when it comes to energy matters.
We need to diversify our energy sources.
A country of our size and caliber should have strategic fuel reserves for times like this, just like Rwanda, China, and the USA

Somalis and Kikuyus are, by culture and practice, business people. Across Kenya and especially in Nairobi they are the foundation of our economy.
The word Somali originates from the phrase "soo maal" which means the obligation to go out and seek sustenance, to hunt, to milk, or to harvest. It is a philosophy of movement and initiative. Among the Kikuyu, the same is captured in "witeithie", meaning the moral duty to fend for oneself, to seek opportunity, to build through effort.
Today, I held constructive and candid discussions with @fazmahal at his office in Nairobi in campany of @DCP_Democracy Deputy Party Leader @Cleophasmalala. Those conversations reinforced a painful truth we must no longer remain silent about: Northern Kenya is the ailing silent patient of our Republic.
The region has been ravaged by underdevelopment, drought, suffering, and entrenched poverty. This tragedy cannot be explained by lack of resources. Since devolution began in 2013, the counties of Mandera, Garissa, Wajir, Marsabit, and Isiolo have received over one trillion shillings in taxpayer money, through national transfers of the equitable share, NG-CDF, equalisation fund, and disbursements from the Kenya Roads Board.
Beyond domestic financing, trillions more have flowed into the region through multilateral development finance institutions, bilateral development partners, United Nations agencies, international NGOs, and other international development partners. Yet, despite this massive inflow of resources, there is no tangible progress to show on the ground.
This is not a failure of the people. It is a failure of leadership and accountability.
Their leaders have treated public office as a private investment vehicle. They spend most of their time in Nairobi, building apartments in every corner of the city, instead of translating public resources into water, roads, schools, and health facilities for their people back at home.
As for me, Rigathi Gachagua, I am a friend of the Somali community. I seek to diagnose the problem this ailing silent patient has endured over the years, challenges rooted in a chronic lack of accountability.
Northern Kenya must not be condemned to further prolonged suffering. To create the possibility of healing, we must confront the leaders with firmness, fairness, and fearlessness. Accountability is not hostility. It is the beginning of recovery.
