My thinking is that the Kenya Cup and Uganda Cup should feed into the Enterprise Cup, just like the old regional series in Kenya. Kenya could select players region by region, mixing the best talent from different clubs. For example, MMUST, Kabras and Kisumu could form one team, while KCB, Strathmore and KU could form another. Uganda could do the same, combining players from Hippos, Walukuba Sharks, Kobs and other clubs. That way, we get the best players from both countries competing together, raising the standard of the Enterprise Cup and creating a stronger pathway for national team selection.
Hio enterprise cup ndio inafaa kuwa super series same to ugandan side @HipposFans two teams from uganda 4 teams from kenya if there's no cooperation from uganda then 6 teams from kenya we should see the best of the best rugby,
The HSBC 2 is such a lucrative event in terms of marketing. KRU should use this single event as leverage to get a title sponsor for the Kenya Cup and Enterprise Cup.
As someone who has spent years trying to create a dignified market for Kenyan developers, I think we should be celebrating founders who are building their own products using AI.
Look at what Mbiti has done with Aluta. Why should he spend KSh 500,000 or even KSh 3 million hiring developers to build something he hasn't validated? Having a working product doesn't guarantee sales. Many of us have built technically brilliant applications that nobody wanted to pay for. By building it himself, Mbiti has saved money that he can now spend on marketing, acquiring customers and validating the business.
And what many devs don't seem to get is that if Aluta succeeds, Mbiti will eventually face technical challenges that require experienced engineers. But instead of asking investors for KSh 10 million to build an untested idea, he can now say, "We have 10,000 paying customers, our infrastructure can't keep up, and I need KSh 10 million to hire engineers who can help us scale and cut server costs by 50%." That's a much better problem to have, and a more compelling case for investment.
I think developers need to appreciate this. Let founders who understand their markets validate their ideas as cheaply as possible. Our opportunity comes when those ideas succeed and need SERIOUS ENGINEERING EXPERTISE
Mimi hapa, I'm positioning Reduzer to support founders like Mbiti and Kairo as they grow. Because one successful founder could end up creating two or three dignified, well-paying jobs for Kenyan developers for years.

Hapo kwa Affordable Housing, Sifuna anajishikisha handball. Population ya kulipia hizo ufala ata huwa haifiki mita mbili but population inategemea hizo projects ni double that.
Twice now, at the unveiling of TEP and during last Fridayโs media interview, Edwin Sifuna has shared our experts view, that achieving a balanced budget within the first 15 months of his presidency is possible. The experts are working on a roadmap to make this a reality. In simple terms, a balanced budget will mean a government living within its means.
If we can realistically collect 100 bob, we should plan to spend 100 bob. We cannot budget as though we will collect 150 bob, based on overly optimistic revenue projections, then borrow beyond what we had planned when the actual revenue falls short.
As Sifuna has outlined, the way to achieve a balanced budget is by cutting wastage, curbing corruption and prioritising what matters, not piling more taxes on an already struggling mwananchi.
What would this mean for ordinary mwananchi?
When government borrows less from local banks, it leaves more money available for businesses and ordinary Kenyans. Banks would have a stronger incentive to compete for these customers with more appealing loan packages. This could make borrowing more affordable, helping businesses expand, create jobs and ease pressure on household budgets.
Remember how during Mwai Kibakiโs presidency, banks became increasingly eager to lend to ordinary mwananchi? We used to call it hawking loans. Reduced government borrowing, lower interest rates and economic reforms helped create room for more lending to businesses and households.
That is the future we want for our country, where businesses thrive, mwananchi can access affordable credit and we gradually ease the burden of debt.
And that ladies and gentlemen is part of the agenda, alongside restoring constitutionalism and the rule of law, rescuing our healthcare system and fixing our education sector.
