In the larger perspective, the measure of a society is often not how it handles routine policy disagreements but how seriously it treats the loss of human life when those disagreements turn tragic. The policy can be revised, defended, or abandoned. Lives cannot be restored.
There is a democratic principle at stake after the Protests in Nanyuki. We citizens generally expect that when lives are lost during protests, there will be:
A transparent accounting of what happened,
Independent investigation where appropriate,
Accountability of unjustified./2
shooting occurred.
Recognition of the victims as more than statistics.
Whether one supports or opposes the proposed facility, it's reasonable to argue that the deaths deserve attention in their own right. otherwise the debate risks becoming exclusively about governments, courts/3
A single lapse in vigilance is all it takes for Ebola to surge across the republic. Lives are lost in the hundreds. International travel advisories are issued, visas suspended for citizens, and tourists cancel en masse. Businesses falter, layoffs follow, and the economy contracts sharply. The virus soon reaches the schools, forcing their closure and sowing widespread disruption. Months of chaos ensue: elections are postponed, families are shattered, leaving behind orphans and widows.
All of it, born from unforgivable negligence.
@samuelluckhurst Every time Bruno cooks, journalists - especially you start inventing new metrics to avoid giving him credit. Next they’ll tell us goals are ‘context dependent’ too.
@samuelluckhurst Football discourse is finished. A midfielder creates chances, carries the attack, presses nonstop and survives weekly tactical terrorism… and people - you especially still move like he’s a PR experiment. Shame on you!
@DenisKiman67063 When did Criticism Become “Hate”? Government, supporters and commentators led by none other than the president keeps using the word. Increasingly, there is little space Between Dissent and Hostility in Kenya. This is a big problem. That if I criticise Ruto I hate him=inaccurate.
Kenya is standing at a very dangerous edge. The anger is rising faster than the solutions. When leaders stop hearing people and people stop trusting leaders, nations bleed. May we not wait for funerals to realise we needed dialogue. 🇰🇪 #Kenya#RutoMustListen#RejectViolence
The top 5 wealthiest people in the world are:
1. Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX
2. Larry Page: Google
3. Sergey Brin: Google
4. Jeff Bezos: Amazon
5. Mark Zuckerberg: META
What is the most interesting thing you can see about these billionaires?
These are not politicians.
They are not doctors or lawyers.
These are founders.
They founded, own, and invest heavily in technology innovation companies.
Now, if you want to be relevant in the next 10 years, invest your resources in these 5 companies.
This doesn't mean buying shares in them.
It means aligning your skills around these companies.
For example, if you are a carpenter, identify a product or service in these companies, then build an idea around it, and then develop a product or service based on those products or services.
Or, if you are an interior designer, find out how you can borrow an idea from these companies or how you can leverage your skill using the products and services built by these companies.
The era of saying,
"I am going to school because I want to be a lawyer," — is gone.
These traditional careers began losing their grandeur two decades ago.
I am not saying being a lawyer is bad.
What I am saying is that even if you are a lawyer, align your skills and leverage your work with the products and services of companies owned by the top 5 wealthiest individuals.
Why is this so?
Because where the wealthiest people are, that is where the value sits. That is what people want.
These billionaires are not there by accident.
They are there because the world wants what they are selling.
@FabrizioRomano@jessykigen Congratulations to Arsenal fans.
The last time they won the league:
WhatsApp didn’t exist
TikTok didn’t exist
Some current fans were being carried to nursery school 😂🏆

Because Matatu operators are the ones who have called off the strike, Kenyans MUST REFUSE to pay hiked fares. Since they are the ones in dialogue with the government, they should not pass on the cost of their dialogue to innocent, underpaid and overtaxed Kenyans!
What sort of logic is this really? Fuel pricing is a predictable monthly event! Every single month we know the price will be reviewed! Shouldn’t you “protect Kenyans” when conducting the review in the first instance? We are seeing a pattern here where Kasongo throws us pain first then “reconvenes” to give us Panadol.
