We are a very peculiar people. A majority of us knew Kelvin Kiptum after he broke the world record. But Eliud Kipchoge knew him well, and even predicted that he would break the world record.
This attempt to create enmity between Eliud or his associates with Kiptum is most unfortunate. I say so because the only grounds those peddling such a narrative have is that Eliud did not "congratulate" Kiptum upon him breaking Eliud's record.
But is this true? Of course not. Eliud congratulated Kiptum when the talented Marathoner won the London Marathon.However, he didn't offer congratulations through a post on social media. He did that in an interview. And in an interview before, Eliud said that Kiptum was most likely to break his record. He described Kiptum not only as talented but also as a person with a big heart.
After Kiptum broke Eliud's record, Eliud again in a press conference showered accolades on the young talent. He had spotted Kiptum much earlier, seen his potential and tipped him for greatness. The way he described Kiptum shows that he was not only following his journey closely but was also his fan and cheerleader
Every year, there are more than 6 world major marathons staged. Kipchoge as a rule does not do more than 3 races in a year. His record can be broken in any of these races. How exactly can he prevent people from running and attempting to break his records?
Its a very painful and emotional moment losing Kiptum. Its like a story that had just begun, then death tore the pages all away 😭.
As we mourn this hero, let us not create enmity where we have no evidence that it exists. Let us not be careless with people's reputations, for likes on social media. Today it will be Eliud, tomorrow it might be you.
The most difficult thing for me to do is to confirm the impeachment of a Governor! Ironically if a Governor is impeached, a deputy takes over yet article 179 of the constitution of Kenya ties them at the hip! To be fair all of them should be sent home and voters are asked to elect a new government.

Today, @ACFinKenya & @acfhearo join other stakeholders for #NGOweek2023 & annual NGO sector report 2021/2022 launch whose theme is “NGOs in the frontline: Powering sustainable development in the 21st century”
When people think about #hunger, #water is not always considered yet they go hand in hand. Once we fix water infrastructure, build sanitation structures, and encourage community hygiene, we can ensure that communities are healthy, strong, and protected from waterborne diseases.
Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Let's take a moment to honor the countless contributions that women have made to society, and to commit ourselves to creating a world where equity is the norm.

This man's name used to have the colonisers' bones rattling. He was the highest ranking MauMau leader who hadn't been killed or captured by the time we were granted independence. General Musa Mwariama. Say his name.
@isaacmissoy@kdfinfo@ivanlalaikipian Won't be the first time we're wrongly targeted through discriminatory military actions, yet other tribes own more guns than we do. We Shall Over Come.
If you're in a super hot region and you feel like it has never gotten to that point before, please share a photo and let's see how far climate change has gone.
We want to see something..
