I have been getting a lot of questions about applying for the Rhodes Scholarship.
So I wrote about my application process in the blog linked below.
Enjoy reading, tell me what you think, and if I should write about the other stages of the process.

WHAT HAVE WE JUST WITNESSED? ๐คฏ

Yomif Kejelcha was also under two hours for second!
BREAKING VIDEO: Kenyaโs Sabastian Sawe becomes the first person ever to win a regular marathon in under two hours, setting a new world record at the London Marathon in 1:59:30!
Kenyans invented runningโข
I thank His Excellency Antonio Guterres, @antonioguterres the United Nations Secretary General for appointing me as the next Executive Director of United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the Director General of UN office in Vienna @UN_Vienna.
I appreciate the Secretary Generalโs confidence in my ability to steer these two important offices at the Under Secretary General level, at this critical point.
Coming on the eve of the International Womenโs Day, this appointment is demonstrative of the UNSGโs belief in women leadership.
I sincerely thank H.E. President William Ruto @WilliamsRuto for the confidence he bestowed upon me in serving him as his, and the first, National Security Advisor of the Republic of Kenya, as Secretary to the National Security Council, and for enabling me to take this global assignment, demonstrating yet again his belief in Kenya making its contribution to the community of nations.
I look forward to serving at this new mandate diligently and flying Kenyaโs flag high, to the best of my ability.
Thank You Kenya for preparing me to serve humanity!
Hon Raila was the most consequential politician in Kenya in the past three decades. He will be missed at many levels. At the political scene, he left few enemies, some allies and many orphans. To Mama Ida and the kids...poleni. A political giant has rested.

Exactly 4years ago, President Uhuru Kenyatta stepped into Kisumu in a facemask to celebrate the 58th Madaraka Day and left begging for more.
Tomorrow, a brand new set of Luo artistes will attempt to break that record with this just released firecracker.
Do not touch that dial.
Really proud of leaders like @HonKangata and @NdindiNyoro who are changing the narrative so that politicians compete or be celebrated based on their development scorecard. This is the kind of peer pressure that leaders should have. Let each share their initiatives.
Education is the key . New Donholm Secondary Nairobi.
I've been wondering how Babu Owino wins decisively in a multi ethnic urban constituency.
Kumbe, its development; development.
Good work.
Great inspiration ๐
