We humans are, to a large extent, responsible for our destruction. Think about it for a moment. Our curiosity, interest to explore the unknown, desire to meet our physiological and material needs, actions to punish those we don’t like, et al. A curse of our human intelligence.➿

@WilliamsRuto I concur. Kenya is maturing with occasional disagreements. I love my country.

@TheRealBBI @governorkibwana Governor, you are correct . It is easy to have structures in place but operationalizing them require conversation and compromise. That is the beauty of democracy. To fix dysfunctional systems or to adapt a new strategy, diverse opinions must be fielded. I love Kenya for this.

Which direction is global warming taking the East Africa region? Increased precipitation or droughts? Or, a mix of the two? Scientists aren’t clear on this. That is why I subscribe to Gaia Hypothesis. Check it out. The earth has a way of self-regeneration.

Kenya’s BBI and the current discourse over its merits reminds me of the limits to democracy in a multiethnic nation. Perhaps some form of authoritarianism is necessary to move a country forward. Remember how and what Ghana was able to achieve under Rawlings?

My son and I wrote and sang this Luo lullaby together. Listen to it at bed time. I promise it will take you to sleep. The script is simple, Oombe (keep quite). A child that cries is mauled by hyena, and one that doesn't cry isn't mauled by a hyena).
