Corporate life will teach you that knowing the job is only half the battle.
The real skill is staying calm in meetings, reading the room, managing ego, receiving vague feedback, and not replying emails with your real thoughts.
There is no fuel crisis in Kenya. What we are witnessing is the unbearable cost of theft. The burden of corruption has become too heavy for the ordinary mwananchi to carry.
The same politicians who masquerade as liberators of the people would rather watch Kenyans suffer, sink deeper into poverty, and struggle to survive while they loot public funds meant to provide relief in moments like this. They would rather funnel money into offshore accounts and buy overpriced properties in global capitals than stand with the mama mbogas, bodas, hustlas who believed in the dream they sold and gave them power.
And Parliament, sits in silence. MPs lament on television and social media as though they are helpless spectators, yet they possess the constitutional power to legislate, provide oversight, and shield wananchi from exploitation. Their silence has a price and that price has been paid by public funds at the expense of Wanjiku.
It took 93 years to admit PCOS isn't just cysts, it’s a full metabolic failure.
We’ve been gaslit, handed birth control pills, and told to "just lose weight" while fighting chronic insulin resistance from the inside.
Women’s health is still treated as an afterthought. We deserve better.
When there are visitors to impress, we have money. We have determination. We have speed.
When it’s just for ourselves, we have constraints, restrictions and excuses.
I don't think some of you here even have the historical range to conceptualize the amount of havoc France has caused in Africa since 1830. Nyinyi range yenyu inaishianga kwa Ruto na Netanyahu
The reports that Kenya Power and Lighting Company is deducting up to 50% of token purchases to recover “Last Mile” connection loans are disturbing.
Imagine buying KSh 1,000 worth of tokens and only receiving KSh 500 worth of electricity.
But here’s the bigger question I’d like answered:
Are these deductions being imposed on tenants too, even though they do not own the houses or the connection infrastructure?
If the answer is yes, then that exposes a serious legal and policy gap because tenants are being forced to repay for assets they do not own and may never benefit from in the long term.
At what point does cost recovery become exploitation?
No wonder more Kenyans are now seriously considering solar.
This needs urgent scrutiny.
It's that time, after years, when your favourite long-lost Kenyan politician will be camouflaged among the general masses. They will be in churches, they will click glasses to cheer citizens, they will be in vibanda, & the ONE will be crying openly. Do not fall for this facade.
