Abagusii could do head surgery before modern medicine, and the chances of survival and healing were 90%+. The surgeon with his team could even take a break to take some busaa before proceeding with the procedure. Epic!

Let me Roast Hizi ma embassy za Kifala !

The other day I applied for a visa to a certain country called Canada 🍁 — I think that’s the place President Trump once jokingly referred to as the 51st State. 🤣

The purpose of the trip was simple: drop off my brother’s children who are currently spending their summer holiday in Kenya.

Then came the biometrics request.

Unfortunately, my schedule within those 30 days was packed. I had two international business trips to China, factory visits, meetings, and production commitments. I simply couldn’t fit it in.

Then boom — the refusal letter arrived.

Honestly, I laughed.

Sometimes the visa process feels like a very sophisticated system for collecting application fees and then generating creative reasons for rejection.

Dear Visa Officer,

My passport probably has more entry and exit stamps than many applications that cross your desk in a month. The application itself listed visits to multiple first-world countries without a single overstay issue.

Secondly, I am not a backpacker looking for greener pastures.

I am an entrepreneur running manufacturing operations, retail businesses, and projects that support over 200 livelihoods. My daily responsibility is ensuring factories run, salaries are paid, and customers are served.

The notion that I would abandon all that to disappear into Canada and start hiding somewhere in a basement is an illusion that exists only in the imagination of the visa officer.

The irony is that many of us travel because business demands it, not because we are looking for an escape route.

Anyway, life goes on.

The factories are still running.
The workers still need their salaries.
The customers still need their products.

Canada some of us are what your country need as investors not pay check chase !

Very interesting article, especially for people who have followed SEO and search for years.

Google is almost starting afresh with AI search, and in many ways it feels like we are back in the early 2000s, where anyone who understands content, authority signals and information gaps can shape what the machine says.

This is crazy disruption because the old SEO game was about ranking links, but the new game is about influencing answers directly.

If you get time, read the article.

Your Excellency President @WilliamsRuto , everyone says Wicknell Chivayo is a Conman, a fraudster & a Criminal .. Why have you allowed him unimpeded access? Why is he given unrestricted access to our country? How can he openly give money to our airport employees? How does our country benefit from a known criminal? How can we compromise our national security & prestige to such man of dubious reputation?

Wadosi Wakenya Wote, I come in Peace and humility.

The vote for the Finance Bill happened yesterday; disappointingly, I was not in Parliament. I travelled out of the Country on Wednesday evening for engagements that could not have been postponed. But no explanation should absolve the blame.

As for the feedback we have received from all Kenyans, we take it with humility. All the feedback will go a long way in making us better as we discharge our duties in Parliament and outside as we serve the great people of Kenya.

We have always been available and forthright in debating both the Appropriations Bill and the Finance Bill on the committee and on the floor of the house as a commitment to giving a different and alternative view. This has also been an important platform of informing Kenyans on the things that affect them, the businesses, investment decisions and the Economy in general.

Whereas this is important, we also must acknowledge the fact that Parliament is in an unprecedented phase where both the Majority and the Minority leadership are on the same side thereby making it difficult to effectively act as an institution of oversight. That’s why we choose to do it both inside and outside.

On the proposals we had on reducing fuel prices, we had the opportunity to appear before the relevant committees. Unfortunately, the Finance Committee did not include the proposals in their final report. The alternative that was left was that of initiating a private member bill. However, this was deemed as a “Money Bill” and could not be carried as an amendment in the Finance Bill on the Floor. It had to take its own course. The guidance from relevant offices in parliament was that we initiate the process after the Finance bill process since most officers of parliament and especially the Parliament Budget Office were engaged in the process of Finance Bill and Appropriations Bill.

The process will now continue on a different path.

I have taken time to read the feedback from Kenyans and it is clear that; we carry an immense responsibility that we should always live up to.

We are glad that together, we have achieved many things through debate, talking about them in forums & media and sharing information. To cite just two;

In December, we were able to speak forthrightly about the plan to hike School Fees for Day Secondary Schools. The plan was shelved, not by the involvement of Parliament; but by the government knowing that Kenyans were aware.

Earlier this year, we took up the issue of the 15% GoK sale of Safaricom shares. While the majority of numbers prevailed in Parliament, the Judiciary sided with our view and money has never changed hands. The sale has never been effected.

We have taken it upon ourselves to tabulate, collate and analyse Economic related information which we always quietly and gladly share with leaders both in Parliament and outside for better oversight and alternative viewpoints.

Personal comfort would call for us to be quiet at critical moments, but it is unpatriotic to seek comfort over what is right.

As human as we are, we are far from being perfect and we will always seek to learn from the feedback we receive.

Asanteni sana.

We are African and Africa is our Business.

This morning, I had the honor of officially flagging off a new fleet of UMOWA Public Service Vehicles, a significant milestone in our efforts to support the business community and strengthen the transport sector.

The new fleet of 10 mini-bus matatus will enhance connectivity, improve service delivery, create employment opportunities, and contribute to the county’s economic growth. By investing in efficient and reliable transport, we are opening up more opportunities for trade, commerce, and mobility for our residents.

My administration remains dedicated to creating an enabling environment that supports enterprise growth and drives sustainable development across the county.

Machakos is the place to invest!
