Today is the last day of ~160 days that I've spent, on & off, at @thenairobihosp over the last 1/4 of a decade...mostly in I.C.U.
My body feels AWESOME right now. It's taken >15 surgeons & specialist, hundreds of nurses & medical staff to put humpty dumpty back together again.
Nayib Bukele: “There is no State that cannot defeat criminals. If a State does not defeat criminality, it is because the State is complicit.” @nayibbukele
Al-Shabaab militants filmed and circulated footage of an ambush online, Facebook page claiming Mandera belongs to Somalia has shared it. Such propaganda and divisive rhetoric are unacceptable and must be condemned.
The only thing that will end bodas is deliveries done via drone technology.
We're 20 years away, at minimum.
Although, drone deliveries might be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.
It's perturbing to have thousands of spinning rotor blades hovering above you.
There is no solution.
It only gets worse. Nairobi did not allow them into the CBD until a few years ago and now it is madness.
Maybe we reduce their demand via widely available mass transit, or flood the zone with cheap scooters so there is no demand for anyone who pays 😂
India is world's largest coconut producer, producing 20.3 billion coconuts in 2024–25. Imagine the possibilities of turning their shells into sustainable packaging especially for shampoo, body wash and other personal care products. Agropak founded by payal patel offers a promising possibility. She says the patented technology combines coconut shell powder and bamboo fibre to make packaging without plastic coatings or petroleum-derived polymers. If it delivers on durability, affordability and scale, this could be a game changer. #Sustainability #sustainablepackaging
Imagine what we'd be missing if political elites had suppressed uptake of mobile phones just to protect the Kenya Posts and Telecoms landline biz.
Now multiply by 50 to understand the effect of suppressing uptake of solar & eVs via high taxes & stifling regulation.
Kenya Railways Corporation has confirmed a public participation meeting on the proposed Riruta–Ngong MGR Commuter Railway Line, a project with significant implications for Karen and the surrounding areas.
Given the developments and the importance of making our community’s position heard, KLDA will be present at the session, joining residents in objecting to the proposed commuter rail project.
We therefore call upon *all Karen residents and business owners to turn up in large numbers* as we show up, speak up and make our concerns heard. This is an important opportunity to raise questions, present our objections and defend our community’s position.
Date: Thursday, 12th November 2026
Time: 2:00 PM
Venue: ACK St. Francis Church, Karen along Ngong Road (opposite Matteo’s Restaurant )

Senator Edwin Sifuna: The govt has no intention of lowering the cost of electricity; they don’t want to take thermal plants from the grid because they are the ones holding contracts for the supply of diesel to those plants.
I hope you have seen how lucrative countries abroad are making it increasingly difficult for immigrants to work and settle there as time goes by. At this point, we have no option but to make systems work in our own countries.
Ruto campaigns endlessly like a man obsessed with winning the next election....yet governs like someone who couldn't care less about winning the next election.
The dissonance!
Kenya's government is planning to introduce a separate road maintenance levy, on top of the existing fuel levy.
The new levy is intended to help fund road repairs and maintenance as the growing use of electric vehicles reduces revenue collected from fuel sales.
The senate race in the State of Michigan cost Kshs 43.3 BILLION ($336M) in campaign expenditures.
Just one legislative seat in one state.
These are insane numbers considering these are only the transparently declared expenses....there's a lot of 'dark money' that is undeclared.
@moneyacademyKE Ethiopia has more than Thrice the electric vehicles Kenya has, it banned imports of ICE engines, is growing twice as fast, has less than half our debt to GDP yet they charge less road maintenance levies and fuel levies and that's considering they have a larger road network
