Meanwhile, in Maralal town, Samburu County, Kenya, residents live peacefully alongside wild animals from the surrounding sanctuaries. Zebras can even be seen moving freely around the town!

Interesting video by Katwa on why Rift Valley lakes have been raising. Are his observations correct?

Netizens have been stunned by a video of Kenyans in Taita Taveta casually playing football next to a freely grazing elephant near Lake Jipe.

The judges/magistrates annual performance report which was to be released this month is facing almighty bush back and resistance from judges. The report makes some shocking and unbelievable statistics. It shows a judiciary that is rudderless and in total ruins. Some judges are planning to go to court to stop its release while others are pleading that it be edited or shelved all together.

But do Kenyans really know that the backlog and the total paralysis of the judiciary is just because judges don't work...and are refusing to work. Just check this crazy statistics.

1. A judge of the Supreme Court of Kenya on average sits in court for about 25 days a year. The CJ due to her adminstrative function and travel schedule sits in court less than 15 days a year.

2. Judges of the Court of Appeal, High Court, Environment and Land Court, Employment and Labour Court on average sit in court for 54 days a year.

3. Judges of the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, High Court etc takes 155 days a year on holidays and leave. 45 days in the summer vacation of 1st August to 15 September. 21 days from 22nd December to 14th January. 14 days Easter vacation. 30 days as their Annual vacation. 30 days on court colloquim, workshops, seminars and trainings. 15 days on a average for sick leave and other family emergencies...

4. These courts don't sit on Friday, Saturday(except when appropriately moved by litigants and their lawyers and only on prior arrangements/appointment between them) and Sunday taking away 156 days of the year.

5. Then the judiciary gives Kenyans the lame excuses of shortage of judges, lack of budgetary support, lawyers asking for adjournments etc for the backlog.

6. My fellow countrymen, please understand that the paralysis in the judiciary is just because of lack of leadership and poor work ethics. Rulings/judgments of cases heard and concluded in May are being delivered in November and December. When a judge works for just 54 days a year and galavants for the rest of the days, you can't have a functional judiciary.

6. Unfortunately judicial reforms and judicial accountability is not a priority anymore for @lawsocietykenya but I plead with Chairman of the Senior Counsel Bar Mr. @philip_murgor to led a reform movement that can led to meaningful change, radical surgery and removal of judges who refuse to work...despite the generous terms of service by the Kenyan taxpayer and adequate supplement (by some) through JurisPESA enterprises.

"I had an issue being an African in Africa," says @ASR_Rabiu, Africa's second richest man.

He flew from Lagos to Cape Town for a mining conference, but was turned back at the border.

His visa had expired by one day — and he takes full responsibility for that.

But what stopped him in his tracks was this:

While he waited at immigration for four hours, three flights arrived from Europe. Every single passenger on those flights walked into Cape Town without a visa.

"I had an issue being an African in Africa — being turned away because I did not have a visa, while foreigners from other continents were coming in and were allowed to enter without a visa. This must change."

This isn't just Abdul Samad Rabiu's story. It's the story of African integration in miniature.

The continent has built the frameworks but not the systems, signed the agreements but not delivered the reality.

AfCFTA exists. The African Union exists. The declarations exist.

What doesn't yet exist is a continent where an African businessman can move as freely across African borders as a European tourist.

That gap — between declaration and reality — is the defining challenge of Africa's next decade.

@wearegst Why should we build concrete houses using cement. In Africa weather is great any house will do. Wooden or even tented houses can do. America houses are wooden. Cement is like 5%. Think outside the box people!

President Ruto launched a New Mukuru estate as an affordable housing project. As a student of history let me tell you what will happen in a few months or years. And why this affordable housing programme is nowhere close to the Singapore story.
