Man what have I just watched? I believe Jacob Juma MUST have been killed because of the Eurobond question. See for yourselves how Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto messed up this country immediately after signing into law the ammended Public Finance Management Act. The first Eurobond, $2B (Ksh 200B that time), only Ksh 60B was spent on Thika Superhighway. Ksh 140B disappeared and they even called a press conference to call those asking questions, "Wajinga." At the end of the clip, there is something @OkiyaOmtatah is saying that you also need to listen to.
Elon Musk went from $180 million to broke in 2008. Then NASA called with a $1.5 billion contract.
After PayPal, Elonโs share was $180 million. He bet all of it on two companies everyone said would fail: Tesla and SpaceX.
By 2008 he was 37, and everything was going wrong at once.
SpaceX had launched three rockets. All three failed to reach orbit.
Teslaโs first car, the original Roadster, had quality problems. The factory was full of cars that couldnโt be delivered. Every month cost tens of millions.
The economy collapsed into the worst recession since the Great Depression.
And, as he put it, he was getting divorced, by the way, to add to that. That was definitely the worst year of my life.
His fortune was gone. When Tesla called investors for money, some cursed at them and hung up. Asked if he was broke, he said: more than broke.
On the Sunday before Christmas he woke up and thought he was closer to a nervous breakdown than he had ever been.
SpaceX had money for one more launch. A fourth failure would have been game over.
Flight four worked.
The week of Christmas, NASA called with a $1.5 billion contract. Elon blurted out: I love you guys.
Two days later, on Christmas Eve, Teslaโs investors agreed to put in more money.
Both companies were saved within three days.
In the middle of all this he met Talulah Riley. They were engaged after about two weeks. She was 22 and walked into a house with his five young sons.
This week Tesla unveiled a new Roadster. The car that almost ended him in 2008 now flips in midair.
Would you have bet everything twice?

.@AAGMcDonald gives an update on Operation Ghostbusters, a nationwide investigation into federal student loan fraud:
"Today, we are announcing charges against five defendants and the seizure of more than $750,000 in cryptocurrency tied to this scheme, and laundered through a network associated with Kenyan nationals... Whether youโre in Nebraska, New Jersey, Virginia, or Nairobi, we will pursue you and bring you to justice. The American people deserve better than ghost students, fake applications, and stolen aid."
@MigunaMiguna It is a direct political declaration of war against the Kasongo project n everything it represents.
Any other arrangement is a distraction, noise n surrender!

Rigathi Gachagua @rigathi: How foolish does William Ruto think Kenyans are? You are telling people that there will be free education in January, yet in October, two months before January, he is unable to pay the lecturers.

Riggy GโSifuna joint ticket is not a suggestion.
Itโs the political equivalent of a wrecking ball aimed straight at the gates of State House if he dares try any monkey biz. No begging, negotiations or playing nice. Just pure, unfiltered rejection of the entire Kasongo project!
