Today in the @Senate_KE, I will substantiate how public money is being hidden and stolen in plain sight through budget lines labelled “Other Operating Expenses.” OVER 90 BILLION!
If salaries, utilities, travel, maintenance, fuel, training, procurable items, and other expenditures already have specific vote heads, what exactly is hidden under this vague and ever-expanding category?
Even more troubling, the Constitution requires parliamentary approval for all public borrowing. Yet billions are spent under opaque budget lines that escape meaningful scrutiny.
Kenyans deserve transparency, not blank cheques for wastage, mismanagement, and theft. Every shilling collected from taxpayers must be traceable, justified, and accounted for.
The era of hiding public funds behind vague budget descriptions must come to an end. STAY TUNED
The High Court suspended NTSA's automated speed cameras & instant fines yet Kenyans are being slammed with KSh 10,000 overspeeding fines on roads with NO signs!
All money funneled to a KCB co-managed account under the 21-yr PPP.
Whose account is it really? Who owns it?
Kenya is one of the poorest countries in the world, with 45.5% of the population living in extreme poverty.
This means close to half of the country's population lived below the international poverty line of $3 a day.
If you want to live more than just one life, read voraciously. Reading lets you live the lives of others.
When you read a book about a physical activity, your brain simulates it as if you were actually doing it.
Neuroscience has shown that reading about running, for instance, engages the motor cortex.
Reading activates the same networks that process real emotions and bodily movements — the characters' experiences feel like your own. In a very real sense, they ARE your own experiences.
Deep reading also alters brain connectivity in a way that persists for days after finishing the book. A good novel physically reshapes parts of your brain.
There's a reason the great men of history read the great men who came before...
"An illiterate person who dies, let us say at my age, has lived one life, whereas I have lived the lives of Napoleon, Caesar, d'Artagnan. So I always encourage young people to read books, because it's an ideal way to develop a great memory and a ravenous multiple personality. And then at the end of your life you have lived countless lives, which is a fabulous privilege."

Laughter is anti-inflammatory. Crying is regulating. Hugging is immunoprotective. Singing is vagal toning. Dancing is neurogenic.
Joy is a biological necessity.

I think about this every day. In the Netherlands, if a person dies alone, without any family or friends as mourners, a poet will be sent to write a poem and read it at the burial service. It's called the Lonely Funeral Project, and it's just humans being good humans.
