“The Shamba System has been abused as farmers have been allowed to turn large sections of indigenous forests into farmlands, destroying local biodiversity and greatly reducing the capacity of the forests to be effective water reservoirs.”
- Prof Wangari Maathai (1920-2011)
We are being told how the fuel subsidy has consumed KShs 140 Billion. Nobody is talking about the over KShs 20 Billion which was illegally diverted from the Petroleum Development Fund (PDF).
THREAD 🧵
Now that the government claims to have done away with fuel subsidies why doesn't it stop charging the KShs 5 per litre for the stabilisation mechanism? Is this charge which was purpose specific now being turned into another tax item on fuel?
Good thing with Dr Ndii is that fuel can be Sh2000 a litre but he'll use stats from/studies by CBK, Treasury, Bureau of Statistics, French Revolution, Han Dynasty and Oxfordian Theory to explain to Kenyans that Sh2000 per litre is cheaper than Sh179 -- and we'll agree with him😆
So-called human rights & civil society activists & lawyers who played significant role in fighting MOISM 1.0 between 1992 & 2002 are now fully embracing MOISM 2.0. It wasn’t about ideology or beliefs but the correct purchase price. It is all a charade & political harlotry.
You may excuse unemployed, illiterates & those who never studied our History to be brainwashed to hate Raila Odinga, but when prominent lawyers from marginalized communities are used to mention Baba’s name everyday with so much malevolent hatred, then you know we’ve no Country.
In Ten Years, Turkana County under Governor Josphat Nanok received over Kshs. 200Billion. But there are no schools, no roads, no water, no beds in the few decrepit hospitals & banditry abounds. Yet you won’t hear Raila daily critics condemning the open rape of Turkana County.
Underappreciated phenomenon:
Working at a high-growth, margin-focused startup is a real-life MBA where you get paid six figures plus equity to learn how to build a business instead of paying six figures and going into debt to learn how to build a theoretical one.
Companies have moats, but so do people—five of the strongest ones:
• Low personal burn rate and equity (capital)
• High integrity and authenticity (brand)
• A peaceful mind and fit body (process)
• Helping and connecting others (network)
• Friends and family you love (team)
Someone earns less than a million shillings a month. Becomes a billionaire within five years. Said person has taken zero loans, has manufactured nothing, has inherited zero money, has invented nothing but we will say we have no evidence to prove looting
