Mogadishu is not as underdeveloped as people think.
They have rapid fast internet, multi specialty hospitals that even cath labs and great restaurants.
Somalia needs to play "catch up growth" by finding oil. This is the only way to overtake in per capita terms.
I have to commend the President on this one. He has actually lived up to his word.
Back in 2022 he told us he would expose the political conmen and kept saying most of these guys were clueless. What we are witnessing today is exactly that.
People who abused him with all manner of words, laughed at Bottom Up as complete nonsense and even promised to jail him if they got into power are today some of his biggest bootlickers. The same people who apparently stood with the ordinary mwananchi and spoke for those at the bottom are now singing praise and worship to the very man they told us was the problem.
The gullible citizens made it even better. They praised them, defended them and gave them all manner of titles, warriors, heroes and defenders of the people. Today some of those same warriors have conveniently discovered that the man they spent years fighting is actually their new best friend.
This is why I keep telling Kenyans to be very careful whom you elect. Most of these politicians have their own interests at heart. Today they will convince you they are fighting for you, tomorrow a seat at the table appears and suddenly all those principles disappear.
The funniest part is the 527/- gang now praising some of these political orphans who have been adopted by the boss. I really hope they understand the man they are dealing with. He never forgets.
The boss also knows exactly what he has taken on. He knows some can hardly keep up with his pace and energy, and he certainly knows the liabilities he has adopted. They may think they have finally arrived, but I suspect it is simply a matter of time before some of them discover why the chef brought them into his kitchen in the first place.
It is what it is.
E is most likely the black sheep in the family. Utapata such guys in clubs like K1 in Westlands or in joints in Nairobi West. They have a well pimped car and always bag baddies. Their money never ends.

Ahhh, what different outcomes! That is the nature of life. Your life may or may not have turned out how you dreamt it would, however...
It is always the FAT man in the supermarket queue with a large bottle of soda in his shopping basket and an envelope of omeprazole in his pocket.
UNFAT.

Kenya ripe for a demographic dividend?
