Tommorow, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will resign and he is to outline a timetable for his departure.

He is to explain, amongs other things, what happened with £100 million (Ksh 17.7 billion) the UK directly gave Kenya.

And the Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA), which has also expired. BATUK keeps on operating on a system of impunity.

Also, why UK-Kenya Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) faces heavy domestic criticism for locking Kenya into a neo-colonial trade dynamic

I'm trying to imagine my mother being shown a video of me being beaten by my woman for cheating, while she's asking me, "Kwani hautosheki?"

Then my mother pauses the video, removes her glasses, rewinds it, and watches it again just to confirm that the man receiving "ngundi" like free government fertilizer is indeed her son.

Now imagine my friends visiting me in hospital.

Not because I was robbed.
Not because I was involved in an accident.

But because I was beaten for cheating.

"Pole sana bro."

"How many stitches?"

"One woman or a coalition government?"

The worst part is explaining how I got the injuries.

Doctor: "What happened?"
Me: "Domestic misunderstanding."
Doctor: "Who won?"
Me: "...she did."

At that point even the village elders will refuse to hear my case.

Where will I bury my head?

Not in sand.
Not underground.

I will need a whole quarry to disappear permanently.

Nairobi was asleep when the call came, and so was James Kanyotu’s Special Branch. It was past midnight. At the residence of Bill Mosebey, America’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) chief in Kenya, the gate had already been opened. Inside, drinks had been poured, and a man from what would only be described as a “friendly, but unnamed, intelligence service” was waiting.

Jack Kassinger, then a regional support officer in Nairobi, had been summoned without ceremony. Read more: https://t.co/fi3b2qdc1x

A majority of Kenyans have continued to extend their hands to support Joel, an American passport holder and former US Navy worker who’s now stranded in Malindi. He was allegedly defrauded of over Ksh 80 million by his Kenyan partner Martha.

After selling his Ksh 100 million house in Dublin for a comfortable retirement, Joel bought property with Martha but now faces a demand letter from her lawyer ordering him to vacate the house until the court decides the case. Joel risks being evicted and is currently homeless, penniless, and relying on well-wishers.

A member of the Rotary Club of Malindi has offered him unlimited accommodation, and we’re grateful to the “Father of Dogs” for his legal guidance and for standing with Joel physically in court.

This case highlights a painful reality at the Kenyan coast where foreigners lose their lifetime’s savings to fake relationships and get stranded in a foreign land. Joel lost everything he built in just 4 months. We pray the U.S. Embassy Nairobi steps in to help one of their own.

The ongoing case is scheduled for Wednesday next week in Malindi, and we urge anyone who can to show up and support humanity. Aki huyo mzungu anakiona kweli…

Michelle Obama had a problem.
She was standing in Buckingham Palace, about to sit down to a state dinner hosted by Queen Elizabeth II — one of the most formally dressed women in the world, wearing jewels that had adorned British royalty for centuries — and the gift she had brought was a $50 brooch from an antique shop in Washington D.C.
It was May 2011. President Barack Obama and the First Lady were on a state visit to the United Kingdom — only the second time in history a sitting American president had been granted that honor. The palace had pulled out all the stops. Chandeliers blazing. Footmen in livery. The Queen in full regalia, diamonds catching the light.
And Michelle's gift was a small moss agate brooch from a vintage store called Tiny Jewel Box.
Barack Obama would later recall the moment with a smile. "The Queen was dressed up quite a bit for the state dinner," he said. "It was a little bit concerning for Michelle, because as a gift to Her Majesty, Michelle had selected a small, modest brooch of nominal value."

The brooch was beautiful, in its quiet way. Made in 1950 in America, crafted in fourteen-karat yellow gold, set with diamonds and pale green moss agate in the shape of a small flower. Delicate. Personal. The kind of thing you find when you're not looking for something grand — when you're just looking for something true.
Michelle presented it to the Queen that evening, alongside the official state gift — a carefully assembled album of photographs and memorabilia from King George VI and Queen Elizabeth's historic 1939 visit to the United States, something the Queen was said to have been visibly moved by as she turned the pages.
But it was the little brooch that told a different story.
The following evening, the Obamas hosted their own reciprocal dinner at Winfield House — the official residence of the American Ambassador in London. It was a room full of heads of state and royalty, an evening of its own formality and grandeur. The Queen arrived.
And on her lapel, she was wearing Michelle's brooch.
Not one of her legendary pieces. Not a diamond parure gifted by a Commonwealth nation or a sapphire set that had passed through generations of the royal family. The small American flower from a Washington antique shop — worn the very next night, in front of everyone.
Obama said: "The one thing we immediately noticed is that she was wearing the brooch that Michelle had given her. It was an example of the subtle thoughtfulness that she consistently displayed. Not just to us, but to everybody who she interacted with."

The Queen understood something that is easy to forget in rooms full of expensive things: the value of a gift has nothing to do with its price. It has everything to do with what it says. That brooch said — I chose this for you. I thought of you when I saw it. I wanted you to have something made by American hands, something personal, something that wasn't pulled from a state inventory.
The Queen heard every word of it.
She kept the brooch. It became known in royal circles as the American State Visit Brooch, and it appeared on her again on notable occasions over the years — a quiet signal, each time, of the warmth she carried for the people who had given it.
The exchange, it turned out, went both ways. The Queen gave Michelle a gift of her own that visit — an antique brooch of red coral and gold, shaped like a rose. Two women, surrounded by all the machinery of state protocol, quietly giving each other flowers.
When Queen Elizabeth died in September 2022, Barack Obama released a video tribute. He talked about how she reminded him of his grandmother — the same wry humor, the same no-nonsense grace, the same ability to make everyone around her feel genuinely seen. And he told the brooch story. The $50 antique. The state dinner. The moment the next evening when they walked in and saw her wearing it.
"She could not have been more kind or thoughtful to me and Michelle," he said.
Queen Elizabeth II owned jewels that belonged to empires. Pieces that had passed through the hands of kings and queens across centuries of history. Stones worth more than most people will ever see in a lifetime.
And when she wanted to tell someone that their gift had mattered — that the thought behind it had reached her — she pinned a small moss agate flower to her lapel and walked into the room.
That is the kind of person she was.
Kindness, when it comes from a genuine place, doesn't need to be expensive.
It just needs to be worn.

@KijanayaKabras RIP Ngei and your dear wife

[KYK 🇰🇪 @KijanayaKabras]

🚨 Makindu Motors founder Stephen Ngei Musyoka and his wife died in a road accident on the Mombasa-Nairobi Highway. Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse confirmed the deaths, saying he received the news with shock and disbelief.

Before starting Makindu Motors, Ngei was a paraffin vendor who hawked second-hand underwear and jewels in bars along the highway to make ends meet.
He later used his profits to sell second-hand bicycles to teachers on credit, since they were the only civil servants who could access loans at the time. Teachers became his most reliable customers because they paid in full.

With Sh1.6 million in savings, Ngei imported 25 new motorcycles from Dubai, selling 23 on credit and 2 for cash. Demand grew and the company scaled to 50 bikes.
Makindu Motors got its big break in 2004 at a Chinese trade fair in Nairobi, landing a dealership deal with SkyGo to supply motorcycles across Kenya.

More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.
