The Koko fall-out in Kenya is a cautionary tale. To paraphrase Theodore Roosevelt for Africa:

"Disrupt softly and carry a big stick"

The Koko cookers were heavily subsidized and so was the ethanol. Carbon credits enabled that. The "dirty fuel" of competition couldn't stand a chance.

In Sillicon Valley, they applauded. A new market, technology, potential for massive scale. What not to like?

In impact investors circle, they were also cheering. This was a clear example of capitalism reducing costs for customers (yea!) and CO2. The fuel was meetered. Usage was traceable. CO2 avoidance was credible (arguably).

What they forgot is that it meant the LPG industry was getting disrupted.

LPG is a big business with multiple interests.

Like it's often the case, stakeholders with various agendas (some valid, some self-interested) started coming through with their demands.

The single-point of failure was identified. Leverage positioning changed. You want an LOA, you have to meet our needs...

I am assuming but it probably went like this....

"You want LOA, what's in it for us?"

"We are investing heavily and helping reduce fuel costs to million"

"Yes but what's in it for us?"

"We are investing heavily and helping reduce fuel costs to million"

"Yes but what's in it for us?"

"..."

Disruption is scary. Disruption also opens doors to such conversations...

Would Mobile money have worked if it was not initiated by the TelCos?

Disruption is scary, even at the micro level.

I tried giving affordable loans to farmers in rural cooperatives as part of a small pilot we were doing in my agtech startup days. The first cohort was repaid in full. Farmers were ecstatic and telling all their friends.

As we were gearing up funding to scale the pilot, everything stopped at once.

We later found out the cooperative chairman was also the village moneylender...

Doctors came through when we needed them. We are requesting you for amplification of our plight for posting of medical interns. The last batch of interns have finished and the public healthcare system which serves most Kenyans is gasping.

Rt to create awareness ✅

[Freeman @MulongoThomas1]

Can we have a conversation where by the executive and members of parliament take the responsibility of paying the loan many of them are millionaires imagine if all of them agreed to do that we can have around 1 trillion paid then you can come to us citizens.

Guys follow me

[Wahome Thuku @wahomethuku]

GEN Zs. You are a specific group, defined by age set and nothing else. You are United by similar interests, desires, challenges, aspirations, motivations etc.

Don't allow yourselves to be grouped and asked to appoint leaders into some amorphous committee or commission. Unless you want to be finished or to finish yourselves.

Kwanza who will appoint those representatives? When? Where? How? Will you vote?

Let me tell you why your force has been addressed that fast, its because you have numbers to send anyone home. Don't allow sideshows please. And don't allow anyone to sit there and claim to represent you.

Use your forums to discuss and agree or disagree on the issues you have. You can even invite the entire cabinet to come there and listen ans take notes. You are not holding night meetings and you are not meeting behind closed door or in Naivasha, you are online.

Let them go and deal with those issues the best way they know how. Give them the practical solutions but let them go and discuss them in those committees and solve them.

Remain tribeless, faceless and fearless. Anything else and you are doomed.

The reason the @USEmbassyKenya can't say anything about what's going on is because they're sponsoring the killings. #RutoMustGo

Ruto is a good president and I believe in his vision for this Country. He only needs someone who can advise him to resign.

[Kimuzi @Kimuzi_]

Just reposting this again. Nmewatch nkaskia uchungu fulani mbaya sana.

Why did he order for this to happen?

Ruto anachunga nini ama what's his end goal?

[Freeman @MulongoThomas1]

Whoever paid or advised these guys in Eldoret that was a very bad move, hii ki kuchochea vita. You can't be demonstrating demanding for peace while singing war songs whom a you fooling.
