My neighbour, a professor, was unhappy his daughter did not qualify to join university; and he asked me to persuade her to repeat Form 4.

"I will not read my speech because it is shameful for the government. “I'm embarrassed to stand here in front of you people to be reminded of what we should have done many years ago,” Mr Kenyatta said. This is courage under "failure"....@WehliyeMohamed@DonaldBKipkorir
If you’ve been blessed with more, give; extend a helping hand. Avoid lending. If you do lend, don't expect it back. That’s the way of the world now. If it comes back, it's a bonus. If it doesn't, you expected it. Remember, your reward’s with the Almighty, the Owner of Sustenance.

'There is no escape': Nairobi's air pollution sparks Africa health warning https://t.co/UIMz9BKAXa Nairobi is one of the most polluted cities in the world and Shisha isn’t to blame. I don’t smoke but I believe CS health is overstepping his mandate. Focus on the REAL pollutants!
The angst over kids not getting into university speaks to how KE education has become a search for papers, rather than true learning which opens many doors at many different levels. Shouldn't we perhaps interrogate our all-roads-lead-to-university model of schooling?
