Developing a brighter Kenya through integrity, unity and a common vision of development.

[Sir-Rap-A-Lot @Osama_otero]

We need to be careful about that Anti-ATPU agenda in our country. There are people who have been paid to discredit our SOGs and ATPU. This is the 3rd week I am seeing the same trend.

Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) has launched the Kenya Debt Counter, a real-time tool that tracks the country’s public debt.

It updates live and shows local vs external borrowing, giving Kenyans a clear view of the real debt burden.

🚨BREAKING — Balotelli explodes after seeing the official World Cup photo without Cristiano Ronaldo:

“I’ll speak clearly because I’m tired. Tired. How can they make a photo of ‘World Cup teams’ and leave out the greatest player on the planet? What kind of circus is this? This isn’t a mistake… it feels personal.

FIFA doesn’t want Cristiano. Period. They haven’t for years. Look at the history, the strange decisions, the awkward silences. You think it’s normal that in an image with 42 teams they leave out the man who changed the game, broke impossible records, raised football’s level… seriously?”

But we do have both options and everybody still prefers M-pesa.

[Christopher Haslett @CJ_Haslett]

The West isn't going to adopt an inferior payment system.

North Americans pay for nearly everything with cards. It's *much* faster than Mpesa - either swipe or tap. No need to top up either because most people are paid their salaries by direct deposit.

Sadio Mane:

“I want to share a funny incident about the hospitality in Saudi Arabia…

It happened during the month of Ramadan. When it was time for Iftar (breaking the fast), I was out on the street, and some people told me:

‘Come, come eat with us.’

I said to them, ‘You don’t even know me, how can you invite me to your home when you don’t know me?’

They replied, ‘This is normal in Saudi Arabia; everyone helps each other and we gather together.’

They didn’t know I was Sadio Mane, and they didn’t invite me because I’m a player or famous; they just did it because that’s the normal way things are in Saudi Arabia.”
