The mission? The Universe Is Indifferent So We Have A Duty To Be Kind

There is someone who brags how her entire perfume collection is from stealing from passenger luggage at JKIA.

It saddens me that most of you can't associate the unrest in schools with the current economic dysfunction.

Instead, you suggest cruel measures to "contain the errant children", rather than seeing it for what it is, a reaction to that dysfunction.

It is a pity.

There wasn't much love lost between these two German legends... 🇩🇪

I warned us,Odious debt is biting Kenya very hard. Borrowing for paying of wages and allowances is criminal as per the law. We must audit our debt and Stop the payment of odious debt!

Speeding tickets on roads with no markings, no street lights, no drains, filled with portholes at risk of robbery

Shame on you @ntsa_kenya @KURAroads

Academically qualified guy but with a mind and heart of looting public funds! That is why as a country we will always remain stagnant because of such characters. Instead of using his position to bring change to Nairobians, he used that opportunity to benefit himself at the expense of Nairobians.

[Alphonce Shiundu @Shiundu]

You tax people to get money to build "affordable houses" .

It turns out you can't absorb all the money (because the assumptions behind the levy collided with reality on the ground ).

So you borrow the billions. And then you think of other ways to keep borrowing your own money to do other things instead of building houses. The policy failure plays out on the front pages.

So, collapse your emotions, good or bad about the 2 presidents. This is a masterclass in strategic communications by Cyril Ramaphosa. He doesn't mention Ruto or his decision to bend to the USA on Ebola. He doesn't criticize the decision but instead, expertly demonstrates a better strategy deployed by RSA. He doesn't need to say "We are concerned that Kenya blah blah blah." But with Ruto standing right there he gives case studies of South Africa's pan African response to Ebola - financial investment, sharing expertise and must importantly, protecting those on African soil from the pandemic. The opposite of what Kenya is doing. And he highlighted this contrast emphatically by focusing on what RSA is doing. Nice example for a strategic comms lecturer to use. How do you expose a disagreement without saying "You are wrong and I disapprove of your methods." Nice.

We’re all supposed to pretend this isn’t happening a lot?

How does this make us look to the rest of the world?

[Cyprian, Is Nyakundi @C_NyaKundiH]

Transport CS Davis Chirchir imported an LX600 and a BMW X5 for his daughter last year. This year, he’s added a G-Wagon worth around Ksh. 20 million to the collection, which arrived just about a week ago. How agencies like DCI, EACC and NIS miss this shocks me…

Find time to read this quite astonishingly good piece by
@ArwaM Mahdawi. Brilliant on our government's appalling moral confusion over Gaza

"Why is Hasan Piker ‘not conducive to the public good’? Because on Gaza, we punish the witness, not the crime"

If people all over the world were not dying and suffering because of an orange human being (and a gluttonous American system) this would be parody. I guess for us literatis lost in our own jargon- we can play around with the post-theory of Parody Strikes Back? Parody Bites Back?
