If you put KES 1 million in a fixed deposit earning 10%, you'd make KES 100,000 in a year. If you invested the same amount in Safaricom at KES 29.10 on 7 Jan 2026, you'd earn KES 68,728 in dividends.

Countries with retrogressive visa policies should not be allowed to host global tournaments.
The Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan was reportedly denied entry into the US despite having a valid visa, meaning he will miss his World Cup debut as the first Somali official at the tournament. That alone tells you how broken this hosting model is.
You cannot invite the world to your country, collect tournament glory, collect tourism money, collect broadcast attention, then humiliate qualified officials and participants at the border.
Even the extortionist visa system at the US Embassy in Nairobi should be condemned. Kenyans pay money, fill forms, queue, wait for months, then someone rejects them in two minutes and keeps the money.
If your visa policy treats Africans like suspects and ATMs, you have no business hosting the world.
In the parlance of counterterrorism, “links to suspected terrorist” is the weakest designation. It could be the referee was at a party or event that was being surveilled because of other attendees. It means nothing.
BREAKING: Trump administration claims the Somali referee was denied entry because he is a security threat to the US with links to suspected terrorists. He was questioned for 11 hours, including about Al Shabab
Omar Abdulkadir Artan just landed back in Somalia to a hero's welcome

Every teacher should take time to understand different learning difficulties that students face. As much as they are learnt in the university, there is more information out here on accomodation strategies for students with such difficulties.
On my way to Dar es Salaam on 15th February 2026 I was denied exit out of Kenya at Lunga Lunga border by Immigration department due to a Red Notice issued against my passport around Jan/Feb 2025 by one Michael Sang of DCI - Serious Crimes Unit at Mazingira House on Kiambu Road.
