Ken Echesa:The more we nationalise our politics and concentrate on who becomes president, the more we lose focus on our county governments.

@ItsMainaKageni Politics rewards crooks but punishes good deeds. With or without defections,the real winners are politicians, who are able to capture and manipulate the emotions of the voter to their advantage and to the voter's disadvantage.
@BoboWamboiKuria@OwidiOdoyo '92 & '97. Needless to say, tribalism hurts ordinary folks more than they benefit from it. It immensely benefits politicians.

Watch this ordinary plastic bottle get absolutely crushed by nothing but water.
At just 33 feet, the pressure doubles (2 atmospheres total), squeezing the air inside to half its volume.
By 66 feet? It’s a twisted, mangled shell of its former self.
Pressure and volume of a gas are inversely related: at constant temperature. As the weight of the water above increases, the trapped air has nowhere to go but smaller.
The ocean isn’t just deep: it’s heavy.
Nature’s invisible hydraulic press is no joke.
(The bottle often pops back into shape on the way up. Same law, opposite direction.)

Wangari Maathai was the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. She started the Green Belt Movement to counter deforestation and mobilise African women to think sustainably.
“Throughout Africa, women are the primary caretakers, holding significant responsibility for tilling the land and feeding their families. As a result, they are often the first to become aware of environmental damage as resources become scarce and incapable of sustaining their families,” she explained in her Nobel Prize lecture.
“The women we worked with recounted that unlike in the past, they were unable to meet their basic needs. This was due to the degradation of their immediate environment. […] I came to understand that when the environment is destroyed, plundered or mismanaged, we undermine our quality of life and that of future generations.”
Maathai thought of the idea for the Green Belt Movement in 1976 when she was serving in the National Council of Women. She floated the idea of groups of women planting trees to conserve the environment and meet the basic needs identified by women.
It grew into a broader movement to improve people’s quality of life and promote democracy, women’s rights and international solidarity. It spread to other African countries.
“So, together, we have planted over 30 million trees that provide fuel, food, shelter, and income to support their children’s education and household needs. The activity also creates employment and improves soils and watersheds. Through their involvement, women gain some degree of power over their lives, especially their social and economic position and relevance in the family.”

@Eastleighvoice She should direct her anger towards the govt for failing to clear debts owed to hospitals to avoid a putting hospitals in a situation where they have to choose btn saving lives and the life of their hospitals.
@Thuranira_1 Nop! Everyone will enjoy the 0% tax for the first 30k of their salary then the rest of the amount is subjected to further taxation based on the subsequent bands.
@MakauWaMuli Desperation knows no logic! Those who are siphoning the fuel are doing it simply coz they've no choice while those who are judging them are doing so coz they've plentiful of choices.
It is obvious Kenya will benefit from opening up the Sale of GoK 15% Safaricom Stake to an International bid. But GoK is very keen to accept an inferior offer that is sub optimal.
The language of "Market Price" is the language of a buyer, not a seller.
NCBA shares were trading below Ksh 70 before the initial information of an imminent transaction. The transaction price from NedBank is Ksh 102. The parties knew what the share price was but they went for the value.
EABL shares are currently trading at Ksh 244 in the market, but Diageo is selling their 65% stake in the same company to a Japanese Company, Asahi for at Ksh 590 per share.
Rea Vipingo was trading at Ksh 27.5 in the market, but it was bought out at Ksh 85.
Only self interest can cloud the correct judgement and decision from being made and executed. Kenya deserves better.
We are African and Africa is our Business..
Elon Musk: At this point, education is mostly a social experience. You don’t actually need school to learn anymore. With AI, you can learn just as much—or more—on your phone at home. School is becoming less about knowledge and more about being around people your own age.
People should go to school today mainly for the social side of it. The learning itself? AI can already do that better. Conventional schooling could be vastly improved, and individualized AI teachers will outperform the one-size-fits-all classroom.
Education doesn’t need to happen in a building anymore. You could learn everything at home on your phone. Kids go to school to hang out, build social skills, and experience a coming-of-age—not because it’s the most effective way to learn.
School today functions as a social filter, not a learning engine. AI handles the learning better. Humans still go to school for friendships, relationships, leadership, confidence, and real-world social development.
@HonAdenDuale Why not post on what the govt is doing to raise more revenue to fund its operations?! Foreign aid shouldn't be part of your thinking and planning as a minister! Over-reliance on external aid must end.
@_James041 The govt is the symptom, and Kenyans are the disease! Don't blame the govt but be harder on yourself coz we love and vote for the worst characters!
@Honcalebamisi He is fulfilling his JD and he must be working with WSR. Rao's handshakes thought us that the political class is closely knit and works together. Gachagua must be working with Ruto! It's the foolish Kenyans who will take Gachagua seriously.
@Mabonga_254 It seems the part of the brains of Kenyans which is responsible for common sense and making of political decisions is one but largely a vacuum, and that's why Kenyans do irrational things.
@gpdkaluma How many teachers have quit/retired/exited from the service since 22 so that we can have an objective analysis and conclusion on the most pro-educaction btn the 2. Sometimes simplistic thinking can make Kenyans believe big-fat lies.
