In dealing with any problem, you must train yourself to look at how it inevitably connects to a larger picture.

The LAPSSET Corridor Masterplan was a Raila Odinga's brainchild with his advisor, Professor Hiroyuki Hino.

He presented it to the Coalition Government (2008 - 2013) for its adoption and execution.

We don't appreciate Baba enough.

He carried the insults, we carry the glory.

Power is in many ways a game of appearances, and when you say less than necessary, you inevitably appear greater and more powerful than you are.

Every morning, when you leave your house, know that you will meet people who are

• Abusive

• Provocative

• Reckless

People who are ready to ruin your day.

They are miserable people unleashing their misery on you so that you become like them.

Refuse to respond to them.

Displaying anger and emotion are signs of weakness; you cannot control yourself, so how can you control anything?

When I see people buy adult diapers for their ailing parents I empathize.

Most of these ailing parents are struggling with the consequences of metabolic ailments.

And so, if you are still healthy,

Be grateful, take care of your health.

Your health is an asset.

At the start of your career, you must attach your name and reputation to a quality, an image, that sets you apart from other people.

This image can be something like a characteristic style of dress, or a personality quirk that amuses people and gets talked about.

People who like to complain and whine seek comfort in their lack of discipline.

Do something good: They complain.

Do something bad: They complain.

Do nothing: They complain.

Do something: They complain.

Be vocal: They complain.

Be silent: They complain.

The most critical leadership skill is EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (EQ):

When to speak.

When to be silent.

Whom to speak to and whom to avoid.

The two most important pillars of EQ:

• SELF-AWARENESS

• SELF-REGULATION

The most important foundation of EQ:

• SELF-DISCIPLINE

Last year July, I met Jirongo. We sat at Cedars, Lenana Road.

I expressed my disappointment with the elusive Luhya unity and the constant competition amongst Luhya siblings.

I then met Governor Natembeya somewhere in Karen. At the time, he was enjoying national attention with his Tawe slogan.

He was with Caleb Hamisi. I told the Governor that I am volunteering to unite him with Eugene and Jirongo, and also see it that through Eugene and Jirongo's parties, a union of ideas can be born.

At the time, Malava by-election campaigns were ongoing, and Panyako was running on Jirongo's party.

I then met Jirongo the next day at Kiprono Kittony's Sirwo Coffee Restaurant in Lavington.

He agreed to meet the Governor and then Eugene Wamalwa to unite them, so that they don't fall out.

We agreed that I should spearhead talks with younger Luhya politicians like Malala, Hamisi and Sifuna, then, together with Eugene, we would meet Mzee Atwoli, who would take us to Oparanya, Wetangula, and Musalia.

He also tasked me with meeting Governor Fernandes, so he would agree to end the conflicts between him, Nabii Nabwera, and Oparanya.

Our goal was for these Luhya politicians to discard political differences and start speaking for the M'baluhya.

Our other goal was for the older generation of Luhya politicians like Musalia and Gumo to support and mentor the younger ones.

From Busia to Busali, from Likuyani to Nyang'ori, from Kitale to Luanda, every corner of Luhya land would be speaking with one voice.

After the meeting, he called Panyako to follow up on Malava's campaign.

All was well.

He then said he was travelling to Libya and would be back in October.

We parted ways amicably, and I travelled back to Western.

A few days later, I saw Panyako with Natembeya, and I thought Jirongo had chosen not to field a candidate.

CJ was later disappointed that Panyako abandoned the party even after being funded to run on it.

Then Malala and DCP also dropped from the race, and I thought Jirongo had talked to him, as this was our behind-the-scenes discussion.

Since CJ had left, I chose to focus on other things.

On October 15th at around 6 am, I saw CJ's call and knew he was setting up another meeting, only for him to break the news of Baba's death.

This therefore meant we would wait. He set up a meeting in January 2026 because after the Funeral, there would be so much happening like by-elections in Malava, and then Christmas holidays.

"Amerix, we don't have time. If we don't unite these politicians now that Baba has left us, we shall be scattered," he said.

Unfortunately, CJ lost his life, on 13th December.

It was so devastating. A sad loss.

Now, when I see Caleb, Natembeya, and Eugene bickering, I get so disappointed.

Caleb has his party. Natembeya has taken CJ's party. Eugene has his party.

Even the fact that Kalonzo has ring-fenced "Ukombozi" yet Natembeya had all the time to amend Jirongo's party makes me wonder if Luhya political leaders are strategic and intelligent.

Political success requires strategy, cunning, Machiavellianism, persuasion, give-and-take and ruthless pursuit of goals, not just slogans and rallies.

Luhya politicians appear clueless, disorganized and and jealous of each other.

No one wants to see the other reach the top political summit.

Please, Abaluhya politicians, put aside your egotistical differences and work for the M'baluhya.

You will never attract meaningful collaboration if your house is divided.

Luhyas are stranded.

It is embarrassing.

I want to restart the journey of talking to these politicians.

Change or Perish.

The great scientist Thomas Edison knew that to raise money he had to remain in the public eye at any cost.

Almost as important as the inventions themselves was how he presented them to the public and courted attention.

Trust your instincts: if someone’s behavior seems suspicious, it probably is. It may turn out to be benign, but in the meantime it is best to be on your guard.

Most of black parents are still waking up early in the morning and dragging themselves to work at their 50's to feed their 25-27 year old children who sit and watch DSTV all day.

And all they do is post nice pictures on social media and pretend everything is going well in their lives.

WAKE UP!!!

There are 101 days left until the end of 2026.

You have 1 day left to decide what your next 100 days will look like.

Today, sit, write, plan, and decide what you want to achieve and become at the end of 100 days.

Then start.

This is your life. Don't joke around.

Since we must live in society and must depend on the opinions of others, there is nothing to be gained by neglecting your reputation.

By not caring how you are perceived, you let others decide this for you.

Men,

Remember,

A woman who insists that you should live in the city, and not build in the village,

Is a woman with the mathematics of subtraction,

She wants to subtract every value from you and leave you with zero.

Finally, she will blame and dump you.
