THREAD: Making vs. Growing Money.

[Willis Evans Otieno @otienowill]

The debate is being framed incorrectly.

The issue is not the existence of CCTV cameras in school dormitory hallways. Surveillance in common areas is a standard safety measure in many boarding institutions and is often intended to enhance student security, emergency response, and accountability. Hallways are not private spaces.

The fundamental question is this: Why are students sleeping in hallways in the first place?

If learners are occupying corridors designed for movement and emergency evacuation, then the discussion should focus on overcrowding, inadequate infrastructure, student welfare, and compliance with minimum boarding standards.

A corridor is not a dormitory. It is not a sleeping area. The presence of students sleeping there points to a deeper institutional and policy failure that cannot be obscured by arguments about cameras.

Public attention should be directed toward capacity management, dormitory standards, and the conditions under which students are being accommodated. When a school reaches the point where hallways become sleeping quarters, the problem is not surveillance, it is overcrowding.

That is the issue that demands answers.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has just made a massive ruling on YOUR pension money.

Attorney General Dorcas Oduor and 3 others LOST the case while defending the government’s position.

For years, the government treated pension money deducted from workers’ salaries as if it were public money.

That is why pension schemes faced endless bureaucracy, procurement rules, delays, and costly approvals before investing your savings.

The Association of Retirement Benefits Schemes challenged this in court.

They lost in the High Court.
Lost again in the Court of Appeal.
But on 15th May 2026, the Supreme Court finally ruled in their favour.

The court declared that pension schemes sponsored by public entities and state corporations are PRIVATE TRUSTS, not government money.

Meaning?

Your pension is YOUR money.
Not the government’s.

Trustees can now invest faster, avoid unnecessary procurement bureaucracy, and potentially grow retirement savings better for millions of Kenyans.
This is one of the biggest financial rulings most wananchi have never heard about.

@sunnysunwords Cost aside, I want to know who 'measured' the zone and found it to be corruption free. What were their credentials? What yardstick did they use?

Ufisadi ubinafsi ukabila

Undugu ni kufaana🪕🎙️🎛️

Sitasimama maovu yakitawala
Siatasimama maovu yakitawala
Hard kuget wadhifa una deserve
Bila cash ama kashfa

Mfuko zinasikia echo🎵🎶.

Ready to lose their heads for presidency

"Why does our top performer get the worst reviews?" the boss asked.

I was reviewing their annual performance data.

"Show me," I said.

She pulled up the ratings.
Diana: 2.8 out of 5.
Below average on "collaboration."
Low marks for "team player."

"What's her actual performance?" I asked.

"Exceeded every target.
Landed our biggest client.
Trained three new hires."

"So why the low scores?"

"Her peer reviews are dragging her down."

I scanned the comments.
"Too direct."
"Challenges ideas too much."
"Not supportive enough."

"Let me talk to Diana," I said.

"I used to give honest feedback," Diana told me.
"Said our pricing model was broken.
Got dinged for 'negativity.'"

"What happened with the pricing?"

"They finally fixed it six months later.
After we lost two major accounts."

"What else?"

"I questioned why we needed
eleven approvals for a simple contract change.
Manager said I wasn't being collaborative."

"Are you still giving feedback?"

"No. I learned my lesson.
Now I smile. Nod. Say everything's great.
My reviews are improving."

"But nothing's actually improving?"

"We're making the same mistakes.
Just with better vibes." She chuckled.

I went back to the boss.

"Your review system doesn't measure performance," I said.
"It measures compliance."

"That's not true."

"When was the last time someone
got promoted for challenging bad ideas?"

Silence.

"When did someone get rewarded for preventing a mistake?"

More silence.

"You've trained your best people to stay quiet.
And your mediocre people to stay nice."

A few months later, they redesigned the system.

Added a category: "Constructive Challenge."
Points for identifying problems early.
Rewards for preventing costly mistakes.

Diana got promoted.

"What changed?" I asked the boss.

"We stopped confusing agreement with alignment.
Stopped mistaking silence for harmony."

"And?"

"Turns out our 'difficult' people
were our most valuable.
They actually cared enough to speak up."

Here's the truth about performance reviews:

Most companies don't reward performance.
They reward performance theater.

The person who says the meeting was great
beats the person who says it wasted an hour.

The person who agrees with bad ideas
beats the person who prevents disasters.

You think you're measuring contribution.
You're measuring conformity.

And your best people?
They've already figured out the game.

They're just deciding whether to play it
or find somewhere that values truth over comfort.

H.E Rigathi Gachagua is unapologetically a Kikuyu supremist and a tribalist class A. But he makes a valid point when he calls out leaders from Northern Kenya and tells the truth about them. Hon Rigathi Gachagua is 💯 right when he says (a) Northern Kenya leaders are thieves who steal from their people and invest public funds in Nairobi, (b) Northern Kenyan leaders can't account for about Kshs 1 trillion given to the region since devolution started in 2013. (c) Northern Kenya leaders have not built world class institutions ie schools, hospitals etc and have EATEN CDF money. (d) Northern Kenyans leaders including MCAs are all domiciled in Nairobi and have homes, wives and children only in Nairobi and none in Northern Kenya. Look at Garissa and Marsabit. Where did Kshs 300 billion in devolution money go to? Leaders steal money left, right and centre and nothing happens. Gachagua is playing politics, but when he talks about Northern Kenyan leaders and how they have let down their people he is being truthful and i'm with him 💯.

@lilacmwesh Visiting my maternal grandmother in Gatung'ang'a Village. My siblings and I always felt welcomed by our uncles, aunties and cousins. Recent visit to that village revealed that it has not changed...except for the beautiful tarmac road.
