The young people of this country are the ones that will save this country. Once we return to the values of meritocracy in public service, such talent will not go to waste.
The debate between Gen Zs and millennials is totally imbalanced because we are comparing people at very different stages of life, under very different burdens, and then pretending the answers are already clear.
Gen Zs are right to say they are bold, outspoken and less willing to tolerate humiliation, especially in workplaces, politics and society. That is a good thing, and Kenya has benefited from that courage. But millennials are also not weak simply because many learnt how to endure bad systems, survive quietly, keep jobs, swallow pride and carry responsibilities without making noise every day.
The truth is that we may not get the real answer now. We will only know when Gen Zs are in their 30s and 40s, with children in school, ageing parents to support, rent or mortgages to pay, medical bills arriving without warning, loans hanging over them, and entire households depending on one salary.
That is when life tests political courage, workplace courage and social courage differently. It is easy to say people should walk away from oppressive spaces when you are mostly carrying yourself. It becomes more complicated when your resignation, rebellion or public confrontation can immediately affect your children, your parents, your spouse and everyone who eats from your table.
So maybe millennials were tough in survival while Gen Zs are tough in confrontation, but the debate is not complete until both generations have faced the same weight of adult responsibility.
Let us wait and see whether the same fire remains when life adds school fees, hospital bills, dependants, debt and the fear of one wrong move collapsing a whole family.
Until then, this argument is interesting, but it is not settled......
First — why is sulphur in fuel at all?
It was in the crude oil when it came out of the ground. Millions of years of compressed organic matter. Sulphur is part of that.
Removing it costs serious money and advanced refinery equipment.
So historically? Nobody bothered.
KE 🇰🇪 This may be your reality very soon. The government just changed what's in your fuel. Quietly.
From April 30th, the petrol and diesel at every pump in Kenya has 5x more sulphur in it than it did last month.
Here's what that means for your car. 🧵
This evening I want to speak directly to contractors, consultants, and companies run by single directors without proper structures.
In the current tax environment, you must ADJUST or PERISH .
Let’s be honest.
-Many of you don’t formally record expenses. -You procure casually without proper invoices or compliance checks. -You don’t have solid bookkeeping. -You mix personal and business money. -You withdraw everything that hits the account. -You don’t plan for tax.
And worst of it all -YOU DON’T KNOW YOUR TAX OBLIGATION
Yet a significant percentage of that consultancy income is TAX .
Now here’s what has changed.
With eTIMS framework and the operationalization of Income and expense validation , every invoice you issue is visible and every expense demand validation by being eTIMS supported! -If your client claims your invoice as an expense, it must match your declaration. -If you claim an expense, it must be supported by a compliant supplier invoice.
There is no “we’ll adjust later.”
The system validates both sides.
This is the era of structure.
-If you operate casually, the system will calculate your tax for you.
-If you operate strategically, you control your outcome.
5 PRACTICAL THINGS YOU CAN START WITH
1. Separate yourself from the business! Let business money be business money
2. Understand your Business model ( Profit equation ) and Structure
3. Know your Tax Obligations and plan for them
4. Account for every shilling as far as its business money !
5. Ensure that every business transaction is supported by an eTIMS invoice or TIMS invoice

🚨They THREATENED a scientist for
publishing this study... 👀
Dr. Bryan Ardis drops a bombshell about magnesium, salt, blood pressure, and heart health.
A massive 20-year study across 49 countries and 450,000 people may flip everything mainstream medicine has told us. 🤔
KRA is not playing with Naivas.
You know Naivas. Hii tu moja.
It was a fully family owned supermarket giant.
When the time came to cash out, the owners weighed their options.
If they sold the supermarket from Kenya, they would pay insane taxes.
So they went shopping for low tax countries. And Mauritius presented itself. It was irresistible.
- 0% tax on sale of the company.
In 2015, the family registered a shell company in Mauritius. Called it NIL.
Then transferred all their shares to this company.
So Naivas was now 100% owned by a Mauritian company.
To make it even tighter, they added another layer.
They set up a second shell company. Called it GFI.
And transferred all NIL shares to GFI.
So now:
• GFI owns NIL
• NIL owns Naivas Kenya
Proper entanglement. Achana na hiyo yako.
As all this is happening, they are unaware of one dangerous sentence sitting quietly in Kenyan tax law.
It reads:
• Any company managed and controlled from Kenya is a Kenyan resident company.
Then the family went looking for a buyer.
In 2020:
• They sold 30% of the supermarket for 5.2B
• By selling 30% of NIL shares
So:
- Naivas is still owned by NIL
- But NIL now has a new shareholder
And everything happened in Mauritius quietly.
Nothing has changed hands in Kenya trigger anything.
• Deal is closed. 0 tax.
Bahati mbaya, KRA caught wind that Naivas is gone.
Immediately, KRA embarked on a fault finding mission.
In 2022, KRA discovered that:
- The family has always lived in Kenya. Not Mauritius.
- They managed and controlled every single operation of the shell companies from Kenya
They invoked the one dangerous sentence.
You remember it?
• Any company managed and controlled from Kenya, is a Kenyan resident company.
KRA said:
• These Mauritius shell companies are Kenyan
• They must pay tax in Kenya
Tax demanded: 30% of 5.2B. Plus penalties
• Total Bill: 1.8B
Naivas ran to court.
The court looked at it, and sided with KRA.
Family wakaabiwa walipe tax.
Case closed!
Lesson.
• Structure your offshore company properly.
• Or KRA will structure it for you.

After understanding the meaning behind this father’s action, I am completely convinced. Cultivating problem-solving skills in children from a young age and never giving up-I applaud this father!
You've been lied to.
The root cause of cancer was discovered in 1931.
The man who found it won a Nobel Prize—then was buried by Big Pharma.
His name is Dr. Otto Warburg.
Here's what he discovered:
True intelligence comes from 3 core abilities: solving problems with clarity, adjusting with grace in any situation and making decisions that are thoughtful.
When these qualities grow, so does your inner strength. Nurture them a little every day and watch the shift within you.
This week, Addis Ababa🇪🇹, the diplomatic capital of Africa, is in a flurry of activities.
Leaders debate the future of a continent that is overwhelmingly young, enough to be their grandchildren, yet governed largely by some of its oldest and longest-serving rulers, some very ruthless and unforgiving.
And the paradox grows louder every year.
Panels convene on “youth empowerment” and “democratic resilience”, while some of these leaders wrestle with coups, contested ballots and protests fueled by plunder of economies.
They are seated close to each other, smiling, chuckling, one by one standing up with straight faces and scripted speeches while back at home, they mutilate their own constitutions, torture and abduct rivals, scrap and stretch term limits, stain elections and limit the very rights that put them in office.
They preach sovereignty while silencing own citizens.
They invoke unity while accumulating power and wealth.
Can you leaders, look across the room and say to each other, “Enough. Respect the constitution. Respect term limits. Respect the people. Stop abductions. Finish your term and go!”

If you are not rich but you want your children to speak well, think clearly, and sound confident among their peers, buy a radio. Play it at home every day. Less TV, more radio.
Radio shapes a child’s mind in ways TV and short-form content never will. Language on radio is structured, censored, and intentional. Kids naturally avoid vulgar or lazy expressions because they are constantly hearing proper diction. They learn how to form sentences, ask questions, and express opinions clearly.
Beyond language, radio teaches respect. Conversations on radio model how to listen, wait your turn, disagree without insults, and engage thoughtfully. Many programs emphasize values, responsibility, and community awareness. Children absorb these lessons without being lectured.
Radio also keeps children informed. They learn what is happening in their society, not just trends on the internet. News, traffic, public health discussions, culture, and local issues become normal topics to them. This builds social intelligence early. They grow up aware, not disconnected.
Another underrated benefit is imagination. Radio forces the brain to visualize. Kids learn to think, picture scenarios, and process information deeply instead of passively watching images. This improves concentration, comprehension, and memory.
Radio is also accessible and affordable. No expensive subscriptions, no internet, no algorithms pushing nonsense. Just consistent, curated content that educates by default.
Most importantly, radio slows the mind down. In a world of instant clips and overstimulation, listening trains patience and focus. These skills show up later in how children speak, reason, and carry themselves.
The act of listening to radio is slowly dying, and that’s a loss. Not because radio is old, but because it quietly builds the kind of intelligence and confidence that money usually has to pay for later.
Sometimes the simplest tools shape the strongest minds.
Since I stopped listening to the radio I can't lie i feel empty.
