@janetmachuka_ It's become more of a pageant for investor funding than true innovation.
Same core just dressed up differently.
I think it a consequence of copying foreign models than homegrown solutions to local problems from the ground up.
The last true solution remains mpesa.
No matter how much potential you have, if you don’t fully lock in and take charge of your life, you’ll eventually end up as the guy who had potential but nothing to show for it.
Here is everything you need to know about the budget in simple terms.
@Fortuneochako1 has shared details from the FY 2026/27 budget.
Save the thread below:
I studied political science as a minor in the university and this was one of the books that we read and referenced in one of the courses.
Initially as young chaps this book infuriated us and we began to blame the west for our woes until we came across another book “How Africa Underdeveloped Africa”.
Till date, I have no blames or fight with the Europeans. The time for blaming them is long gone. Now it is our evil leaders who are constantly looting and ravaging the continent.
Sometimes I wonder if there’s really a problem with the black race because how can a whole continent have wicked leaders? Only the “white” part of the continent have major developments.
Africans, it is your leaders that have ravaged you, not Europeans.
Kenya may run out of fuel soon, with importers holding only 21 days of stock for its 100,000 barrels daily use, all imported.
Some major suppliers are now limiting sales, while rural areas are already reporting fuel shortages.
In a stunning twist to the Sh60.8 million fake ambulance tender scandal, The Standard can reveal that the scam was orchestrated from the office of Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omolo by senior officials and aides, and that the whistleblower who tipped off police is a close aide to the PS

Kenya government plans to move civil servants from permanent and pensionable jobs to 5-year contracts.
The proposal is set to be presented to Cabinet and will affect over 1 million workers
The state of the economy with high taxation and high commodity prices will remain high untill 2026 when Ruto will start introducing subsidies and scrapping taxes. We will then praise him and vote him in come 2027 elections because we have an eight seconds memory
🚨 Your brain is running on just 12 watts right now while processing this sentence. An AI system would need 2.7 billion watts to do the same thing.
That's not a typo. The human brain operates on roughly the same amount of power as a dim light bulb, yet it can recognize faces, solve complex problems, create art, and experience emotions simultaneously. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence systems require massive data centers consuming enough electricity to power entire cities just to simulate a fraction of what your brain does effortlessly.
Think about what your brain accomplished just reading this far. It decoded symbols into meaning, connected new information to existing memories, probably triggered some emotional responses, and maybe even started forming opinions about AI energy consumption. All while maintaining your heartbeat, breathing, and thousands of other bodily functions. Total power consumption: 12 watts.
The most advanced AI systems need server farms filled with thousands of high-powered processors, industrial cooling systems, and backup power supplies. They consume roughly 225 million times more energy than your brain to perform similar cognitive tasks. It's like comparing a bicycle to a freight train in terms of efficiency.
This incredible disparity reveals just how remarkably evolution has optimized biological intelligence. Millions of years of natural selection created a thinking machine so efficient it makes our most advanced technology look primitive and wasteful by comparison.
Your smartphone uses more power than your brain while being infinitely less capable. Every thought you're having right now represents the pinnacle of energy-efficient computing, wrapped in three pounds of biological tissue that somehow generates consciousness, creativity, and dreams.
Nature got there first, and we're still trying to catch up.
