@Safaricom_Care. 3rd Time your OneApp cannot complete purchase of voice bundles to another line. Flooding me with minutes I don't need. Nobody can resolve this?
Kenya must liberalise Power production for Manufacturing and high Tech Industries to grow.
Our Country can easily be a hub of Data Centres and take advantage of the current and growing high demand for energy as a result of technology uptake.
The entrenched patronage in Power Purchase Agreements and Independence Power Production only benefits the producers and the cost is shouldered by the entire Economy. Part of the cost being political rent.
We must rethink Power Production, Manufacturing and Technology.
We are African and Africa is our Business..
@Railajunior@ClintonObonyo Onyi Papa J sat not too far from me at Baba's Funeral Service in Bondo. Sadly, his great songs + those of others who excellently "sang" the Enigma's praises now carry with them pain and grief!Our prayers abound for the family and friends across the 🌎 !We shall overcome. Death.

Friends-
This is a tough note to write, but since a bunch of you have started to suspect something, I’ll cut to the chase: Last week I was diagnosed with metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die.
Advanced pancreatic is nasty stuff; it’s a death sentence. But I already had a death sentence before last week too — we all do.
I’m blessed with amazing siblings and half-a-dozen buddies that are genuinely brothers. As one of them put it, “Sure, you’re on the clock, but we’re all on the clock.” Death is a wicked thief, and the bastard pursues us all.
Still, I’ve got less time than I’d prefer. This is hard for someone wired to work and build, but harder still as a husband and a dad. I can’t begin to describe how great my people are. During the past year, as we’d temporarily stepped back from public life and built new family rhythms, Melissa and I have grown even closer — and that on top of three decades of the best friend a man could ever have. Seven months ago, Corrie was commissioned into the Air Force and she’s off at instrument and multi-engine rounds of flight school. Last week, Alex kicked butt graduating from college a semester early even while teaching gen chem, organic, and physics (she’s a freak). This summer, 14-year-old Breck started learning to drive. (Okay, we’ve been driving off-book for six years — but now we’ve got paper to make it street-legal.) I couldn’t be more grateful to constantly get to bear-hug this motley crew of sinners and saints.
There’s not a good time to tell your peeps you’re now marching to the beat of a faster drummer — but the season of advent isn’t the worst. As a Christian, the weeks running up to Christmas are a time to orient our hearts toward the hope of what’s to come.
Not an abstract hope in fanciful human goodness; not hope in vague hallmark-sappy spirituality; not a bootstrapped hope in our own strength (what foolishness is the evaporating-muscle I once prided myself in). Nope — often we lazily say “hope” when what we mean is “optimism.” To be clear, optimism is great, and it’s absolutely necessary, but it’s insufficient. It’s not the kinda thing that holds up when you tell your daughters you’re not going to walk them down the aisle. Nor telling your mom and pops they’re gonna bury their son.
A well-lived life demands more reality — stiffer stuff. That’s why, during advent, even while still walking in darkness, we shout our hope — often properly with a gravelly voice soldiering through tears.
Such is the calling of the pilgrim. Those who know ourselves to need a Physician should dang well look forward to enduring beauty and eventual fulfillment. That is, we hope in a real Deliverer — a rescuing God, born at a real time, in a real place. But the eternal city — with foundations and without cancer — is not yet.
Remembering Isaiah’s prophecies of what’s to come doesn’t dull the pain of current sufferings. But it does put it in eternity’s perspective:
“When we've been there 10,000 years…We've no less days to sing God's praise.”
I’ll have more to say. I’m not going down without a fight. One sub-part of God’s grace is found in the jawdropping advances science has made the past few years in immunotherapy and more. Death and dying aren’t the same — the process of dying is still something to be lived. We’re zealously embracing a lot of gallows humor in our house, and I’ve pledged to do my part to run through the irreverent tape.
But for now, as our family faces the reality of treatments, but more importantly as we celebrate Christmas, we wish you peace: “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned….For to us a son is given” (Isaiah 9).
With great gratitude, and with gravelly-but-hopeful voices,
Ben — and the Sasses

From his autobiography's launch at Sankara last Sunday to the studio today, Prof. Omondi Oyoo visits KBC's English Service Books Café, the Premier Writers' Program, produced and hosted by Mr. Khainga O'okwemba, who is also a poet, essayist & travelogue.
I was honored to grace the launch of Prof. George Oyoo’s book at Sankara Hotel in Nairobi this evening.
I met with Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka and took advantage of the opportunity to talk about very disturbing aspects of the recent by-elections in our country.
My campaign is clear on this: For a regime to employ violence and blatant rigging in a by-election is a sign of the mafia moves they will pull off in 2027. This is a siren we cannot ignore. We must be united in resetting our country to Ukatiba and restoring trust and accountability in our systems.
Engineering the Future - The Roadmap for KENYA
Eng. Maxwell Ngala: The curriculum we have used for many years needs to evolve in line with the changes required in academia. We must ensure that education keeps pace with advancements in the field. In the past, engineering relied on tools like the T-square, whereas today we use computer-aided design.
Universities and colleges have enriched the curriculum through cross-pollination of careers, improved content delivery, and the integration of new technologies that students are increasingly embracing.
All these factors influence the fundamentals of engineering and shape the discipline to meet modern requirements.
