Are you aware that East African Airways was drowning in debt, along with several other defunct EAC agencies? Do you actually know how those liabilities were settled, considering Tanzania’s economy was in the doldrums under Ujamaa and Uganda was fighting a civil war?
EAA was essentially insolvent by the time it was grounded. While you choose to frame Kenya’s decision to form Kenya Airways as a betrayal, the reality was a financial stalemate where Kenya was the only partner actually capable of paying the bills. Expecting Kenya to indefinitely subsidise partners who were either at war or undergoing radical economic experiments was emotional blackmail then, and it is clearly symptomatic of the relationship we still have today.
A school in Kenya that harvests over 2 million liters of rainwater every year.
The roof is the water system. The stadium seats 1,500 and collects 1.5 million liters on its own. Classrooms face inward toward agriculture courtyards where students grow their own food.
Girls who spent hours fetching water now attend school. Attendance hit 95%.
This is what architecture looks like when it solves the actual problem.

This thread is about how Kenya got to start talking about getting nuclear energy.
This is also a direct reply to Ferdinand Omondi who has been peddling misinformation about nuclear energy.

Unexpected forms of generosity:
•Being early can be a form of generosity. You wait, so they don't have to.
•Leaving something unsaid can be a form of generosity. You don't always need the last word.
•Delivering your work on time can be a form of generosity. You make life easier for everyone downstream.
•Not taking things personally can be a form of generosity. You give people the space to say things imperfectly."
