Candidate : "Honestly? Nothing. I have loans, rent just went up, and I'm tired of being underpaid because I'm 'still learning.' I know my worth now."
HR went back to his boss.
Showed them the cost of leaving the role open another 3 months. The lost productivity. The team burnout. The recruiter fees if we went external.
It was over 50,000.
The boss accepted.
Here's the part that still gives the HR chills: Six months later, she told HR she had another offer for 130,000 per month but turned it down because they were the only company that fought FOR her, not AGAINST her.
Candidates remember who believed in them. They remember who negotiated IN GOOD FAITH versus who played games.
Stop treating salary negotiations like a battle to win. Start treating them like the first test of your company culture.
Because if you can't advocate for someone BEFORE they join, why would they believe you'll advocate for them AFTER?
I know it hurts a lot, but the truth is : Fuel isn’t “free money.” Cheaper fuel means less levy revenue for roads. Kenya has 164,967 km of roads, 15.1% paved (24,868 km); Uganda has 146,000 km, 4.4% paved (6,466 km); Tanzania has 181,000 km, 8% paved (15,000 km). Kenya uses a fuel/roads levy, and cheaper fuel still means less road funding unless the gap is covered elsewhere. The choice is simple: lower taxes and cheaper fuel with slower road development, or higher levies and stronger road expansion. The opposition should stop turning every fuel conversation into cheap politics and blaming Ruto for everything.

Public infrastructure roads, railways, hospitals, education systems is, by design, financed through taxpayer contributions. That is not a flaw in the SYSTEM ; it is the system. The real conversation should not be whether taxpayers are funding development, but whether that development is strategic, transparent, and delivers long-term economic value.
Reducing such a complex national investment to a populist soundbite risks misleading the public and lowering the standard of leadership we should expect. Nimeshinda nikisema Language fluency or rhetorical delivery should never be mistaken for depth of thought or clarity of understanding. Or intelligence this is a good example.
Senegal’s president casually updates his social profile pictures to include the AFCON trophy behind him.
How do you say “come and get it if you can” in Wolof?
President William Ruto has the right of reply. Rigathi Gachagua body shamed and ridiculed Ruto and Ruto replied. Decorum begets decorum. An eye for an eye. Has The Standard placed a photo of Gachagua quoting all the insults and claims that Gachagua has directed at Ruto since he was impeached? The truth is stubborn and the truth is Rigathi Gachagua was drunk with power during his short time in office. Rigathi Gachagua was also behaving as if he was the Deputy President for Kikuyu development and not Kenya's development as a whole. History is stubborn. Achaneni na Rais aongee imtoke pia. Ukiita mwanaume mbwa akuite mbwa shida iko wapi? Hakuna. Unpresidential my foot! ⚖️
We celebrate 100 years of Kapsabet Boys School's rich legacy of nurturing men of integrity, purpose and ambition. As one of the oldest centres of excellence in our country, the school has produced two of Kenya’s five Presidents and thousands of accomplished professionals serving with distinction in many spheres.
To ensure more students benefit from the school’s tradition of excellence, we commit to expanding the institution’s facilities. This includes the construction of a science complex, an additional 40 classrooms, a 1,000-bed capacity hostel, and the hiring of 20 teachers - now in the payroll of the Board of Management - by the Teachers Service Commission.

Ndugu, it is inherent, hence the point on large-scale food production through irrigation as the long-term, permanent solution.
Priority?
Priority is not merely discussing drought in meetings (though Mandera leaders expressed satisfaction with mitigation efforts so far). Priority is decisive action on the ground, which is exactly what the Government is doing.
Over the past two months, the Government has repeatedly announced and implemented drought mitigation measures.
So far, the Government has committed KSh 10.1 billion, including KSh 6 billion in January 2026 to sustain emergency interventions and an additional KSh 4.1 billion approved by Cabinet in February, as communicated via last week’s Cabinet despatch.
These actions, coordinated under the Office of the Deputy President and the State Department for Special Programmes, include food assistance, emergency water trucking, borehole rehabilitation, Hunger Safety Net cash transfers, health and nutrition surveillance, and livestock and livelihood protection across the most affected counties.
Drought response is ongoing, and mitigation measures are clearly outlined.
I’m trying to understand your problem, ndugu.
Guys want Nairobi to be clean like Ethiopia lakini KeNHA ikianza usafi they're emotional buana.
Sirkali imejenga markets na traders hawataki kuuzia sokoni.
Barabara ya 4 lanes jioni inakuwa reduced to 2 lanes, moja imasombwa na Hawkers na vibanda ingine mazombie wamepark tu probox wanauza vitunguu.
Very unethical behaviour.
