Nyakach Girls’ Chief Principal, Miss Okech Penina, is requiring all students to report to school with laptops or tablets. In addition, students are expected to purchase a lab coat from the school at Ksh 800, and pay an annual fee of Ksh 6,000 to access a learning app.
With a student population of over 1,000, the financial implication is significant. The Ksh 6,000 app fee per student alone brings in Ksh 6 million annually.
Official Brief: Kenya Malaria Strategy 2023–2027
1. Executive Summary
The Ministry of Health, in alignment with World Malaria Day, reaffirms its commitment to the "Zero Malaria" initiative. The current strategy focuses on decentralized health solutions, prioritizing high-burden counties and ensuring equitable access to life-saving interventions.
2. Performance Metrics & Achievements
• Disease Burden: Achieved a 70% reduction in malaria prevalence nationwide through consistent intervention.
• Preventative Measures: * Distribution of 14.6 million Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs).
• Achieved 95% coverage in Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) within targeted regions.
• Diagnostic Scalability: Transitioned toward community-based testing and treatment to reduce hospital-level pressure.
3. Strategic Pillars (2023–2027)
• Health Equity: Reaching underserved populations in rural and high-prevalence areas.
• Innovation: Implementation of the malaria vaccine alongside traditional vector control.
• Domestic Financing: Encouraging county-level investment and multi-sectoral partnerships to sustain the "Malaria Fund."
• Digital Integration: Utilizing real-time data for surveillance and rapid response to outbreaks.
"Zero Malaria: Kaunti Zetu. Jamii Zetu. Wakati Wetu."

More context:
After a short back and forth, they forced my friend to complete their KYC procedure. This already goes against their own KYC/AML policy, which says that if a customer refuses to complete KYC, they will simply issue a refund.
After he submitted KYC and SoF (source of funds) documents, they came back minutes later claiming it wasnt sufficient and demanded even more vague, “abstract” information.
My friend has a diagnosed moderate‑to‑severe ADHD, which makes organization genuinely difficult. He STILL wasted an entire day gathering documents, only for them to dismiss it within minutes and ask for even more unclear evidence, despite already having more than enough to prove he is a law abiding customer.
SpaceX's shocking competence:
"Somebody I know once worked for
@SpaceX and they were asked what it was like, and he said, "It's like being dropped into a zone of shocking competence."
Everybody is ultra competent.
And the reason everybody's ultra competent is because if they're not, Elon sniffs it out and fires them.
Elon's talking to the people actually doing the work. At this point having done this for 25 years he can sniff this out really quickly.
The best engineers in the world want to work for him because he's the one CEO who's able to work with them as a peer on whatever the technology is.
What would be better as an engineer than being able to design a rocket with @elonmusk as your engineering partner?"
