@moriah_bridges Wouldn't call it manipulative, but it is known as the Pygmalion effect (self-fulfilling prophecy) . If you hold someone to a higher standard, their behaviour tends to reflect those standards eventually.
Buana things are boiling nicely with these #RejectFuelPrices protests
Opiyo Wandayi has been called out by the matatu operators' leader for lying to the public.
No deal yet; strike is still on
Things just got awkward live on TV.
Opiyo Wandayi claimed they had agreed a deal with matatu operators to end the strike and even said there were no questions only for one of the matatu leaders to go live moments later and completely contradict him.
This is exactly the kind of courage Kenya needs.
Speak the truth publicly. Don’t let leaders rewrite reality while cameras are rolling.
@KenyaPower_Care I've been trying to load my tokens and I keep getting a "PADloc" error. I've also tried calling your lines but none of them are going through. Kindly assist.
@KenyaPower_Care I called about a tree that fell on power lines last night causing the transformer to exploded multiple times and yet it's been over twelve hours with no help. I just called again after another blast just to be told that the complaint was not logged! WTH?!
There is a quiet violence in telling people they must first be whole before they are loved. As if love were a reward for completion rather than a force that helps assemble us. Nobody arrives finished. We are shaped in proximity, not in isolation. The myth of self-sufficiency is just loneliness with better branding.
Yesterday I noticed the office printer was working perfectly, which raised my suspicion immediately.
I checked the logs and saw someone had cleared a paper jam at 3:12 p.m.
No ticket, no Slack, no communication.
Just silent action.
I asked the office if anyone had fixed it.
Everyone looked confused except one employee, who stared at his laptop a little too hard.
I pulled him aside afterward.
He admitted he unjammed it because “it was right there” and “took five seconds.”
I told him unilateral problem-solving disrupts our culture of collaboration and that he needed to go through the right channels if he wanted to take on a new project outside of his job description.
He said he didn’t realize fixing things was a chain-of-command issue.
I told him everything is a chain-of-command issue.
I wrote down “rogue operational autonomy” and locked the printer tray.
Raila Odinga was like the elephant in a dark room.Each of us touched a part of him;a leg and thought him a tree, a side and thought him a wall, a trunk and thought him a hose, a tail and thought him a whip.Only now, with the light on, and him resting with the ancestors do we see the enormity of who he was — good, flawed, immense, divisive and deliberative. An indelible part of 🇰🇪 journey.
