Congratulations, Emmanuel Wanyonyi, on bringing home the Olympic gold in the thrilling 800m race! This meticulous performance maintains the Kenyan stranglehold on the race over the decades.
A great leader must have the courage to ignore the public at times, especially when the public is under the manipulation of known economic saboteurs and bitter election losers!
For instance...
Azimio went to the streets to force Ruto to return the Unga subsidy. Then Unga was retailing at more than 200/-
But President Ruto ignored their demands and focused on subsidizing production and laying down strong foundations for our economy!
Today..
Unga is retailing at 100/- down from 240/- during the handsek!
Things like cooking gas, cooking oil and others are considerably cheaper than during the handsek regime.
Had Ruto succumbed to the violence, the threats to overthrow him and even suicidal members of the public who had promised to literally drag him out of state house...
Unga would be 300/- and the same people would be skinning Daktari alive for failing to cushion them.
It's the same thing today!
Ruto is saying, for instance, that we must protect the local industries against unnecessary imports!
Importing things we have the capacity to produce is literally killing the local manufacturers!
So, he's imposing tax on imported finished products...not banning them but making sure that local products will be cheaper and competitive.
Logical?
No! Not according to the so called Gen Z.
Just as Azimio were on the streets to demand Unga subsidies, the young people are on the streets threatening to send Ruto to sayun and assigning him some of the most dehumanizing monikers.
They are demanding that Ruto protects imported products. They care less about the local industries!
Well, Ruto...as usual, is ready to be unpopular and stomach the name calling...as long as he's defending local industries.
He knows that thriving local industries will translate into millions of jobs for the same people insulting him and his family today!
Just like a parent may choose to disappoint their kids now to secure them a better future!
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what sets apart a real leader from a pool of populists!
Given the high cost of road maintenance, KeNHA has established 23 virtual weighbridge stations across the country that are closely monitored in real time from the centre. This has been effective in capturing overload offenders.
The virtual weighbridges are a step towards the implementation of the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) across the country which will help curb road offences and save lives. As a Ministry, we are investing in technology to enhance early detection of incidences and mitigate violations within the road network.
Happy Birthday, Mr. President.
We wish you Blessings and Favour as you continue serving our Nation, State and Republic of Kenya.
We are African and Africa is our Business..
Happy Birthday, Bill, my cherished friend and confidant. On this momentous day, as we celebrate your birthday and our wedding anniversary, I am filled with gratitude.
Reflecting on the journey we've shared, I am reminded of a verse from the Bible, "There are three things that will endure - faith, hope, and love - and the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13
Kwa kweli mambo ni matatu🥰
Your love and support have been a true blessing. Thank you for being a constant source of joy and strength.
Congratulations to Marathon World Record holder Kelvin Kiptum and Champion @FaithKipyegon_ for being named as the World Athletes of the Year in the Outside stadia and Track events respectively.
Receiving the Princess of Asturias Award tonight fulfills me with honor, as it’s an acknowledgement for something that I’ve believed in thoroughly throughout my career. To some, running is simply an act of physical movement. But ever since I started running as a young boy in Kapsabet, Kenya, I knew running meant something much greater than that. Running is not just physical movement. Running is a vehicle that has the power to unite us.
We can only achieve greatness if we fully believe that there is nothing holding us back. There are no limits, just what our mind tricks us to believe. So, I urge to you see the world this way. To see the world without limits and to see all that is possible. A running world is a happy world. A running world is a united world.
Muchas gracias.
