I've been trying to tell people for years.

- Kenya was the "safe" place in Africa for the rich children of the world to come and work and play.. back during colonial days.
- Once colonialism was over.. that didn't change, if anything it increased. More so with the continued portrayal of Kenya via Hollywood movies and series.
- When people think of "traveling to Africa" they first think of Kenya, not Tanzania or South Africa. Again.. thanks to Hollywood.
- Kenya has always been aligned with the centers of Money in the world, i.e. New York and London.
- Kenya is still the "real Africa" unlike South Africa, with more of the practical problems the rest of the continent faces.. while also having enough of the amenities that South Africa offers.
- It's always been stable, with a stable business environment, with strong judicial oversight of business structures.

All of these things make it the go to spot in Africa for any Ivy League grad with a bright idea.

It's also a badge of honor on any Western CV to have done time in Kenya. South Africa and other places.. less so.

The doctors wanted her as PS because of the work she did in prisons.

The PS is incompetent even as an English graduate, not just because she didn't study medicine. Someone saying "let's not politicize matters" didn't understand her theory class. The decision of the US to bring ebola here was political. So the PS should not be telling us not to politicize matters. The matters are already political.

Two, Oluga is pushing the same agenda and he has a masters in medicine. Is he competent, then?

Kenya's problem is political education, not technical expertise. Educated Kenyans are gloriously ignorant and proudly lacking in what Yvonne Owuor called (yes, she's a writer) "historical intelligence." It's a problem across all professions in Kenya. The ebola quarantine in health is conservation in ecology and CBC in education. Educated Kenyans, especially in the government, lack philosophical knowledge and are competently pro-imperialist.

The tragedy here is that Jaramogi spotted the problem with the civil service in 1965 when he and other politicians started the Lumumba Institute. It was quickly shut down through the scheming of Mboya and the Americans. That's how we got Sessional Paper no 10 of 1965 to make Kenyan civil servants solidly capitalist. Capitalism is solidly anti-intellectual. That's why the civil servants have no clue about the geopolitical arena they're operating in.

@MugambiNandi Unfortunately it’s a monetary shakedown targeting private motorists and has nothing much to do with enforcing road safety for all.

I will be following her everywhere in the kitchen while she makes dinner nikiambiwa "na by the way sijakuambia...."

Mimi niko tu hapo na "enhe, aki na vile ako sponyo...." while handing her the shit she needs and being rewarded with a scoop to taste if the salt is enough

I say this,

Si when you spot one, just mark it on Google Maps so that we all are aware of where these speed traps are.

I always mark accidents and breakdowns

When KALRO and KEBS warn us there is aflotoxin-laced cereal in the country, and that it has cancer-causing agents, what do they want us, as consumers, to do?
Do we have the means to trace, mop up—and prosecute those selling— toxic grain?
Why does GoK stop at WARNING the public?😮‍💨

If true this would be a huge win for feminism. Women are grossly underrepresented in the dictatorship and authoritarianism fields
