Dear Home Owner,

I want you to pause a little before you build.

The pause can be 1 hour before ground breaking or one week before you sign that contract.

Take a moment.

What if there is a chance you can build a more beautiful, functional and timeless house…

On the same budget?

So that the country does not have a clutter of poorly designed houses, the Minister of Planning of South Wales released a Design Guide for Apartments in July 2015.

This is the right policy direction when you see your country turning ugly

It is designed to deliver better quality design for buildings that respond appropriately to the character of the area, landscape setting and surrounding built form.

#MjengoElimu It is still a great reference guide we can learn from.

@Njeriwaridi Pottery can be great considering you can scale beyond cutlery to even tiles and other avenues of self-expression. Plus you will use both hands meaning less screen time

Looking for great things for a great house.

In case you needed the signal to embrace the crafts. Go in hard

Write code
Embrace carpentry
Love Masonry
Skills is our next salvation in a world filled with shallowness.
Go hard.

Whoever designed Prism Towers shouldn't be allowed to design any other building

@6_size Alaa

From outside it looks interesting

I am surprised it doesn’t work well

[Sacrinos Π 🇰🇪✊🏿 @dnahinga]

there is much sorrow, not only of the dramatic kind but also in the way that difficult economic circumstances wear people down, eroding them, preying on their weaknesses, until they do things that they themselves find hateful, until they are shadows of their best selves.

This morning a pastor hit me, hard, from behind in traffic. And he arrogantly left the scene saying he had a service to deliver, but after I had caught his details. I reported him to the cops and they found him, gave him my number.
Now his mechanic is calling me to berate me

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?😮‍💨

Someone tried to swap my SIM card today. Thankfully, they were not successful. If you have not done so, please consider whitelisting your number by dialing *100*100#. That way it can only be changed in person, at a Safaricom shop.

Camus ‘is deeply informed and angry at a time when other journalists in France took any complaint about Algerian poverty as an attack on French values.’

[Sacrinos Π 🇰🇪✊🏿 @dnahinga]

Opportunity is something that can be manufactured locally.

I am reading Albert Camus and his works.

When France was impoverishing Algeria, the apologists wrote things like, “Impoverished Kabyles could improve their lot by leaving to work in mainland France.”

A society where people can stay and prosper has different characteristics from a society where prosperity requires departure.

We have become experts at looking away from the causes of our poverty and misery.

[Sacrinos Π 🇰🇪✊🏿 @dnahinga]

History does not repeat itself but sometimes it rhymes:

Algeria: 1830–1962 = 132 years of French rule.

Kenya: 1895–2026 = 131 years since the start of formal British colonial rule.

Study society but think for yourself.

#5Years Ago, I thought about this Urban-Rural Trend.

I thought the best rational move was to go west or south and grow with the county.

Not to knock on the door of unhappiness again, but I can’t help thinking that the export of natives follows a pattern.

Conditions first make the village unable to sustain its people. Many then move to the city seeking opportunity, only to face fierce competition and end up in informal settlements. From there, the most ambitious or desperate leave the country as labour exports.

The people move, but the underlying conditions remain unresolved.

Nothing just happens.

If we want lasting prosperity, we must create opportunity at the root.

We must repair the village economy so that people can thrive where they are born or in a village of their choice with means readily available at hand, instead of being forced into migration for survival.

A society succeeds when staying is a genuine option, not when leaving is the only one.
