"Looking at the artifacts of the continent, those stolen goods... museums are laundromats where you cleanse atrocities...you put things away, shed a little light on them, add a little note that conceals the violence and brutality behind the acquisition."

🌟 Today, we hosted a thought-provoking Sustainability Heads Breakfast with champions of sustainability.

Key discussions tackled included promoting circularity and matters sustainability, carbon market frameworks and the intersection of ESG and tax.

Glad to hear you're looking into this David. Sadly the African Carbon Market Initiative is a wolf in sheep's clothing

It's being pushed as a silver bullet to solve Africa's problems but the real beneficiaries are fossil fuel giants, rich polluters & credit dealers #ACS23

Excellent report from @PowerShftAfrica and others on the ‘new’ African Carbon Markets Initiative.

Although, it’s profoundly depressing that ideas about carbon credits are resilient enough to decades worth of failures that this critique needs to exist…

The Africa Climate Summit is currently underway and it's time to talk about a critical issue: Western interests dominating the conversation.

I start with the controversial world of carbon credits.#ACS2023

He did not name names, but Kenyans have said he didn't need to because they already know the person in question.

I’ve been a hospital chaplain now for eight years at hundreds of deathbeds. I want to tell you something I’ve witnessed.

Most people, at the end, realize they’ve spent a lot of their life hiding. Sometimes by choice, or because they could not safely choose to be themselves. ➡️

While you and I type from our expensive gadgets in air-conditioned rooms, with adequate water and electricity (we are so privileged that if disruptions of water and electricity happen, we get a pre-planned notification in the national newspaper), only a handful of us can enjoy this - actually, that number is no more than 10%. And here, I'm not talking about the lower middle class; that class is one sickness or job loss away from poverty. They don't even make the cut for middle class if you look at international standards. In my opinion, you're either middle class or not. I digress.

So, you and I can use big words like economic sabotage, megalomania, egoistic, etc. - we are learned, after all. But let me break it down for you: economic sabotage is not an acute problem, no, it's a chronic issue that has been ongoing, catalyzed, and maintained by massive corruption, abuse of office, poor governance, and abuse of the rule of law. These are the characteristics of this sitting administration that has really been in power for more than 10 years, together with the political class of tumbocracy.

In our air-conditioned homes, with house plants, it's difficult to imagine what it looks like to work for 100-300 shillings daily, because that is the cost of 1 liter in your latest guzzler. Furthermore, you and I bulk shop, and our freezera are full of food to last us for months.

The nationwide unrest is revolutionary, and it transcends the opposition. In fact, in my opinion, the opposition's role is to amplify this. This kind of radicality experienced by Kenyans has been long overdue - food prices, healthcare, education, housing, safety, and security remain basic needs that can only be afforded by those of us sitting angrily on our patios.

If anything, it is the administration fueling social inequalities, injustices, and poor governance that should be blamed for economic sabotage. And their characteristic egoistic and megalomaniac behavior makes them blind and deaf to the plight of Kenyans.

They need to listen to the people #Maandamanowednesday
