In Kenya, one of the best personal finance decisions you can make is staying away from any personal debts.

Stay away from mortgages, stay away from car loans, stay away from any type of consumer debt.

Here's why you should stay away from these debts👇👇

overstimulation. seeing too many lifestyles, opinions, experiences outside of our own.

I’m entering hospice today. Will probably update every little if at all. But I wanted to say to be kind, be brave, be principled, be an idealist. Most importantly, be a decent human.

I love that we existed together, in this moment of time.

The proposed Livestock Bill 2024 introduced by Kikuyu legislator, @NAssemblyKE Majority Leader Hon. @KIMANIICHUNGWAH, will constitute a new Authority mandated to regulate inputs and products of all forms of livestock including cattle, pigs, poultry, bees, sheep, goats, and camels.

What Gen Z are saying (as I heard them):

1. That the President show empathy for the families of those killed & to those injured. That the killed & injured have names, families and friends. They are not statistics nor criminals. If the President can’t lead the Nation in mourning & grieving, who will?

2. That the President pronounces himself that the Police must respect the Constitution & end extrajudicial abductions & kidnappings. That the Police stop terrorism on citizens. And Police violating the Constitution must know that soon, they will be personally liable.

3. That it is not about taxation but fiscal discipline by Government. More money is wasted than is collected. Chief Economic Advisor says everywhere is leaking!

4. That it is not about roads or house or employment but public transparency & integrity in public offices.

5. That corruption, tribalism & nepotism be ended. One leader has employed all his relatives in Government.

6. That there be humility in public leadership. Hubris, arrogance & talking down on citizens should end. Mta-do is primitive & archaic.

7. That public theft ends. Leaders with known salaries are driving big cars, live in big houses, wear expensive watches, fly helicopters & give out millions every weekend with known salaries can’t afford them. And they flout traffic rules.

8. That the Soul of Country needs to saved. It is not about material things.

9. Moral responsibility is higher calling than criminal culpability. Leaders don’t need to be convicted before they are suffered. Chapter 6 of the Constitution is about MORAL RESPONSIBILITY not CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY.

PS. My advise to the President is out of knowing him since 1992 & coming from the same town & desiring him to succeed. It is made in good faith & outmost diffidence.

I dont know who bewitched some people in Kenya!! Lets talk about the Kenya Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Society Bill, 2023 which is INSANE, to say the least! That bill will set us back and leave Kenya behind in this unchartered yet very promising field. Lets talk, ok?

The UNICEF social experiment dressed the little girl as rich and poor. Everyone helped the rich, no one helped the poor..

Last year, I had a conversation that changed my life.

It caused me to upend everything and move across the country.

The lesson from it may change yours:

[The People’s President @bonifacemwangi]

Thread of how broken our country is. I was at my barbershop when these young men walked in, with a GSU officer & arrested the receptionist. We asked them to identify themselves, they said they were from KRA but they didn’t have IDs. We asked them to call someone who had an ID.

THIS TERRIBLE INCIDENT happened on Sunday, August 8, in my Kitengela neighborhood, but it was not until yesterday that I heard about it.

Two brothers, Freddie Wanjiru 30, and Victor Wanjiru 25, left their home in Syokimau, Machakos County with their cousins on Saturday.

Thread on growth... #Copied

As you get older, you begin to zero down on your options. There’s a certain pruning that begins to happen. You begin entering an energy-saving mode.

Dropbox went from 100k registered users in Sept 2008 to 4m registered users by Dec 2009.

Mai Mahiu escarpment road section would market Kenya to the world more than all the billions we pour in international marketing.

But we are too lazy and uncreative to see the potential. Part 2
