Good move. National pride and flag especially in 'New Singapore' (Kenya) does not pay bills.
More seriously, in Kenya the talent pool is so vast that a world class athlete will miss out on world championships during national trials so why not try your luck elsewhere.
Ni kama tukishatoka block na mzee Maraga 2027, CS swali ikikua ngumu kwa TV atakua anajibu 'umbwaa, jidishi'

I have a theory, our annual Christmas migration is also as a result of colonialism. It was the one time men working in the White farms and the towns and cities could go home and see their wives and families because their masters were also on vacation.
I'm actually tired of this conversation so this is the last thing I'll say about this matter:
Nobody. Outside. Africa. Fucking. Cares. What. "Tribe." You. Are.
In the eyes of the people who rule the planet, and whose will generally tends to become the planet's reality, there is no difference between Ikechukwu Alobam from Nigeria, West Africa and Dennis Mshomba from Tanzania, East Africa.
You are both "natives" of a continent that they consider to be "empty" (because they do not consider its inhabitants human), and which they fully intend to physically recolonise as soon as it is materially possible.
You are ALL in mortal danger, and the killers stalking you don't know or care that there is a difference between Swahili and Ibibio. They really couldn't give a shit because as far as they're concerned, it's all just incomprehensible ooga booga tongue-clicking nonsense grunted by tree-swinging, spear-chucking savages.
You have much bigger problems to worry about than which similarly poor and deprived person that looks just like you is from which "tribe," especially when many of these "tribes" themselves are colonial creations that offer very little except a platform to fight other poor people and continually miss the bigger context of your true place in the world and what is happening in it.
If you people cannot find the mental strength to get over yourselves and move on from this eternally unprofitable and colonially contrived "tribal identity" thing, we're all going to die, including me.
You've just spent 15 months watching the return of unapologetic oyibo settler colonialism next door to Africa, and you're not seeing the writing on the wall. You're still hung up on which fellow poor person comes from which "tribe."
Mosquitoes will not save us this time.
This is an environment officer in Nairobi County. I love his approach to his job - informing, correcting and educating.
Because the usual Kenyan approach is the punitive colonial relic - arresting, fines and jail.
Hopefully this new approach leads to actual changed behavior.
