@C_NyaKundiH It depends on which AI you're using. Chat GPT is not good for up to date or real time info.

Others like Grok and Google Gemini are good at this.

@LMan254 @ignyharaz2 Yeah

Trump’s administration is reportedly planning to send US citizens exposed to Ebola to Kenya for monitoring and care instead of returning them to the US, according to NYT.

Writing off X is a serious mistake.

Yes, Facebook, TikTok and Instagram have bigger mass reach on the ground, especially among ordinary voters. Nobody should deny that. But X is where the national conversation is shaped before it spreads elsewhere.

This is the app where journalists pick angles, bloggers test narratives, activists frame issues, politicians watch the mood, government people panic quietly, and decision makers see what is becoming dangerous before it reaches the estate, the matatu stage, the church group or the WhatsApp family group.

X may not have every voter, but it has a dangerous concentration of people who influence what voters later hear on radio, TV, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram and WhatsApp.

Great ideas often start here, get sharpened here, get attacked here, get defended here, then cross pollinate into other platforms. A slogan can be born here in the morning and become a TikTok sound by evening. A thread can become a radio topic. A screenshot can become a WhatsApp forward. A hashtag can force a newsroom to cover what it wanted to ignore.

So the serious campaign does not choose between X and the ground. It uses X as the war room for narrative, then pushes the message into Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp, radio and actual mobilisation.

The mistake is thinking voter numbers alone define power. Sometimes the app with fewer voters controls what the larger crowd will be discussing tomorrow.

You can dislike X. You can complain about its noise. You can even say some users here are unserious. But you cannot write it off. Never ever!

Almost every serious thinker in this country is here in one form or another. Journalists are here, lawyers are here, activists are here, policy people are here, political operatives are here, creators are here, government insiders are here, and the people who shape tomorrow’s public argument are here watching silently. X may not carry the whole voting population, but it carries the people who manufacture, test, sharpen and spread the ideas that later dominate the country.

Africa Forward Summit was so chaotic that President Kagame was stranded outside at some point. Total’s Global CEO was also blocked, and was seen yelling at security.

Some presidents & dignitaries left without speaking as things spiraled. Kenya (or France?) dropped the ball bigly

[Larry Madowo @LarryMadowo]

Would an African president shut up a noisy audience in France the way Macron did in Nairobi? Some Africans are outraged about the French president's paternalistic tone.

But some praise him for showing leadership. Was it rude, or was it the right thing to do?

BREAKING VIDEO: Kenya’s Sabastian Sawe becomes the first person ever to win a regular marathon in under two hours, setting a new world record at the London Marathon in 1:59:30!

Kenyans invented running™

[Sholla Ard 🇰🇪 @sholard_mancity]

My fellow Africans, look at the world:

Iran has oil & and refineries.
Russia has oil and refineries.
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait have oil and refineries.
They export refined oil products.

Now look at Africa:
Nigeria, Angola, Congo, and Sudan have oil but few to no refineries. We export crude… and import finished fuel.

Really?
Others refine and supply their regions.
Africa only exports and not even to its neighbors.

Africa needs to fix this now.

@PapaOmaido @Safaricom_Care Ulisaidika?

[Nelson Amenya @amenya_nelson]

Sakaja huwa fala hadi utashangaa he will not take this chance to even do things differently by;
a. Announcing county disaster preparedness
b. Advising people to leave work early or work from home
c. Map out flood prone areas and shut them down before the rains start
d. Give residents regular updates on the situation so nobody is caught off guard

Such simple things will reduce casualties and damage to cars and property. Also not sure if he took the time to map the areas that were most affected by the storm water so they can try and fix it. Mshenzi sana huyo gavana wenyu.

The President Is Out of Order.
The Office of the Auditor General is a constitutional office, not a department of State House. Dismissing a report that questions the loss of KES 50 billion from SHA undermines the Constitution itself.
KES 50 billion is not a clerical error. It is public money collected from the sweat of Kenyans.
To brush aside such findings insults every Kenyan who struggles to access healthcare while public resources disappear.
You cannot swear to protect the Constitution on Tuesday and tear it up on Wednesday because the truth hurts.

[Eric Muriuki @Benign_Overlord]

Pesa sio zako. You own the value in the legal tender, not the legal tender itself. The government owns that. The money is meant to circulate and when you tear it, you remove it from circulation without a replacement of equal value and this can cause inflation and other problems. .

@Wilo__one @premium I used KCB prepaid card. Also doesn't work on the web so I had to subscribe via app which is more than double the web price.

[Public Eye @iPubliccc]

@Wilo__one @premium Which card are you using? Mpesa virtual card is still being declined.

@omurusamuel22 @SabbirX0 How did you verify? I will appreciate your response. I'm facing the same issue

[Public Eye @iPubliccc]

@ignyharaz2 Why are we putting the word "Hon" before a politician's name? What honorable thing have they done to deserve that title. Even US hawana hii upuzi. Only the president and it's rarely

@Wilo__one @premium No idea
