Nikiona hizo As nahuzunika tu,mimi nilipata strong A,nikatop a county and among the top in country,nikatokea kwa gazeti na nikaingia Equity bank then medical school. 5 years later post University medical school I survivive on gigs because I have never found a good opportunity to effectively utilize my skills and capabilities effectively. Sijawahi kuwa na payslip my entire life,hata pesa ya CBA madaktari wanalipwa siko kwa hio mix because I have never been employed by the government and despite my lack of connections, I said I’ll never bribe anyone for a county or government job. My entire life post Campus has been kutafuta huku na kule na sukuma twende.The whole point of this post is to tell you to advice those kids to enroll in self sustaining courses and universities globally that allow creativity and innovation. I turned down Ivy League universities for UoN medical school and my peers the like of Nalianya are building robots in Texas and my classmate @CKalekem doing great things in tech huko PA. This is the reality that our government has no plan for us the youth that’s why you hear the bullshit that A students work for C/D students in a mediocre society. A students should be building startups,solving problems in our society and employing people in different sectors of the economy like functional states do. Some of us learnt this reality late but those kids can have a chance early. Sisi tuliuziwa Actuarial science and Medicine as the future let’s sell them STEM and autonomy as the future! A students should be bettering our society not working for C/D students.

Fear Kenyans,

Today in Taita Taveta, Ruto was so angry!

He was so mad that you made him cancel the Adani SCAM!

He was so angry that you have so far given him no opportunity for corruption in this country!

He even had Joho threatening to come for all Kenyans on social media.

I say turn up the heat, dear Kenyans!

Bado anapumua!

@RealOmtatah Could this be the worst parliament we have even had - not necessarily a very smart bunch of people's representatives, as apart from a few smart minds with substance, most just there to capture rents by virtue of their position, privilege, vendeta, emotions, and a powerful vote.

The erratic and self-interested behaviour of UNSC members has contributed to an explosion of humanitarian needs that is now outpacing humanitarian organizations’ ability to respond #AbolishtheVeto #UNGA79

Lula. What a guy.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

WOW!!

Every word of @CornelWest's speech about Gaza and Israel's slaughter of Palestinians. And Biden's cowardice.

The harrowing investigation I and colleagues @Oxfam worked on is out:

A story of babies imprisoned in hospitals

A story of dead bodies refused release

A story of rich nations’ taxpayers’ cash channelled via financial institutions to prop up private healthcare profiteers

Firstly, it's equity, not equality. Equality is an impossibility.

Secondly, equity is desirable, critical imperative even, but value for present contributions is the priority.

We can't talk of equity in contributions when wanton theft at NHIF deny contributors value paid for.

[@TisaKenya @TISAKenya]

Earlier today, the @OkoaUchumi_KE team led by @TISAKenya and @IBPKenya appeared before the Public Debt and Privatization Committee to make submissions on the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill 2023.

[John Kitui @JohnKitui]

@MwangoCapital The shareholder logic in government has killed the social contract norm, with enrichment of politicians in power and their election financiers, while the masses are stoned on religion and lullabied by divisive "hustler" promises and policies. What tragicomedic days we are living!

[David Ndii @DavidNdii]

Government is wasteful. And this administration has an itchy feet problem.

#FinanceBill2023 Has he gone far enough? Housing Tax must be totally scrapped.

[#Daughter of Africa🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 @dianagichengo]

The 2019 census data by @KNBStats showed that 61.3% of the Kenyan people occupy home dwellings they owned.
Those renting are 39% , then the priority of the government becomes housing levy to address the housing problem?
Is there new data provided by KNBS?

“Households with disposable incomes have shrunk and those with income have shrunk even further. The pressure with the Finance Bill is that it is shrinking that disposable income even further - which compounds the inflationary impact that has been there.” [11/n]

Africa is touted as one of the mineral-richest continents with rare and invaluable types of natural resources.

However, an intriguing debate on how effective its mineral economy is continues to dominate.

Save! the date and join the debate!

Malawi has been battered by two cyclones and huge external economic pressures. They have less than 1 month of reserves. Yet they have to pay $200 million to private creditors this year.
