@EmmanuelMotelin @WilliamsRuto Are those cycling and walking lanes nicely done and demarcated?

[Eng. Eric Mugaa @mugaa_eric]

Today, I held a meeting with the State Department for Performance and Delivery Management in Kenya, tasked with embedding performance management in the public service and overseeing government entities' performance.

The team reviewed and validated the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation’s performance contract for the 2025/26 cycle (22nd cycle) to ensure alignment with established guidelines and national development priorities, including Kenya’s Vision 2030 and the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda.

This vital process enhances accountability and efficiency, ensuring public resources are effectively utilized to deliver clean water, improved sanitation, and sustainable irrigation, empowering communities and driving inclusive economic growth across Kenya.

@BravinYuri It's definitely a creative way to get us talking. Sounds like a book or something. I'd love to read the content and not judge it by it's cover.

Moi University is closing down as a result of mismanagement and the vast land it occupies might just be transformed into a maize farm and cattle ranch by someone who never went to University but has a degree.

@KeinoNahor Drop all these guys who are busy abusing people.

[Kipsaro Boit @kipsaro_boit]

@KeinoNahor These guys making a lot of noise are making the conversation silly. Why can't you listen to Waziri to the end?

PUBLIC SAFETY ALERT ON CYCLONE HIDAYA

1. Scientific tracking of Cyclone Hidaya has established that the Cyclone has now acquired full status with the capability of remaining so until it hits the Coasts of Kenya and Tanzania any time now.

2. The Cyclone could generate massive precipitation with strong winds and powerful waves capable of significantly disrupting normal activities within Kenya’s territorial waters in the Indian Ocean as well as human settlements along the Kenyan Coast.

3. The Government cautions members of the public engaged in fishing, swimming and leisure activities within Kenya’s territorial waters and the beaches of Kwale, Mombasa, Kilifi and Lamu Counties that available scientific information points to the possibility of risk to life and property within these areas.

4. As a precautionary measure, activities within Kenya’s territorial waters, along the beaches and within settlements adjacent to the shoreline will have to be disrupted for public safety reasons.

5. Accordingly, the County Security and Intelligence Committees (CSICs) of Kwale, Mombasa, Kilifi and Lamu Counties in collaboration with the Kenya Coast Guard Service (KCGS) are directed to immediately issue notices and to strictly enforce a ban on beach activities, fishing, swimming, non-essential transport within Kenya’s territorial waters and evacuate settlements deemed too close to the shoreline effective today, May 4, 2024 at 5.00pm up to and until midnight on Monday, May 6, 2024 when Cyclone Hidaya is expected to expire.

This is also my suspicion with the practice of religion. When we are on vacations having the times of our lives, there are no long captions about God’s mercy. But the moment we’re in need, the moment we want something—to be better than others—we become fervent.

[Mr. Possible @Mrpossidez]

Crazy how nobody cares about your intellect, knowledge, or character if they don’t make you rich or powerful. Some people do, but society, as a whole, has a way of punishing the poor & helpless. The day you come to terms with this, you almost want to cry. You chin up and work.

[Kipsaro Boit @kipsaro_boit]

@Africa_Archives Do I disagree with him? NO. Our African Nations should invest and support talents instead of seeking affiliation after one has through it all to the limelight.

[C-say @MarvinSissey]

Peace of mind.

When things get tough, especially economically, frustration tends to generally set into society and the first culprit of this change of mood is “peace of mind”.

More than anything else, the modern capitalist society has somehow convinced us that happiness and money are synonymous.Because we are naturally in pursuit of happiness, we seek it by mostly seeking more money.

While money is an enabler of convenience, it’s not really a source of happiness per se. Obviously, it’s not a lesson most of us ever really appreciate unfortunately until we get at least some money. I am not too rich myself, but at least I can confirm that I may have gotten enough (at least by societal standards) to prove this theory right .

Don’t get me wrong, there is a level of income necessary for one to live within acceptable modern comforts and this is generally desirable.

But it is not the externalities of life that define our mood and peace of mind. Happiness mostly is an aspect of balance between expectations and reality. Regardless of how much you get , for as long as you expect more , you will feel short. And one thing is guaranteed, you will always expect more.

Even Elon Musk , the richest man in the world m, might not be necessarily the happiest man in the world. He is probably troubled and facing his own internal demons. Having conquered Earth (economically at least) he is still keen to conquer Mars. But beyond that , he is probably facing the same challenges every ordinary man faces . Of family. Of friendships. Of health. Of validation of his social status. Of his peace of mind.

In short , do not mistake your change of income fortunes to really determine your happiness. Because that is a never ending facade whether the turn is positive or negative .

When things become tough, as they are wont to from time to time, like now when you have an incompetent government in place, you will find that having to make economic adjustments will be tough. But what you really will be coming to terms with is not making the economic adjustments but rather the mental adjustments. At least until the next elections when you can adjust your choices at the ballot.

Because you care a lot about not how you are going to deal with but how ‘others will view you’, a change of economic fortunes can really cause a lot of mental anguish. Many, especially men, easily give up and some even become suicidal.

Tough economic challenges can be tough mentally. But it should build resilience not despair. Adjust your wants but not your happiness.

When things get tough, it’s a good time , to learn from animals as they do during winter. Hibernate . Operate lean. Innovate . Think. Wait.

Because regardless of how cold the winter becomes, spring is always around the comer . And the sunshine of summer will soon set upon us.

The seasons may change . But you remain a constant factor . Adjust to the seasons, but do not let the seasons define you .

Happiness is internal. Seek it within.

Peace of mind is not a matter of pieces of silver. There is a silver lining , regardless of how few the pieces of silver become. Knowing that, is golden!

Shalom!

@MarvinSissey This is such a great article! Thank you for sharing.

@edwinsifuna In all honesty.. @MusaliaMudavadi is right.

[Edwin Sifuna @edwinsifuna]

I rarely agree with Omwami Musalia. But on this one we are together.

[Kipsaro Boit @kipsaro_boit]

@WanjikuHSC You cannot fool us all the time and expect us to fall for your twisted truths.

[Kipsaro Boit @kipsaro_boit]

@MutuaLoyd @KindikiKithure This is absolutely true.. it needs to be checked ASAP

[Mercy Jerop @MercyCherop4]

We should never relent to strengthen calls for strategic dialogues on long-term solutions to #EndGBV in Kenya. Let us advocate for and embrace non-violent means of conflict resolution in our homes. #createsafespaces
