It is difficult to borrow money from people. They subject you to all manner of things, like passing sexuality laws, things that have nothing to do with the money you are looking for - Ruto
“We intend to enhance our manufacturing capacity, to build our human capital capacity in terms of training and technology transfer...” - President Ruto
Protests in Kenya against a planned US Ebola quarantine centre at a military base have turned deadly, with rights groups saying police killed at least 3 people.
Al Jazeera’s Malcolm Webb reports.
KSh 180M raised for one more mosque in Eastleigh among mushrooming of mosques in every corner, all while Muslim communities in North Eastern, Coast & parts of Nairobi face crushing poverty, for context; Mandera 72.9%, Garissa 67.8%, Wajir 64.7%, Turkana 82.7%. Leaders celebrating “biggest fundraising ever” for bricks & mortar while children go hungry, schools lack desks, and clinics have no medicine is a tragic missed priority.
Faith needs more than beautiful buildings. Prioritise hospitals, skills training & real economic empowerment. This obsession with mosques amid generational poverty explains why suffering persists instead this energy should shift to building more quality schools that actually equip children with skills to escape poverty or hospitals that meet the needs of our society. Time to shift focus.

Mohamed Ali: William Ruto was the DP for 10 years...If there was debt, stalled projects, corruption, or success he was there. You cannot sit at the dining table for 10 years, enjoy the meal and then later claim you were merely passing by the kitchen.
