Which asset are you adding to your portfolio in 2026?
If they don’t involve you, step back; if they don’t tell you, don’t ask; if they don’t invite you, don’t go; if they don’t value you, don’t stay. Know your place in people’s lives. It’s not ego—it’s self-respect.
Gloves off now.
President Ruto fires at the opposition:
Kalonzo Musyoka: "Your only achievement is grabbing NYS land and building a small prison."
Rigathi Gachagua: "You cannot lecture us after stealing relief food meant for orphans."
Fred Matiang'i: "You are sleeping in meetings. When are you holding a memorial service for the River Yala victims?"
"The problem with Education systems of many African countries is that we have acquired obsession with degrees but we don't ask ourselves what is the content of the degrees that we are issuing,"
-Prof. PLO Lumumba
Schools like Makini served a niche market… parents who valued a local curriculum but with some cushion and amenities that they could not get in public schools.
However, it now looks like these parents are exiting local Kenyan CBC curriculum into foreign Cambridge curriculum.
This may leave local curriculum education for those who can’t afford the escape? Troubling.

Cow foot soup, also known as KIGERE or MLOKONI, is one of the most nutritious traditional broths.
Before collagen powders were sold in fancy containers, our grandparents were drinking KIGERE.
When most people see the hoof, they walk away!
The tendons, cartilage, ligaments, skin, and connective tissues in the cow's foot are rich in collagen, gelatin and calcium.
When cooked, these compounds dissolve into the soup, creating a thick, nourishing broth.
Cow hoof soup is traditionally given to recovering patients, postpartum mothers, babies and the elderly.
Collagen and gelatin provide amino acids that support the repair of joints, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, skin, and connective tissues throughout the body.
For men whose knees crack when climbing stairs, whose backs ache after a long day, or whose recovery after exercise takes longer, then kigere is the traditional broth for healing and recovery.
