My dad retired in 1998 from Kenya Railways and is still faced with the delayed pension payments more than 2 decades later.
Retirement should come with dignity & peace of mind.
Retirees should not have to spend their retirement years chasing what they rightfully earned.
Let's have an honest discussion.
Why does the government punish retirees with delayed pension payments?
I see many retired teachers suffering. Travelling to Nairobi now and then. Queuing in NSSF offices. Chasing files.
All following up on pensions.
I mean, it is the same government that:
• Sent the teacher on retirement
• Stopped paying their monthly salary
• Knows exactly when they retired
• Has all their employment records
So why doesn't the pension start automatically the following month?
What exactly is the retiree following up?
What information is still missing?
Why should a retired teacher spend their sunset years chasing money they been contributing for decades?
What is wrong?
There are people who woke up early, not to go to work, but que in hospital. For DIALYSIS, for CHEMO, for AMPUTATION, for SURGERY and other for BURIALS. When you walk in the streets, mind your neighbour, don't push people. Be kind. Pray for others and thank God ALWAYS.
A 16 year old girl vanished from one of the most guarded girls schools in Kenya and the people running that institution are behaving like we are disturbing their peace by asking questions.
Read that again slowly.
A WHOLE CHILD disappeared.
Not outside a nightclub.
Not in a forest.
Not during chaos.
Inside a boarding school.
Inside St. Francis Mangu Girls in Kiambu County.
And what is shocking is not just the disappearance of Grace Wangare Thini.
It is the coldness.
The silence.
The arrogance.
The complete absence of urgency from people entrusted with children.
Grace disappeared on 10th April 2025.
The school only realised she was missing the following day after a teacher attending the third lesson noticed she was absent from class.
Meaning for hours nobody knew where she was.
Nobody checked.
Nobody panicked.
Nobody cared enough to immediately raise alarm.
This is a Form Four student living under school control, not an adult renting her own apartment in Nairobi.
So how does a child disappear from a highly secured boarding school without answers?
Today together with Maina Magret and Amos Koech we went to that school seeking one thing only:
Truth.
But what we found was walls.
The principal refused to face us.
The secretary redirected us like we were beggars asking for favours instead of citizens demanding accountability for a missing child.
Then came the deputy principal Mrs Gitonga in charge of curriculum.
The attitude alone told a story.
Arrogant.
Dismissive.
Defensive.
The kind of behaviour public officials display when they know something is wrong but believe ordinary Kenyans are too powerless to push further.
Simple questions became a problem.
Who last saw Grace?
Which teacher was on duty?
Which gate did she pass?
Was CCTV reviewed?
Were students questioned immediately?
Did she leave alone?
Was she assisted?
Why the delay in informing the parents?
No straight answers.
Only referrals.
Excuses.
Bureaucratic games.
They referred us to the Sub County Education Director over 40 kilometres away as if this is a paperwork issue and not a missing child crisis.
Meanwhile Grace’s parents are dying slowly.
Her father Mr Thini is battling hypertension from stress and emotional torture.
Her mother Eunice Wairimu is surviving on tears, prayers and hope.
Every day they travel from Naivasha near Wanyua Junction searching for answers no parent should ever beg for.
Imagine waking up every morning not knowing whether your daughter is alive, injured, kidnapped or dead.
Then imagine the institution responsible for her safety treating you like an inconvenience.
That is the cruelty this family is facing.
And Kenyans must stop normalising this madness.
A school cannot lose a child then hide behind offices and titles.
This country has become dangerously comfortable with institutional silence.
When poor families cry, powerful offices close ranks.
When children disappear, systems protect reputations first before human life.
That is why this case must not die.
The DCI, Ministry of Education, Child Protection agencies and every security organ in Kenya must move with speed and seriousness.
Because Grace Wangare Thini is not just another name.
She is somebody’s daughter.
And tonight somewhere in Kenya, two parents are staring at a silent phone praying it rings with news that their child is still alive.
In the last 24hrs, international flight giants like Qatar Airways, Emirates, and Etihad Airways have been making unexpected layovers in Nairobi after Middle East airspace closures caused by the ongoing US–Israel–Iran conflict.
Moments like this remind us that our geography is an opportunity. Kenya sits at a strategic global crossroads and it’s time our country invested boldly in world class airports on Major cities and aviation infrastructure. Not just for pride, but for trade, tourism, logistics, and economic power.
The world will always need alternative routes and safe hubs. The real question is will Kenya be ready when opportunity lands?
I watched a Kevin Hart interview recently where He talked about a time when he was struggling; his rent was due, eviction was close, and he was desperate for a solution.
He went to his mum for help, and instead of giving him money, she kept asking one question - "are you reading your Bible?"
Each time, he said yes. He was lying.
What he didn’t know was that his mum had already solved the problem. She had signed cheques and hidden them inside his Bible. The help he was crying for was sitting right in the place he claimed to be visiting, but wasn’t. The day he finally opened the Bible ti study, he found cheques, his answer waiting for him.
That story reminded me of a similar experience I had with my Dad when I was in JSS3, Junior WAEC period. Those days when exam students were always in school earlier than everyone else, staying back longer, tired, hungry, stressed. I remember my dad giving me my normal pocket money, and then still put extra cash inside my hard-copy new Bible without saying telling me about it.
I didn’t know until later.
I remember that I ran out of the normal pocket money and was struggling to keep up. On a Sunday morning we were going to the Chapel, and I carried my Bible along. It was in the middle of service I saw the money - it was about N5k or so. It felt like a miracle. How did I not see this. I quizzed and thanked God so much.
After the exams, when we were home, I asked my Dad why he did that, and he explained that sometimes we get carried away, even as children, and forget to spend time in the Word. Putting the money there was his own way of nudging me back. His own way of saying, "when you need something, go to God first."
I’ve never forgotten that.
Now that I think about it, both stories are saying a similar thing. Our parents were doing more than helping us financially. They were laying foundations, and teaching us that when life starts to press, when things are tight, when you’re confused or stuck, your first response should be God - go to the Word.
It's not because every time you open the Bible money will fall out, but because answers live there, you'll find direction there, and wisdom lives there too. Sometimes what you need may not be provision, it may be clarity or peace, or just strength to keep going.
And honestly, many times, what we’re praying about is already waiting for us in the Word of God we say we believe, but don’t always remember to go back to.
I think one of the most beautiful legacies we can leave for our children, or live out, is a life that keeps returning to God. Not only when things scatter, but all the time. Because the more we go back to Him, the more we realise that He’s been there all along, with answers we didn’t know we needed.
If you're currently being pressed by life, go to the word of God. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you the actual verse that holds the answer that you need. You'd be surprised how much solutions you'd find in the word of God.
