The irony of royalty playing a song that says

"Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving
They just use your mind and they never give you credit

It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it
And you spend your life putting money in his wallet."

"There are seven paths presented to working Kenyans:

1. get a government job

2. become a contractor for the government

3. seek employment in a foreign multi-national corporation operating here

4. try your luck in entrepreneurship

5. go abroad, become a drug dealer

6. attempt to become white, or to copy someone else’s dream.

7. be unemployed, starve and die."

Very well written essay by @EricMahasi

Can we start asking whether public money should first provide water, electricity and schools in Lodwar before we spend KSh 900 million on a stadium that may sit largely empty for much of the year?

@theCroc54 @voouma @MwendaKev 2030 is in approx 3 years. So what next? More AHP?

@theCroc54 @voouma @MwendaKev Are they permanent jobs? How much tax do the jobs remit monthly? What happens to the 600k after the buildings are done?

Take a day. Any random day. Walk around Nairobi. See the people who hang around those parks/green spaces. See what they eat. What they snack on. See the people who sell to them. These are places they earn, relax and pass time. These places (third spaces) matter.

I am on record here saying that this country can not be reduced to operating on the intelligence of one head, it defeats the purpose of elaborate government structures. It is therefore very refreshing to hear someone say "I don't know, I am not an expert in that", as opposed

First of all, education for transferring elite status is a colonial view of education. That's why the colonial state and institutions like IMF and World Bank keep telling African governments to reduce the availability of education. The elitism comes from scarcity of knowledge, not from the availability of knowledge. And that's because the colonial state uses knowledge for elite formation, when knowledge should instead be for work.

Two, specific questions about the budget are not critical, in my view. Being told that a public budget line is none of the citizen's business should be the first point of outrage. That's a political statement that is not acceptable. The details of where the money is going is really neither here nor there.

Three: one doesn't require of technical expertise like knowledge of budgeting to see misuse of public funds. Ordinary Kenyans see it for themselves when rich people donate millions at harambees and they can't afford healthcare and school fees.

Do it.

Do it short. Do it broken. Do it uncertain. Do it tired. Do it irregular. Do it hungry. Jaded. Pleading. Crying. Wailing. Do it anyway.

Again I say. This should only be for ex cons. We cannot continue to assume that the entire population is guilty until proven innocent by the most corrupt apparatus in Kenyas history.

Obviously the refinery cannot be approved for construction without an ESIA and ESMP. Why are these guys getting ahead of themselves?

We have not even done the preliminary designs, set it out on the exact location and determined the various utilities needed and the source

I don't get it

Normal, caring, intelligent people have inherent dignity that pursues competence. The majority politician is a charlatan, whose real pursuit is validation of a dignity they do not possess or sense of control that eludes them. Hence the theater & ostentatious display of wealth.
