Never felt so defeated and powerless as a Kenyan. 💔

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

You may have noticed that the word for ‘night’ in many languages appears to be that language’s word for ‘eight’ with an ‘N' in front of it.

English: N + eight = Night
German: N + acht = Nacht
French: N + huit = Nuit
Spanish: N + ocho = Noche
Italian: N + otto = Notte
Portuguese: N + oito = Noite

Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Don't leave this world without reading Justice Mwamuye’s decision on the President’s advisors.
It addresses executive overreach, affirms sovereignty of the people, insists on prudent use of public resources, and defends the independence of commissions.Also, peep at the remedies🤗

@SKibuchi @TheMaxyNe @benjahmins He was so good at it. Mr. Mutua, God rest his soul, wouldn't stop praising him.

Happy to see strategic communication in play.

Exploring my new hometown beginning with a visit to Nairobi’s amazing Karura Forest. This urban oasis stands as a tribute to Kenyans like Wangarĩ Maathai, who understood the vitality of preserving forests and natural spaces.

I have been following the emerging fallout between the President & Parliament & this here is my highlight so far.

The legislator here was asking whether there's anything this Parliament hasn't done for the President (emphasis on "FOR THE PRESIDENT").

"This President gave us a Finance Bill (2024) that was very unpopular, we passed it FOR HIM. This President gave us the Housing Levy that was very unpopular, we passed it FOR HIM. This President has asked us to pass SHA, we sat here until 10:00pm & passed it FOR HIM. What haven't we done FOR HIM? What has this parliament not done FOR THE PRESIDENT that he now has to come & bastardise us. Let him do his job"

This right here is the problem some of us have been flagging for years - Parliament simply forgot its job & whose brief it holds in that House. Separation of powers doesn't exist, checks & balances are a rumour.

@WangariWaMwaura Happy birthday, beautiful.

Breaking news: The Govt of Kenya has paid Ksh 16M (approx. $124K) to 4 of the 8 survivors in Petition 122 of 2013, marking the first time in Kenya’s history that survivors of conflict-related sexual violence are receiving official compensation.

[Dr. Njoki Ngumi @njokingumi]

I hate EVERYTHING about this framing. To say that "this is the one thing that protected me" AT A TIME LIKE THIS when we are on the cusp of finally uncovering how deep and wide this abuse of minors in school goes, is STILL victim blaming, but done politely with a soft voice.

The person is getting a lot of stick for using a "word sandwich," and I can see why.

I remember providing spokesperson training to senior managers of a Fintech company who had similar struggles addressing different audiences.

The language you use at a corporate roundtable must be different from outreach communication.

Complex words turn off audiences. You must think about what you mean and take corporate or C suite jargon off and replace it with relatable language

For instance:
"Direct-to-learner training" → "Bringing training directly to you, whether you are in Kangundo or Taveta"

"Skilling" → "Helping you learn practical AI skills for your career ( whether you are a content creator, architect or even a teacher)

"Scale" → "Reaching as many Kenyans as possible to make a bigger impact."

In a sentence: "This program is about making AI training accessible to every Kenyan from Taveta to Bumala, teaching real skills you can use whether you are a farmer or content creator, and ensuring we reach as many people as possible."

Everyday language is what makes complex communication relatable.

Simplify. Humanise.

In public communication, talk to your grandma, not your masters supervisor.
