Soldiers in The Sahel Alliance (Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger) are attempting to address Africa’s economic problems more than graduates of Oxford and Harvard.

"Hauwezi kuweka mizania sawa ya maslahi ya watu ambao hawalingani. Huwezi ukaweka mizania sawa ya mwekezaji na mnyonge, huwezi. Mnyonge anataka ardhi yake kwasababu ile ni uhai wake na mwekezaji anataka ardhi ili aweze kuchuma faida" - Prof. Shivji.

I’ve been all over the country in the last month.
And I get asked the same question, over and over again:

The impeachment cases in the High Court involving former DP GACHAGUA are now in their second week. Too much heat and sound and very little light. But the outstanding soundbite is Dr. Khaminwa telling Prof Githu Muigia (former Attorney General) to sit down for "when i started practising law, you were still breastfeeding."

That soundbite captured very important chapters of the history of the legal profession in Kenya in a single sentence.
