Obilo Ng'ong'o~ Alliance Française is more than just a French initiative, it’s also driven by local efforts and cultural support. In Kisumu, the recent charter was made possible through the efforts of Governor Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o

I was asleep and a business idea has come to me in a dream. Hear me out.

I have this land that is in my name. I want 20 people to contribute money so I can build 20 houses. After the houses are done, I will sell them to other people and buy more land.

The 20 guys will continue contributing while I build more houses. If any of them want a house they will pay the same as those not contributing .

I will call it "Affordable Housing."

@AsegoLav If Kenya qualifies for semis in Valladolid, they'll be relegated to 7th place playoff... coz World Rugby may decide to still consider points gained in the pool stage in HongKong!! Anything is possible at this rate.

@SVNSSeries Why do the losing Cup Quarter finalists not get the opportunity to play out to secure their league ranking & standing points? - It’s grossly unfair as 1-4 & 9-12 play out for their ranking but not 5-8🤷🏻‍♂️ - Jobs & programs are on the line - Feel for @OfficialKRU Mens 7s

What is happening with KRA?

KRA audited Katahira & Engineers International Limited and raised a tax demand of 140M.

Katahira went to court and won. The tax demand was killed.

You would think that is the end

KRA returned to Times Towers empty handed. Extremely angry. Swearing.
Hiyo 140M haiwezi enda hivo. Aje?

They hatched a plan. Ikaingiana perfectly.

They deployed agency notices to NCBA and Stanbic banks. With stern instructions:

- Freeze all Katahira accounts
- Sweep the money and forward to KRA
- Up to 140M

Katahira directors woke up the next morning. As usual, chai ya kazini ndio hua inabamba. So they didn't take tea at home.

At work, they tried to send money for tea. Accounts are frozen.

They thought, KRA made an error to freeze our accounts.

They served KRA and the banks with the court order that had already killed the tax.
And asked them to unfreeze the accounts.

KRA said they don’t want to see it. Wao wanataka tu 140M.

Angry and with caffeine induced headache,
Katahira ran to court again.

The court could not believe it.

It bashed KRA for disobedience of it's orders. And ordered the accounts to be unfrozen.

They were unfrozen.

Unfortunately, the court did not award legal costs to Katahira.

What is happening at KRA? And who is accountable?

@BernardNdong Unpopular opinion: Bringing in the women's tourney ... and struggling with the same budget for a 16-team tournament... that is where the rain started beating the series.
To accommodate women's tourney, they had to sacrifice the heart of the series: The (exciting) underdogs.

My Duolingo French is showing me dust.

You think you know a language until those who know the language speak the language.

All you hear is Bonjour at the start, D'abord after 3 minutes, and Merci after 30 minutes.

In between, all your brain decodes when they speak is hhaufhizxjkcgaf`bifbckj!

And you then admit, "I need to go back to Alliance Francais.

@amerix Wueh! Not a joke.
I tore rthe supraspinatus tendon, underwent surgery in January, and yet to regain full function of the shoulder.
Gym suspended to January next year. Right now, simply brisk walking regularly and OMAD are keeping me from returning to obesity.

Oburu Oginga: We only have one leader of the Luo community at a time, and there is nowhere the person is elected. For the one who will lead us, like Raila led us in the Luo community, in which forum was he elected? We do not elect the Leader of the community. That leader just sprouts like a mushroom. You will just see someone emerge and easily take up that mantle, but the person is not among Raila's peers, like us. There are young people coming up and ready to lead, you will just see the leader emerge among these young leaders.
