In The Standard's Leaders Corner, NuPEA CEO CS Justus Wabuyabo responds to the article "Sh250 billion nuclear gamble puts Siaya on edge amid safety fears." He states that Kenya's nuclear programme has followed the IAEA Milestone Approach for over a decade.
@JustusWabuyabo also explains that modern Generation III+ reactors use passive safety systems, and that the safety of Siaya and Lake Victoria basin residents remains our highest priority.

This is the marginalisation we are talking about when we say that the state of roads and infrastructure in Luo Nyanza cannot be understood without examining the historical and political circumstances that shaped it.
Michela Wrong, in It’s Our Turn to Eat, write about how, during President Kibaki’s administration, MPs and political constituencies aligned with the President’s inner political circle were able to access greater development resources than those associated with the opposition.
This is not unique to his administration. For decades, Kenya’s political economy has been characterised by an uneven distribution of state resources, with regions perceived to be politically aligned with the government benefiting disproportionately, while opposition strongholds have struggled to receive comparable attention and investment.
Devolution has helped correct some of these historical imbalances, but it has not completely eliminated them. The national government still controls the largest share of public resources and retains significant influence over major infrastructure projects, including national roads.
Therefore, when we look at the poor state of infrastructure in Luo Nyanza, we cannot simply reduce the conversation to the performance of devolution or the dalliance of Luo Nyanza with Ruto for 3 years. We must first interrogate the historical political patterns of resource allocation that helped produce the situation we see today.
And this is why Luos must not be guilt-tripped into exiting the Ruto government by those who presided over decades of Luo underdevelopment.
When a nationwide power blackout brought much of the country to a standstill, Kiambu refused to go dark.
The Kiambu’s bus parks and other public spaces remained illuminated by our newly installed solar streetlights.
Kiambu County Government-Kenya has already installed 12,000 solar streetlights in the first phase, with another 12,000 set to be installed during this financial year.

Reading about Madimples plan to spend Kes 1T digging underground tubes for a metro.
Does he realises that it's way way waaaaaaay cheaper to just construct "skytrains" in the medians of the major arteries of the city?
Dude trying to sound sophisticated bure.
We've become so used to driving in darkness that even one working lamp feels like government overdelivery. That's how deeply we've normalised mediocrity. @KenyaPower_Care@KenyaPower@SakajaJohnson tunaumia.
At this point, a Nairobi road with working streetlights deserves an official opening. 😂 Mention ONE road where the lights actually work consistently. I'm genuinely curious.
Kenya's Road Design Manual clearly indicates that footbridges don't belong on urban streets:
"Footbridges should be avoided except when crossing limited-access Class A highways since they are inconvenient, inaccessible, and unsafe."
