In 2003, Nyanza had the highest under-five deaths in the country, at 206 deaths per 1,000 live births.
In 2025-26, Nyanza had caught up with the rest of the country.
One category of professional on this continent that I am truly terrified of is the Kenyan Development Expert.
He/She is always the FIRST African to adopt and rationalise anything that comes from the wazungu in suits, no matter how extractive or dystopian.
If the European slave trade resumed today, you can bet your house that there will be a Kenyan Development Expert overseeing the barracoons, using terms like "Supervised Human Talent Relocation" and "Involuntary Personnel Transshipment".
Like his cousins the Nigerian tech founder and the Senegalese NGO director, he has no concept whatsoever of general or localised African interest, and his mental environment is one of the most selfishly, abominably capitalist places on earth.
These guys fill my soul with actual terror. I'm genuinely scared of them.
"Non Revenue Water" fucking hell...
Non Revenue Water is crippling the Water Service Providers - Capacity building, Trainings, Deployment of Water Police Unit, network modeling and smart metering are some of the measures to control the losses
Sometimes Americans drink strange things. People like billionaire Elon Musk alone spent nearly $500M and still couldn’t buy a Parliamentary majority for the hitherto ruling Republicans. Hell, I know places where that would not just purchase Parliament, but the President, and a quarter of the country- at a discount. Very inefficient deployment of capital right there😉
Let's unite Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania and Congo and our great nation will be (ZIMATACO) if we can add Zambia and Kenya it's going to be (ZIMATACOZAKE)
"I am on 7 months without a salary, on the verge of financial ruin, at the mercy of landlords and creditors. No Board has removed me as the CEO yet the World Bank are just sitting there, driving me to the verge of a mental breakdown. All so that they can take control of the Board and acquire the company at a depressed price. Employees are praying and fasting daily wondering when the siege will end."
