We are spending trillions to educate our children YET we are not spending the same amount to ensure that when they finish school, they will have jobs. How do you fund the education ecosystem to the tune of 1.7T KES & give manufacturing, production, agriculture a combined 22B KES? Are we intellectually challenged that we can't see just how wrong this is?
HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE ๐ซจ
Sabastian Sawe becomes the first person ever to break the 2-hour barrier in official race conditions, storming to a historic 1:59:30โผ๏ธ
@KejelchaYomif, on his marathon debut, also breaks 2 hours with a stunning 1:59:41 and @jacobkiplimo2 clocks 2:00:28, also faster than the previous world record ๐ค
We must stop glamorizing shortcuts and start celebrating craft. A well made table a well written report a well executed plan these are the symbols of real pride.

As Africa tightens control over its mineral resources, mining professionals must upskill, boost local geological research, and innovate to meet stricter regulations and rising local content demands.

Sometimes I wonder whether people who want to be President of Kenya know what they would be getting into. Looking closely at Budget Estimates 2025-2026, picture this
1. Ksh 1.3 Trillion out of Ksh 4.2 Trillion will go to payment and servicing of debts as well as pensions. This is not negotiable and we can never default on that. The price to pay for our thoughtless expansionism in the past
2. Another Ksh 1.7 Trillion will go to finance RECURRENT Expenditure of the National Government . Of which Ksh 680 Billion is salaries for our bloated and inefficient civil service which you can not reform because JOBLESS Kenyans will go to the streets to defend the civil servants who contine to eat everything at the expense of the rest of Kenyans
3. Still on the National Government Recurrent Expenditure, we are officially a Communist Country. Karl Marx is very proud of us. Free Education, Pesa ya Wazee, Fertilisers, Health etc at a cost of Ksh 700 Billion. Ebu jaribu kugusa any of that . Ot to stop the Ksh 400 Billion that is transferred to useless and inefficient parastatals that you can not sell because courts will grant injunctions as freely as sweets in a Chrismas party.
4. And Counties are waiting. Ksh 405 Billion in equitable sharing , Ksh 59 Billion in Equalisation Fund and Ksh 10 Billion in Conditional Grants totalling to Ksh 471 Billion. Try negotiate that or question how that huge amount is spent and you are an enemy of devolution.
5. At the end of the day the only amount you can discretionary allocate for development is a paltry Ksh 291 Billion or 6.9% of the 4.2 Trillion. 93.1% you have no say.
Wishing all the best to all our beloved Presidential Candidates
Zephyr returns to the stratosphere! โ
This weekend, from its first launch and landing facility in Kenya, AALTO completed the first successful launch of Zephyr in 2025.
After climbing to 60,000ft, our solar-powered Zephyr has now been flying continuously over Kenya for over 48hrs. It remains the only fixed-wing HAPS to demonstrate day and night-time operations in the stratosphere.
Over the coming days, AALTO will be conducting its first tests from the stratosphere this year. It is a key milestone on our roadmap to utilise HAPS to provide connectivity and Earth observation services to those that need it most.
The establishment of an AALTOPORT in Kenya is unprecedented in the HAPS industry. Thanks to a pioneering regulatory landscape, a purpose-built Zephyr facility has been developed in Laikipia County in 2024. Through their support, national authorities led by the Kenya Space Agency and Kenya Civil Aviation Authority have demonstrated their vision to champion cutting-edge aerospace technologies.
Together with our partners, we have Taken Kenya Stratospheric.

I see nothing wrong with an artist performing for the state as a paid gig. If we argue they shouldnโt work for a perceived enemy,how is that different from doctors or teachers et al refusing to serve others based on political bias?What happened to democracy and freedom of choice?
