I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Haji Hassan Ega-Musa, who died at his home in Eastleigh last night at the age of 96 and was laid to rest this afternoon at Lang’ata Muslim Cemetery.
Haji Hassan lived a long, happy and full life. He was an important pillar of our community, and he will be deeply missed. For those of us who knew him, Eastleigh feels a little quieter today.
He was the last patriarch of the Ega-Musa family, Somali pioneers who helped establish Eastleigh estate and put down deep social and economic roots in Nairobi and across Kenya at the turn of the last century. Their story is part of our story.
I send my heartfelt condolences to his family and to the wider Ega-Musa family here at home and around the world. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of grief.
May Allah grant him Jannatul Firdaus.
Kabonyo Fisheries and aquaculture project was a sh2.5B loan taken in 2023 from Hungary, instead of providing 7 million fingerlings every year as promised its now a sheep grazing ground but we're completing the loan in October 2026 without the nonexistent project ever taking off
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un,
Surely, Allah takes what is His, and what He gives is His, and to all things He has appointed a time.
I am deeply saddened to hear the death of Mama Fatuma Mohamed Mire today in wajir, Ayeyo Fatuma was ayeyo to many and loved by many in wajir. May Allah accept her good deeds.
May Allah forgive her and make jannatul firdous her abode and give the family sabr.
Tsavo WE4141 Hybrid Maize
Producer: Western Seed Company Ltd.
Maturity: 85–95 days
Rainfall: 250–600 mm
Yield: Up to 25 bags (90 kg) per acre GAPs
Produces abundant grain and high biomass stover, making it an excellent dual-purpose variety for food and livestock feed.
My best bet especially for arid areas is maize, wheat & trees (fruits & others). Beans, kunde and other cereals or horticultural crops will get destroyed by excessive moisture and limited sunshine.
Livestock will definitely do well with all the pastures in the fields. Just ensure they're vaccinated/treated against diseases such as RVF, foot/mouth diseases that come with extremely wet weather conditions.
Ethiopia just earned $3 billion from coffee exports, though it is Africa's second-largest exporter behind Uganda, which reported $2.4 billion in April.
The reason for this earnings gap comes down to quality and bean type. Approximately 80% of Uganda's exports consist of lower-priced Robusta beans, which are easier to grow but fetch a lower price globally. Ethiopia, however, exports almost 100% premium Arabica coffee.
Because Ethiopia is the biological birthplace of Arabica, its beans are highly prized for their superior flavour, allowing them to command a massive price premium. Combined with recent quality reforms, Ethiopia makes far more money despite shipping a smaller physical volume of coffee. When will Uganda turn the tables?
🚨 After building a detailed business case for fattening 110 shoats, I've reached some hard truths:
A). Less than 250 shoats per cycle is hardly a commercial venture.
B). You cannot achieve more than 2 cycles per year.
C). A 110-shoat enterprise requires at least 12 acres ..

My kid-bro received a text message purportedly from @ntsa_kenya for overspending … As a dutiful citizen, he paid the fine to the account at @KCBInKenya given by NTSA .. The account is in the name of CATHERINE JERONO TOMNO …. The law doesn’t allow Government institutions to open bank accounts in the names of individuals. Is NTSA exempt?

Somaliland exported 1.3 million sheep and goats, and 50,00 camels to Saudi Arabia & UAE in the peak Eidul Adha period this year. By volume, this is the largest meat export trade in the world. But Somaliland only earned circa $650 million. By contrast, Australia would've earned $3-5 billion exporting a quarter of the numbers before it banned livestock exports to the Gulf, in a fit of animal welfare Woke ideology. A nimble, dynamic Somaliland would've seen the opportunity, and grasped it to cement and increase in it's market share. It was an open goal, and we did not even see it.
