Raila Youth Service (RYS)

I have sat down and thought very deeply on how Raila’s energy on demonstrations can be turned into a positive thing for this country especially youth employment. And that’s why I propose the establishment of Raila Youth Service (RYS) . RYS will be in charge of all Raila demos across all the 47 counties .This body will ensure that all Raila demos are successful nationwide such that anytime he asks for all Kenyans to demonstrate there will be presence in all regions even in areas which he doesn’t have political love . For this to be successful I propose that any young person who is in RYS to be paid Kshs 10,000 for every demo that he or she participates in. So for example if one participates every Monday on IEBC demos then he or she is assured of Kshs 40,000 every month. This means that a member of RYS can make Kshs 40,000 a month for four days only and use the rest of the 26 days or so to invest that money in business or something else. For the next 60 weeks before elections a young person can make Kshs 600,000 for the next 15 months. This will go a long way in supporting youth Employment in this country and providing the much needed opportunities for young people. As MPs we should look into this proposal and see what we can allocate Baba during this Year’s budget so that he can run RYS with much ease and contribute to youth Empowerment ! RYS will be defending the constitution as well as providing its members with employment and a livelihood .

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
