Kenya Bitter Truth

For a middle-income country like Kenya to achieve sustained economic take-off (a phase of rapid industrialization and high growth), several key conditions must be in place. These draw from development economics (like Rostow’s stages of growth) and real-world policy lessons. Here's a concise summary: --- 1. Strong and Inclusive Institutions Rule of law, reduced corruption, and reliable governance. Efficient public service delivery (education, health, infrastructure). Stable political environment to attract investors. --- 2. Quality Infrastructure Transport: Roads, rail, ports to move goods efficiently. Energy: Reliable and affordable electricity. ICT: Widespread access to internet and mobile networks. --- 3. Human Capital Development Quality education and vocational training aligned with market needs. Health systems that ensure a productive population. Youth employment policies, given Kenya's young population. --- 4. Industrialization and Value Addition Shift from ra...

Our motherland kenya well being shouldn't be dictated by price exaggerated projects but it's basic needs satisfaction.The core mandate of any government should be: 1.Production support across the economy. 2.Provision and enabling access to education. 3.Provision of accessible and affordable health care. 4.Creating accessibility in terms of road infrastructure. 5.Creating an attractive environment for foreign investment.

In the realm of politics, few labels are as damning or enduring as "sellout." It evokes betrayal—of ideals, supporters, or even entire movements. A political sellout is typically someone who compromises core beliefs, often in exchange for power, wealth, or influence. While politics is inherently the art of negotiation and compromise, there's a fine line between pragmatic strategy and ethical surrender. The Anatomy of a Sellout Political sellouts are often former idealists who shift positions dramatically once they gain office or face pressure from donors, lobbyists, or party leadership. Their U-turns can be found in policy reversals, watered-down legislation, or silence in the face of injustice. What makes these betrayals sting is not just the change itself, but the perceived abandonment of the people and principles they once championed. Why Politicians Sell Out Access to Power: Aligning with the political mainstream or powerful interests often opens doors to commi...

`Introduction:` This is not just a text—This is a heart ablaze. A pulse. A gospel of love carved in the flesh of two souls who refused to let go. May the month be remembered, not for the flowers that bloom, but for two lovers who watered their love through storms. Let this be a trumpet call to all hearts: Real love, when done well, is a holy fire. _*A fire that doesn't burn down but builds up. A fire that sanctifies.*_ _*Her to Him:*_ `My love,` When I think of you, I think of a lion wrapped in velvet—strength wrapped in gentleness. They said fire and fire can only destroy, but you and I? We proved them wrong. We didn't just survive; we set the heavens aflame. > *“Many waters cannot quench love; neither can floods drown it.” —Song of Solomon 8:7* We’ve had days when the silence roared louder than our voices. Nights when your back was my only answer. But even then, I chose you. Like a rose rising through concrete, our love grew where it shouldn’t have. You picked me up when I...

My Dearest Daughter, As the sun rises over the hills of Limuru, casting golden rays upon the dew-kissed tea leaves, my heart swells with pride, hope, and the wisdom only a mother can carry. You, my beautiful girl, are in school, and while the world sees a student in uniform, I see a queen in the making. I see the grace of your grandmother, the fire of your ancestors, and the promise of a bright African dawn glowing in your eyes. This Easter, God granted me the sweet joy of bonding with you—not just as a mother—but as a woman who has walked a little further on this winding road of life. You may not know it yet, but in those laughter-filled mornings and quiet evening chats, a legacy was passed on: not of gold or silver, but of values, vision, and virtue. Let me speak to your soul now, daughter of mine. Listen with your spirit. In this life, my sweet child, “a child who does not listen to the mother’s advice will sleep with the flies” — a Ghanaian proverb as old as wisdom itself. The worl...

SON, The world you walk into is not always fair — but you must always be. There will always be noise — stay rooted in your truth. There will be shortcuts here and there— choose the long road; it builds real men. There will be fear — Walk anyway. Speak anyway. Love anyway. Wear kindness like armor, but let no one mistake it for weakness.✓ Work — not just to earn, but to become.✓ Dream — not just to escape, but to shape the world.(productivity)✓ When you fall (and sometimes you will), rise with dignity, not bitterness. When you win (and definitely will), carry your crown humbly. Character will carry you farther than talent ever will.🫰🏼 Respect will open doors money never could. 👍 And remember: Your last name is a story you inherit. Your first name is a story you write. Write it well, son. Always very proud of you before you even begin. — DAD

  _(A Spoken Word for the New School Term)_ _Tomorrow,_ The gates will creak open, The chalk will kiss the board, and the dreams of a nation will walk into classrooms, bright-eyed and unbroken. _Tomorrow,_ The pens shall dance, The books shall breathe, The corridors shall hum the ancient song of knowledge — The song that built empires, that freed hearts, that still calls us higher. _Teachers,_ Your hands do not merely hold chalk — they hold futures. "Wisdom is like a baobab tree; no one can embrace it alone." Yet daily, you stretch your arms wide, embracing generations. As Mwai Kibaki once said: > "Education is the key to unlock Kenya’s full potential." And you—guardians of that key— unlock destinies every sunrise. _Parents and Guardians,_ You u are the invisible architects of resilience, The silent champions behind every achievement. "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth." Embrace them still. Cheer them stil...

Time is not slipping away — we are! Time stands still like a mountain; it is we who drift like clouds. Every season is a divine appointment. Every opportunity to serve is a sacred chance to sow kindness, not selfishness. Wise souls lift others up. Fools tear others down. _"Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." — Psalm 90:12_ Real Life Example: Chadwick Boseman, even at the peak of his fame, battled cancer privately while lifting others with hope and encouragement. He left not just movies, but a legacy of courage and kindness. _STOP MEASURING YOUR JOURNEY WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S ruler._ The lion roars in the jungle; the shark reigns in the ocean. Neither tries to switch places, neither despises the other. _"But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another." — Galatians 6:4_ Real Life Example: In sports, Usain Bolt didn’t try to be a swimmer like Michael Phelps. He mastered his lane...

I met with Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and President William Ruto in Nairobi. They spoke with energy about Kenya’s future— investment, infrastructure, and public housing. But behind the polished language was a painful truth: there is no serious execution culture. Kenya’s real problem is not a lack of money or talent. It’s the absence of long-term vision and the dominance of short-term gain. Leaders talk big, but systems don’t move. They wait for outsiders to bring business, rather than build an environment for it. The biggest indicator? Electricity. Vietnam: 100 million people, over 70 GW of power. Kenya: 50 million people, only 4 GW. This is not a side issue—it’s the foundation of economic development. No investor will build a factory where the lights flicker every day. Vietnam knew this. It built power generation before free trade zones, and now it’s a global export hub. In Kenya, basic energy supply is unstable. And yet, the government built a fancy expressway from Nair...

In today’s world, the dynamics of relationships are increasingly under the microscope.  While some claim that “everybody is polygamous in nature” and that men cheat for the physical thrill while women cheat for love and emotional fulfillment, the underlying truth remains clear: cheating undermines the very foundation of trust. As the old proverb goes, “You reap what you sow.” When we choose deceit over honesty, we set the stage for heartbreak and betrayal. _The Dual Nature of Cheating_ It is often said that men cheat for sex, seeking only the fleeting excitement of physical pleasure.  On the other hand, women may cheat for love and affection, often hoping to find emotional support or even a potential replacement when they feel unfulfilled.   While these generalizations might stir debate, one thing is indisputable: infidelity—regardless of motive—destroys trust and disrupts lives. As the saying goes, “A stitch in time saves nine,” and addressing issues early can prevent mu...

In the grand tapestry of creation, you are a masterpiece, woven with threads of divine intention. `As Genesis 1:27 reminds us, "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."`  This profound truth underscores our inherent value and the unique reflection of the Creator within each of us. Yet, despite bearing this divine likeness, we often find ourselves anchored, navigating the tumultuous seas of worldly desires and comparisons. The English idiom aptly states, *_"If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck."_* While we may resemble the Divine, our actions and choices sometimes diverge from this sacred image. Life's challenges and tribulations are not indicators of divine displeasure but are akin to the refining fire that purifies gold. `As 1 Peter 1:7 elucidates, these trials "have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater wo...

Introduction: The First Command—Be Fruitful From the very dawn of creation, the first divine instruction given to humanity was not to pray, fast, or meditate—though all these are essential. The first command was clear and profound: > "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living thing that moves on the earth." (Genesis 1:28, NKJV) "Be fruitful" is not merely about biological reproduction; it is about productivity, creativity, and innovation. It is the divine expectation that we take raw materials and transform them into something valuable. Like seeds in fertile soil, our potential is embedded within us, waiting to sprout, blossom, and bear fruit. God will never demand what He has not already provided; therefore, the mandate to be fruitful assumes that the capacity for productivity is already within us. Poverty: The Absence of Self-Production Poverty is not merely the absence...

How often do you wash your towel? Some people wash once a week, while some, once a year. The towel is a fertile breeding ground for millions of microbes, especially those found on human skin and on the gut.  No wonder the towel is one of the objects that facilitate fecal-oral contamination (literally connecting the two ends of the gut).  Worse still, most people keep towels in the bathroom (near the toilet). Every flush of the toilet sends mist with millions of microbes, ranging from H.pylori,  salmonella and other deadly bacteria and viruses. When you wash your hands ready for a meal, and dry them with your body towel, there's high chance you are directly ingesting your fecal matter, or, if in a shared lavatory, someone else's faeces. Unless cleaned well, viruses such as human papillomavirus (causes warts, anal cancer and cervical cancer) can be transmitted when towels are shared with infected individuals. So, what to do? 1. Launder towels once a week. 2. Use hot water and det...
