My father immigrated to United States at age 44. He worked two jobs, seven days a week, and went to night school to earn a PhD. He received his doctorate after six years, at age 66. Stay teachable. Fight for your happiness. Do not quit on your dreams. Work hard. Be optimistic.

Yesterday, I met an influential MP from Nyanza & he told me that pro-Government MPs are awash with money from political brokerage & tenders bribes. But that sadly, nearly all the Billions are hoarded in the MPs or banks with weak regulatory controls. The only silver lining is weekend Harambees now raise millions. None of the MPs is running any company that employs people or generates more wealth. It is a sad indictment of our patronage political system & weak anti-corruption controls. We are building a truly BANANA REPUBLIC like DR Congo, Haiti & Nigeria. Kenya is capable of being a Denmark if we have the political will.

Kenyans shouldn't begrudge Sen Sifuna for his meteoric political rise. We should instead celebrate it. It's always a good thing when a young man gets a break in politics or any career for that matter and thrust himself into the national limelight. Remember, Sifuna hasn't elbowed anyone. He simply claimed a space that was empty since Hon. Kijana Wamalwa died two decades ago. For too long, Western was bereft of a political heavyweight that sat at the national table as of right. Sifuna seems to be the new kid on the block. And to be fair to the young man, his appeal goes beyond Luhya land.

FACT: WE ARE KILLING TOURISM IN KENYA Malindi was once a tourist jewel for Kenya exclusively built by Italians … Then we allowed kiosks & slums all over … Taps ran dry … garbage remained uncollected …. Insecurity gripped in … Italians left …. Malindi died. Naivasha was once a beautiful tourist resort with many hotels & restaurants ran by English & Dutch people … We allowed kiosks all over … We allowed unplanned buildings .. The town doesn’t have sufficient water nor sewage system … Europeans left … Naivasha is dead. Nanyuki & its environs grew to be a beautiful upscale tourist circuit built on the investment of English settlers & the British army …. There was enough money for everyone … Even for the prostitutes … Then we allowed kiosks … We allowed unplanned buildings … We started accusing the British of real & imagined crimes … A very close friend of mine told me his cousin was bitten by a hyena but he sued the British army that he was injured by an ordinance! And he was paid! The British Army will soon pull out … Nanyuki will collapse into a slum! Show me one tourist town in Kenya that succeeded after Europeans relocated from it. Look at Tanzania & Namibia …. They are overtaking us in tourism because they have ring-fenced resort sites from kiosks & slums! One day, tourism will die in Kenya … We will be competing with Nigeria who receives 5,000 tourists a year .. Or Somalia that receives 20 tourists!

When Kenyans are made Ministers, PSes, State Corporations CEOs & Chairmen or when MPs or tenderpreneurs have the President’s number, they think they are gods! They become arrogant, rude & condescending. Many start riding in long convoys with armed security. What they always forget is that POWER IS TEMPORARY, TRANSIENT & ONLY FOR A SEASON. Then it ends like morning dew. The Convoy ends. The Security stops. Phone calls stop. The false friends who were with you for the power disappear. And madness sets in.

@Nithya_Shrii People price the rent difference but never the commute. 45 min each way is 7.5 hrs a week you'll never get back, gone before you even open your laptop.

The distance between your house and your job affects your quality of life.

President William Ruto approved visa-free entry to Kenya 🇰🇪 for citizens of every African country, except Somalia 🇸🇴 and Libya 🇱🇾.

This afternoon, we broke ground on Phase IIIA of our Non-Motorised Transport project along Ondiek Highway, Nyerere Road and Gumbe Road. I was joined by PS Charles Hinga - State Department for Housing and Urban Development, alongside senior officers from the World Bank, in this groundbreaking for the project funded by the World Bank through KUSP II - Modern walkways, Safer crossings, Better drainage and Landscaped corridors. Kaloleni, Lumumba, Makasembo, Ondiek and Anderson residential areas, are rapidly becoming the mini-cities of a growing Kisumu and their growth without our planning is a recipe for chaos. We are choosing to plan, to invest and to build a city that works for people. Not one that waits for problems to fix themselves. Asante sana to the World Bank, the State Department for Housing and Urban Development and every partner who is walking this journey with us. #TichTire

Sad Truth: Parents don’t fear death. Their greatest fear is leaving their children in this world, knowing that no one will love them the way they do.
