Nakumatt was Kenya’s blue elephant. A retail empire that sold billions, owed tens of billions, and left creditors staring at a KSh30B crater. The shelves did not empty because Nakumatt died. Nakumatt died because the machine behind the shelves had already broken. Thread 🧵👇🏾

We concluded the 4th Africa Forward Summit with a magnificent celebration of African fashion, music, and dance at the Kasarani Indoor Arena, showcasing some of the continent’s most distinguished designers, acclaimed music stars, and emerging young artistes. The performances were a beautiful expression of the richness and diversity of Africa’s cultural heritage, the immense promise of our continent, and the extraordinary talent, innovation, and creativity of our youth. On behalf of the Government and the people of Kenya, I once again extend our sincere appreciation to all participants, sponsors, partners, and stakeholders whose invaluable contribution ensured the success of this historic summit. We convey our special gratitude to our co-host, President Emmanuel Macron of France, for his steadfast support and commitment to championing a renewed and forward-looking partnership between Africa and France. Asanteni sana. Karibuni Kenya tena.

The High Court has now given the Office of the Attorney General 6 months to take all necessary and appropriate measures to safeguard digital identity associated with the registered mobile telephone number against unfettered deactivation, and subsequent arbitrary reassignment or recycling. The High Court rules that reassignment of cell phone numbers should happen only when/if: 1. There is the previous registered owner’s informed & verifiable consent 2. After expiry of reasonable period following issuance of public notice which must be preceded by through documented verification process aimed at confirming the original registered owner cannot be located or has unequivocally revoked the rights to the number 3.

Amazon is holding a mandatory meeting about AI breaking its systems. The official framing is "part of normal business." The briefing note describes a trend of incidents with "high blast radius" caused by "Gen-AI assisted changes" for which "best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established." Translation to human language: we gave AI to engineers and things keep breaking? The response for now? Junior and mid-level engineers can no longer push AI-assisted code without a senior signing off. AWS spent 13 hours recovering after its own AI coding tool, asked to make some changes, decided instead to delete and recreate the environment (the software equivalent of fixing a leaky tap by knocking down the wall). Amazon called that an "extremely limited event" (the affected tool served customers in mainland China).

They expected AI to expose flaws in the Bible. Instead @grok discovered coherence, patterns, and structure across texts written centuries apart. Does that surprise you or confirm what you already knew? @elonmusk

YouTuber Jesse James West held a competition to see who’s stronger between tall, strong bodybuilder women and strong dwarf men. > Dwarf men easily crushed them > Women were very egoistic, serious, and competitive > While men were just having fun Why is gender equality forced when the difference in ability is pretty clear?

@ahmednasirlaw This is not Nyeri :This is personal mediocrity .How about he shows the ‘development ‘done with county resources ? Shame on him.

Deeply saddened by the passing of my dear friend and former Prime Minister of Kenya, Mr. Raila Odinga. He was a towering statesman and a cherished friend of India. I had the privilege of knowing him closely since my days as Chief Minister of Gujarat and our association continued over the years. He had a special affection for India, our culture, values and ancient wisdom. This was reflected in his efforts to strengthen India-Kenya ties. He particularly admired Ayurveda and traditional medicine systems of India, having witnessed their positive impact on his daughter's health. I extend my deepest condolences to his family, friends and to the people of Kenya in this hour of grief.

The best decision I ever made was marrying you, @MichelleObama. For 33 years, I’ve admired your strength, grace, and determination — and the fact that you look so good doing it all. Happy anniversary!

🇷🇺 Russian Health Minister Saves Life Mid-flight On a Moscow–Hanoi flight, a 50-year-old passenger suffered a hypertensive crisis. The crew called for help, and by chance, Russia’s Health Minister Mikhail Murashko was onboard. Murashko treated the man, stabilized him within an hour, and the passenger safely completed the flight.

Whoever took over passports processing at Nyayo house is cooking it a good one. Passports are being processed at a very efficient rate. Good job there 👏🏿.

For the past couple of years, I have been calling out the management of our capital, the sheer neglect and lack of basic services. The city is rotting, no matter where you live, whether in the upper, middle or low-income areas. I always encourage citizens to keep their environment clean, and I do my part. The county’s failure is shocking, no proper roads, open manholes everywhere, no pedestrian walkways, hawkers, kiosks and boda bodas blocking roundabouts and footpaths, piles of uncollected garbage and open sewers. These are all the responsibilities of a working county. There isn’t a dustbin in the entire Westlands constituency, nor county cleaning regularly or garbage collection. No large waste collector bins anywhere — where exactly are people supposed to dispose of their garbage? Each Sunday, Gucci and I go around documenting this mess. The once beautiful Westlands now looks like downtown Luthuli , plastered with billboards from Westlands and Parklands to Spring Valley and Lower Kabete. It seems illiterate, corrupt, third-class villagers are in charge. The pictures in the thread, as usual. Sorry, but it is what it is.
