An average KALENJIN home has a farmer, a tsc teacher, a nurse, a policeman/kdf and someone abroad.. This answers why an average child would pivot more towards employment.
An average KIKUYU home has, a shrewd businessman, a banker, HR personnel na mtu tunajua ankuanga Nairobi.

“Tunataka president ako na aura , sio Maraga” yeah , that’s exactly why whoever is ruling is on that seat. Mnapenda watu wako na aura ya wizi.
Elvis retweeted
I will vote for Maraga. My whole family has promised to vote him in too. I will be at peace whether he wins or not as long as I made the right choice for my country!!!

Years later, it’s frustrating to see people still peddling oversimplified comparisons of the SGR. "Twitter auditors" love to compare Kenya’s $3.2B price tag to Ethiopia’s $3.4B without looking at the engineering or legal realities, and this is why that comparison fails:-
Technical Standards: Kenya’s SGR is Class 1 (heavy-haul), built to move massive cargo from Mombasa. Ethiopia’s is Class 2, built for lighter volumes.
Land Costs: Kenya spent over Ksh 33B on land compensation because of private property rights and speculation. In Ethiopia, the state owns the land, so their compensation costs were negligible.
Engineering: Kenya had to build massive viaducts like the 6.5km superbridge in Nairobi National Park to protect wildlife. Our stations were also built as major architectural hubs, unlike the more basic, functional stations in Ethiopia.
Capacity: Kenya’s rail supports "double-stacking" and 25-tonne axle loads. One Kenyan train can carry double what a standard train handles.
We should absolutely demand transparency regarding debt, but comparing "cost per kilometre" here is an apples to oranges mistake. The two railways aren't the same product.
SGR ya Kenya ilicost 3.2 Billion shillings for 472 km line
Ethiopian SGR which is 756 Km ilicost cost 3.4 Billion.
Kenya spent 6.78 m per km while Ethiopia spent 4.5M per km,
Mind you Ethiopia’s is electrified while Kenya’s is not
Those exaggerated figures ndio wanabuy expensive watches cars
In a decade, public debt has grown 5x, from 2.4 Trillion to Trillion.
It’s the poor nwananchi ndio ataongezewa taxes alipe.

One of the most blatant examples of water apartheid:
The water well is 50 meters away from the Palestinian community, but they're not allowed to even buy it. Instead, Israel transfers the water out of the West Bank and makes money from it.

Tribute to Hon Raila Odinga
Every once in a while, there arises a man who recalibrates and transforms the trajectory of history. In Kenya, Hon. Raila was such a man - making perhaps the most significant impact in Kenya's recent history.
Finally. Finally. A night without thunder for Palestinian children. I have been praying for this night for a long time.

Today is a good day... there is some movement towards peace in the middle east ... small steps but better than where things were yesterday

If Ruto is declared the winner, it will be the start of destruction of Kenya as we know it. A Kenya where all economic and democratic gains made will melt before our eyes. It'll be a moment of irony where democracy will have killed itself. It'll be an error of a reign. Disaster!
All successful protest tend to have an achievable goal (a real path) to resolution. Its sad to say the current protest does not seem to have a clear goal or attainable goals or how to measure success.

Remember these remarks "If there is no country for William Ruto, there is no country for you".
Today speaks volumes about affirming the above words.
