For more than 70 years, British broadcaster and naturalist, Sir David Attenborough has brought nature to our screens. At 100, he reflects on one unforgettable moment - coming face to face with mountain gorillas in Rwanda. Here’s that encounter from 1979.

@shikumungai_ These guys know a lot.. As in a lot.. Hapo kwa uda, dcp,Jubilee.. Ona Moses Kuria gutiri ûndû atoìì..

Kimani nake rì Mbona anakuwanga in the midro of all sarakasis?

@_kamami_ Mombasa got Joho and the governor on Ruto's side though. Thought they have quite some influence

@P_Mwago Bana🤣🤣🤣🤣 Like there is absolutely no way out Lost central , Narobi , part of South Rift 🤣 Mombasa , kisii 💀part of western region

That man’s goose was cooked during Finance Bill protests 2024

@NzambuPatrick I see Mechs recommending 5w 40 for high mileages cars and our local warm conditions. Start stop traffic etc..

@P_Mwago I had switched to 5W40 and went back to 5W30. Never noted any change in temperature gauge. May switch again in the next service.

EA211 at over 150k and the exhaust drips clean water. Serviced with NGK, 5W30 (every 7500kms) and currently running on v-power. If not v-power, fueled at Astrol or Rubis service stations. Will 50mg/kg of sulphur take all this sweetness? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@MakauWaMuli Wamatangi?

Irungu Kang'ata wa barua never gets it wrong. Mountain moved. Ndindi Nyoro is next.

@DamarisTOO1 That's why Western politician need to seriously think about how they do politics. That it should go hand in hand with development.

Poverty rates in western and Nyanza region Nearly half of Western Kenya lives in poverty and the numbers compared to central Kenya should make every Kenyan angry I want to share some numbers that stopped me in my tracks. Not because they're surprising to those of us from the region but because seeing them laid out next to the rest of Kenya makes the scale of inequality impossible to ignore. The Numbers According to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), here are the official poverty rates for western Kenya counties: County | Poverty Rate | Migori 49.6% | Kakamega 49.2% | Homa Bay 48.4% | Bungoma 47.3% | Trans Nzoia 41.2% | Kisumu 39.9% | Siaya 38.2% Nearly 5 in every 10 people. In 2024. Now Compare That To This 🔴 Kakamega: 49.2% poverty rate 🔴 Migori: 49.6% poverty rate 🟢 Kiambu: 19.9% poverty rate 🟢 Nairobi: 16.5% poverty rate Same country. Same government. Same tax base. Yet western Kenya counties are experiencing two to three times the poverty of central Kenya counties. That gap doesn't happen by accident. The Painful Irony Kakamega alone contributes 4.77% to Kenya's entire national poverty index.... the single highest contribution of any county. This is a county with: ✅ Fertile agricultural land ✅ The Kakamega rainforest ✅ Gold deposits ✅ High literacy rates ✅ Sugarcane production The resources are there. The investment has never matched them. What Happened to the Industries? Mumias Sugar Company was once the largest sugar miller in East Africa. Thousands of jobs. Entire towns economically dependent on it. Today it has collapsed mismanaged and politically abandoned while farmers who depended on it were left with nothing. The Health Factor HIV and malaria rates in Western and Nyanza provinces are among the highest in Kenya. Research shows that more than 3 in 5 households fall into poverty partly because of disease — medical costs drain income while illness prevents work. Poverty and poor health feed each other in a cycle that underfunded health infrastructure cannot break. Is This By Design? During colonial rule, western Kenya was used primarily as a labour reserve ,people taken to build railways and work farms elsewhere while their home region received minimal infrastructure in return. After independence, budget allocations and industrial investment continued to follow political proximity to power rather than need or potential. Western Kenya has produced brilliant minds, influential politicians, and hardworking communities. It has also been on the losing side of Kenya's patronage-based development system for most of its post-independence history. What I'm Asking I'm not here to tribal-bait or point fingers at communities. I'm asking that we as Kenyans look honestly at these numbers and ask whether this is the country we want to be. Development should not follow ethnicity. Resources should not follow political loyalty. If you're from western Kenya — your experience is valid and these numbers confirm it. If you're from elsewhere — this inequality affects Kenya's potential as a whole. TL;DR: Western Kenya counties have poverty rates of 38–50%, nearly 3x higher than central Kenya counties like Kiambu (19.9%) and Nairobi (16.5%). Kakamega contributes the highest share of any county to Kenya's national poverty index — despite having fertile land, resources, and an educated population. This is the result of decades of structural underinvestment, collapsed industries, and political marginalization.

@BoardLotSultan I was surprised they sell garmin watches too.. Interesting company that one..

@P_Mwago Yes. They own 26% of Watu. A small growing conglemerate

Fun Fact: Car & General is the Landlord of Half of Careffour Mega, other half is Kenyattas

This is quite apt. Saw this with SACCO, I was in a small Sacco then our deposit hit 100M, SASRA's radar cam about and all over they are compliance fees, solvency rations, all ate our interest in deposits in a flash! Yes, success is met with a bill!

@kinjeketile Hiyo stori ya El Nino bado iko kweli? @MaithyaVilivu what are models showing?

I wonder how we will survive El Nino.

@kahiuitina_ @Kalasinga_ Wuuui..That's would be so much of a loss. Daamn! I hope that's not the case..

@P_Mwago @Kalasinga_ Ile ngori iko ni eti the plate has no valid insurance now, if that was the case at the time of accident ni noma ajab!

Wueh. I guess the driver run out of talent. Rear wheel drive AMGs require a very measured driver. Very powerful but tail happy. Alafu, if I'm not wrong, KD plates insure damage of up to 1million if I'm not wrong. So hapa ni machos for the owner kama hakua na proper insurance.

@Brother_Silverr Congratulations!

Well… she said yes!

@KenyanHunk_ @Eastleighvoice Inaitwa ambition..Very important ingredient to succeed in this thing called lofe, try, fail, move on. Look at how Marathon went below 2 hrs. Nike invested lasers etc, Now it will be normalised.

@Eastleighvoice 1. Why would The Grammys come here? 2. We dont really compare to America and say Latin America in terms of a vibrant, viral, financially viable music culture. 3. Our music culture is a couple of mediocre artists + might-have-beens! 4. WTF!

President William Ruto has announced plans to lobby for Nairobi to host the Grammys ahead of his meeting on May 26, with its President, Panos A. Panay, saying Kenya is positioning itself as a continental hub for the global creative economy. Speaking at the Kalasha Awards, he said Kenya was the only country to meet the financial requirements in the bid process and confirmed he will hold a key meeting later this month with Recording Academy leadership to advance the proposal.

@Bygones_24 Permanent and pensionable(pnp)

You're very blind. Ruto has hired 110,000 teachers. Ask where all these JSS teachers have come from. You're also blind not see work going on. Gov will not need your motorbike in 2027 because Ruto will be the incumbent.

@Ruthjelagat13 Why?

Introduce fermented foods to your children as early as 6 months. Slowly but consistently. I don't mean supermarket yoghurt and probiotics.

@Alvoh90 @WillieOeba On the flipside, it's the nature of Kenyan politics. Kenyans want you at every funeral, choir practice, graduation etc. You miss, you are purnished. Learnt this while talking to villagers, No 1 requirement is availability and accessibility. Try telling them otherwise, Heh!

@WillieOeba He is too available, he loves attention, must have grown up with low self esteem

Ruto has made the presidency lose lustre

@MihrThakar It's God given gift of good genes Bro. There's something massive about those Iten, Kapsabet, Kabarnet folks. Their muscles don't seem to tire at all. How can you be accelerating when ending 42kms? Eish!

The "Kenyan runners succeed because of genes" argument takes a lot away from their sheer hard work and dedication.
