Dear @KenyaPower_Care What’s the status of token purchase delay from the paybill? Is there an ETA? Or which banks are working at the moment for token purchase? I have tried NCBA and Absa, and nothing’s working on that side either. Kindly advise

I started my career a few years ago, but long before that I had already amassed a reputation as the guy to go to if you wanted to build a website. Mark you, I could not write a single line of code then. How? WordPress. I loved tinkering about with WordPress and WPEngine, and I became kinda good at it. A client, usually through referalls, would approach me and I'd ask for a downpayment, say 15k. With this money I'd buy a domain plus hosting, usually 4k thereabouts. I knew the guys who worked at Kenya Web Experts by name, seeing that I'd buy domain every other week or so and call to sweettalk them so they could elevate my privileges. The hosting would run on your good old cPanel. This would come with unlimted email addresses which could be configured to show up right in the clents gmail, a feature they really liked. Then Chrome started requiring SSL and who are we to fork cash for that? If you're a hacker you know you'd rather waste two weeks engineerng something that would have cost you 5 dollars if you'd decided to pay for it. The first thing I'd do would be to install WordPress. Then I'd go to the Pirate Bay (I'm not proud of my Monkey D. Luffy days), steal some premium themes, tinker with the code a bit to make it look original, then install it. Next it would just be confgurations. I created websites for law firms, NGOs, e-commerce sites, personalites, etc. I charged between 30k to 40k for a week of work. It wasn't much (work wasn't very frequent), but at least it was an honest living. I am now a senior web developer, yet I still find myself going back to my good old no-code friend, WordPress. Wisdom is knowing which web apps need building from the ground up and which websites can be quickly cobbled with WordPress. Of course, there's a whole other world of Headless WordPress. My very first job in tech, I told them I knew WordPress, only for me to be met with lots of PHP that traumatized me to a point I'm still going to therapy. But that's a story for a nother day. PHP does tend to do that to you sometimes. But I'd encourage young techies, and looking to freelance, to seriously take a look a WordPress. Afterall, it powers 70% of the web for a reason. That's why tonight, on Beyond Code Tuesday with @Mentorlst, we're proud to host the folks from WordPress who are currently in the country for the WordCamp Festival going down this weekend. This will be going down at 8pm EAT (5pm GMT). You can book your spot through the link in the comments. We are also providing a discount code for those interested in attending WordCamp Festival. @SharonJebitok and @jumalaw98 can't wait to take you through the session!

@BravinYuri @BravinYuri clearly in this country in order for you to get a tender or position, you/your company must show testimonials of previous corruption scandals and failed projects 😂 And share references on your CV of those who can corroborate your crimes😂

The following report is a summary of mining giant Adani's track record, based on research into hundreds of court documents by Environmental Justice Australia and Earthjustice and other publicly available evidence. In 2011, a ship carrying Adani coal sank off the coast of Mumbai, devastating beaches, tourism and marine life. Adani did nothing to clean up the mess for five years. Adani can't be trusted to operate in the Great Barrier Reef.  Adani's Australian CEO was Director of Operations at another mining company when it  poisoned a river in Zambia that people relied on to survive. Adani hid this from the Australian government. Adani can't be trusted with Queensland's water. There have been deaths, illness and injuries at Adani workplaces. Reports show Adani have exploited and underpaid their workforce, including using child labour. Adani can't be trusted to follow the rules and look after workers in Australia.  Adani uses dodgy tax havens in the Cayman Islands to hide assets and revenue. 13 of the 26 Adani subsidiaries registered in Australia are ultimately owned in the Cayman Islands. Companies who pay their taxes don't register themselves in the Cayman Islands.    Adani was involved in a bribery scandal that involved bribing customs officials, the police, the State pollution control board and more. Companies who obey the law don't have to pay bribes.

If you think Mithika Linturi was the worst performing CS in Kenya. Like and retweet. #RutoMustStay

@PeninahMalonza_ @EACCKenya kujieni huyu raia... ashaanza kujianika

@BiancaNaom1 Ata huyo Khalif Kairo is okay! Heri huyo

Now that y'all are chanting RUTO MUST GO, after he goes, who takes over?  Boniface Mwangi, Hanifa, Khalif Kairo or Who?

Churchill show kumechemka bana...Ababu namwamba just got cut short audience chanting "Ruto must go..." Lovely scenes indeed.

The last time I shed tears was on the morning of 1st June 2011 when my elder brother called me to inform me of the passing of my father. I have found myself shedding tears this morning after confirmation that my brother @cheruiyot_ak has rested on the mountain. No one can ever understand the heart and the mind of a mountaineer. The drive that takes us to some places. It is a sad day. Our brother is now one with the mountain 🙏. It will be a difficult time. Go well my brother. #everest #everest2024

Cheruiyot did not just wake up and decide to head to Mt. Everest. This is him and myself at the summit of Mt. Manaslu (8163m) on 24th September 2023. We climbed this mountain without supplemental oxygen and without Sherpa support. It was a climb to prepare us for Mt. Everest. I was supposed to accompany him on this expedition but I pulled out 3 weeks to the expedition due to personal reasons. I trusted him with my life on Manaslu. I did not have any doubts on Everest. He has accomplished things that I can only admire. Some I am sure I will never accomplish. As you air your opinions on risks and all, its important to remember who he is and what he has accomplished. We choose to honour him for who he is. #everest #everest2024

There are 4 movies explaining why this is a bad idea
