GoK would rather kill the economy in the short + long term, rather than take measures to cushion the economy + citizens from the turbulence of Iran War + cushion the economy long term? Has Ruto's government given up on Kenya? Must people in GoK make money from misery of Kenyans?

Most presidential palaces in Africa rely mainly on classical architecture. Expansion of the same has involved deliberate architectural conservation efforts. THEN THERE IS KENYA!

@iamJimalo I teach architecture. Nobody pays me to teach every barking fool out there, like you. Are you literate? Then read the board of those projects you mention. You shall know the architect. That thing on top of your neck has a function!

I am a Professor of Architecture. I have been a judge for Commonwealth Association of Architects Awards, International Union of Architects Awards, Asia Architecture Awards, AAK-Crown Architecture Awards, etc. Feel free to ignore my opinion. The New State House is plain MEDIOCRE!

@adams_program Classical architecture is taught in all Kenyan architecture schools. We just have people who don't care at all about conservation and such things.

Adams@adams_program·
The scale & proportions are off. In architecture school unless it's Architectural Conservation projects, I have never seen anyone take a Neo-classical approach to design. This means there's no Kenyan architect or school that specializes in such a style.

He names common ancestor of Nilotes as Sin Kuru [Kuku Lubanga]. He identifies his three sons as the ancestors of different Nilotic groups: Luileituk Dyang [Samburu / Maasai], Odongo Pok Boni [Kalenjin] + Opiyo Podho Koma [Luo]. I have not been able to triangulate these claims.

Luo, Masaai, Samburu and Kalenjin common heritage Before Hon. Dr. Ochilo Ayako's famous declaration of the Nilotes common heritage; before Broad Based Government, etc, I met STEPHEN OSIEYO, author of THE LUO OF KENYA. He had attempted to deal with ancient Luo History.

My position on vernacular languages in Kenya has always been that "Every Kenyan child should learn two other indigenous languages in addition to their own mother tongue; in primary school". What do you think?
