@ahmednasirlaw I agree. Two things that will change Kenya ..free health care and free education. When you think about it all fundraising in villages goes to these two. Provide those and Kenyans will have more income in their pockets, and this will grow the country

This will be HUGE. HUGE. Health care will kick-start a revolutionary change in Kenya. It must be ring fenced and protected.
William Samoei Ruto, PhD@WilliamsRuto

The roll-out of the Universal Health Coverage will require an all-of-government approach, including the counties, to mobilise Kenyans to understand the benefits of this transformative and inclusive programme. We call on everyone to register via *147# or sha.go.ke ahead of the roll-out on October 1, 2024. Met Ministry of Health officials, governors and other stakeholders as we prepare for the launch of the Universal Health Coverage next month, State House, Nairobi County.

Billionaire Joe Wanjui is dead. When we were small kids, on hearing his name, we used to be told that he was the owner of the East African Industries (EAI), the forerunner to Unilever Kenya. Those guys used to manufacture nearly everything we saw at home; Kimbo, Vaseline, Closeup, Omo, Elianto....the works. I'm often amazed by how great people in this country die quietly and their stories fade off like that. There are things people do not know about Wanjui. Apart from the fact that at some point, he was the Chairman of the DP Council of Elders, the moneyed Kikuyu businessmen who funded Mwai Kibaki and his party. But after the 2002 elections, when Kibaki's surrogates brought back tribalism by the truckloads and shut out the other communities, Wanjui was the powerful insider voice who constantly called Kibaki to order and demanded that the government be run in a way that sustained not only lasting peace, but an environment conducive for business and thrift. He also frowned on the contempt and hubris exhibited by the new Mount Kenya power brokers under Kibaki. But I pay tribute to Joe Wanjui for two main reasons... One, and especially in the current Kenyan circumstances, he was one of the last among a breed of Kenyan billionaires who actually MANUFACTURED SOMETHING to make money, a far cry from the modern Kenyan quick-fix billionaires who amass wealth through "ni God manze". This fact is important in determining the stark contrast between Kikuyu Entitlement and Kalenjin Incompetence. The Kikuyu old money networks built lasting money through industry. Even those alleged to have stolen money from government ran thriving private industrial concerns and left the government parastatals alive. Their Kalenjin counterparts under both Moi and Ruto would wake up and become billionaires overnight, leaving dust where previously a state enterprise stood. Because people of Wanjui's ilk knew the value of wealth and its sustainability, they didn't go around carrying money in sacks at harambees, or tapping their feet like illiterate penguins, to illustrate the count by each million. Certainly, this group wouldn't don watches of 20m, because those who make money genuinely don't tie it to an asset around a wrist. Amidst the Gen Z protests, perhaps we need to take a step back and ask what the new Kalenjin power brokers around Ruto, and their fraudulent friends like @DidmusWaBarasa, have done to buy helicopters overnight. Because Joe Wanjui and his peers showed us that the credible way to create wealth was to first create a going concern, build it and employ people. But the Sudis of our time have turned this philosophy upside down. The second and bigger reason I celebrate Joe Wanjui happened during interesting times. At the peak of the fallout in the Kibaki regime in 2005, when the LDP wing, and especially the Luo community, had all but bid farewell to the NARC-Rainbow coalition, the vacancy for Vice Chancellor at the University of Nairobi came up for filling. Part of the reforms brought by the Narc government was that unlike previous times, when the VC was appointed by the President, this was going to be the very first time a VC was being competitively interviewed. You should have seen the top scholars, foreigners from Europe, America, South Africa, Asia and the Middle East, who all wanted the job, arriving at JKIA for the interview. Joe Wanjui was then the Chancellor of the UoN, again the first time the President of the Republic wasn't the one. He would chair the interviews. 1/2

Giving CDF to parliamentarians and reducing MPs to the role of renovating schools, giving bursaries, attending to harambees while citizens expect them also to give money for towards personal issues and handouts as well is what has messed up our representation, and we have ended up with the worst caliber of MPs in some regions. The work of an MP is first and foremost legislation. Now, if your MP cannot even engage in a debate, properly express his/her views in English or Kiswahili, or even read a simple document, what is his/her use in parliament?

On International Mother Language Day, we embraced linguistic diversity in our classrooms — connecting with learners who shared the multiple languages that they speak at home, along with some of their favourite words or phrases in their mother tongues! #IMLD2024 #SpeakLikeHome

You did Sir, but it would appear like truth and good manners are not served in these streets otherwise you would have deleted your post after I clarified. You are a respected person and when you post a lie people take it for gospel truth! I respect you a lot. Ignore the street banter

I am seeing some dimwits including a fake professor who lives in America and runs an eatery in Kitui misleading people that MCSK declared royalty distribution of Ksh20M will be shared equally among our 16000 members, hence every member will get Ksh1,250. I am sure that the fake Professor has a payroll for his eatery in Kitui and his workers don't earn the same amounts. We issued a statement to the media and indicated the criteria used for distribution in line with our rules. But malicious and lazy brains would rather propagate a lie than the facts. We live in a sick society!

the basic is to learn numeracy and literacy, after that children's intelligence should not be determined by their ability to climb the tree lnkd.in/dvJaX22z

Peru improved more than any other country on the Latin America regional assessment ERCE— large gains in reading, math, & science at both 3 and 6 grade. It is impressive that progress was driven by lowering the share of learners @ lowest performance levels bit.ly/41Og6A4

On day two of the 10-day TaRL Master trainers' training facilitated by TaRL Africa, the participants from Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania are being taken through how to use locally available materials to support acquisition of foundational numeracy skills in a fun way.
