When there are visitors to impress, we have money. We have determination. We have speed.
When it’s just for ourselves, we have constraints, restrictions and excuses.

The thing about the marathon record is it’s been broken by a Kenyan.
Before that, it was held by another Kenyan (Kiptum, RIP), who broke another Kenyan’s record (Kipchoge) who broke his own record but not before breaking another Kenyan’s record (Kimetto)
Etc. 😂

I mourn the passing of Patrick Mukabi, the artist behind the iconic paintings in all Java House wall paintings. As a newbie journalist, my bery first assignment was to cover the story of how Mukabi memorialised the 1998 bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi. I have followed his work over the years and my best series from his collection was Market Women. Mukabi did a lot of work teaching youngsters to paint. But above all, he immortalised many aspects of Nairobi social life. He is a national treasure. The city of Nairobi owes him a great of gratitude. We need a City Arts Council to recognise such artists Wangui Maina and Dennis Onsarigo.

There’s a lot of misinformation and wringing of facts over this Bill and this is the first informed take that I have seen, probably by someone who has read it and understands what it’s about.

Summary of the Sacco Societies (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which was read a first time in the National Assembly this week:
— Establishes a central liquidity and shared services framework, allowing 30 primary Saccos to form a secondary Sacco that pools funds, manages liquidity, and provides system-wide financial infrastructure, including payments and settlement.
— Defines a wholesale-only model for the secondary Sacco, which means it cannot take deposits from or lend to individuals, restricting operations strictly to primary Saccos and creating a clear two-tier system (members → primary Saccos → secondary Sacco).
— Expands permissible activities of the secondary Sacco to include liquidity reserve management, inter-Sacco lending, investment in government securities, payment systems, transfers, and trade finance, positioning it as a sector-wide financial intermediary.
— Places the secondary Sacco under SASRA licensing and supervision, with prescribed capital and liquidity thresholds, continuous oversight, and regulatory enforcement powers.
— Introduces stricter governance and fit-and-proper requirements for directors and senior management of the secondary Sacco, alongside expanded regulatory approval powers.
— Strengthens enforcement through penalties for non-compliance, including fines of up to KES 3M or imprisonment of up to 5 years.
— Enhances the Deposit Guarantee Fund framework for primary Saccos, outlining claims processes, payout conditions, and timelines in the event of Sacco failure.
— Maintains depositor protection at KES 100,000 per member in primary Saccos, with provisions allowing offsets against outstanding loans before payouts.
— Grants the Cabinet Secretary and regulator powers to set regulations, fees, liquidity thresholds, and operational rules, with the Bill classified as a money bill due to public expenditure implications.

It pains me deeply to see what has become of some of the brightest minds I know. Four of my campus friends young men full of promise are now sharing a small one bedroom house two years after graduation. One holds a B.Ed in Physics and Chemistry. Another earned a BSc in Computer Science. The third studied B.Ed Mathematics and Business. The last one scored an A and went on to graduate with a degree in Actuarial Science. These are not ordinary qualifications. These are degrees that require discipline, intelligence, and sacrifice.Yet today, one is surviving through photography gigs. Another is selling eggs. The others are working as waiters in a mabati hotel. Honest work is dignified, yes but is this what they studied for? Is this the return on years of tuition fees, HELB loans, sleepless nights, and national investment in education? Does it not hurt to watch such potential underutilized?

“AFCON SMEAR CAMPAIGN”
(Same Game, Different Judgement)
A comment by Darren Lewis, a respected British sports journalist, deserves real credit. Paraphrasing his point:
We need to stop pushing the lazy narrative that what happened at the AFCON final is somehow a stain on all of African football.
When England fans vandalised Wembley after Euro 2020, it wasn’t framed as a failure of European football.
When Calciopoli exposed deep corruption in Italy and Juventus were relegated, it wasn’t used to discredit European club football as a whole.
When Steve Bruce led Sheffield United off the pitch during an FA Cup tie against Arsenal at Highbury, no one claimed it represented English football.
Yet, similar incidents at AFCON are quickly weaponised to question the legitimacy, organisation, and credibility of African football as a whole.
That double standard is the real issue, not the tournament.
Same game. Same problems. Different judgement.
AFCON isn’t the problem, the bias is.
