You aren't going to free women from the church by shouting at the institution from social media.
You are going to free women from the church by creating the social infrastructure they need to be able to live without it.

Now that we decided to implement British anti-intellectualism in CBC, especially the fantasy that we can have skills without knowledge, I've had to look up what the philosophers (yes, those people who are irrelevant to the market) say about knowledge and skills.
So, knowledge, traditionally, means conviction, belief about facts and ideas. But skill is the knowing where, how, when to use that knowledge. So we can know water is denser than oil. Knowing how to put off an oil fire requires applying the knowledge that the properties of water will interact with the oil, not the fire. That means that skill is more intuitive, based on multiple forms of accumulated knowledge, than formally taught.
But Kenyans agreed with KICD that they don't want to teach children about the properties of oil and water because that is theory, and theory means cramming for exams.
I kept saying that it makes no sense to expect children to have a skill that applies knowledge that we haven't taught the children, but Kenyans accused me of wanting exams, because knowledge=exams. Skill is difficult to grade, that's why we have to assess using "meeting expectations." We have to assess every year, but yah, exam obsession has ended.
It's amazing.
So we got children swimming in the dust. The "practical" aspect of swimming is the strokes. Not the context of being in the water and moving in it. Therefore, children, oops, learners, will demonstrate swimming strokes practically in the dust. That's competence in swimming. Yay, #CBCisheretostay.

My reminder that the church that fought FGM in this country was PCEA.
Long before Woman’s Guild petitioned moi to criminalize FGM they had since 1929 been petitioning the colonial and successive governments about it.
They were asking for a law juu they understood systems. (1/2)

Marriage has no formula. Our parents and grandparents succeed in it without needing any masterclass. Anyone selling you tickets to teach you about Marriage is ripping you off. Stop those congames @MercyMasika just sing us good gospel music. Marriages leave it to God.

Kenya cannot be Serbia or Brazil because Kenyans majority of them see being working class as a transitional class, they have middle class aspirations and spend so much of their “strong years “ playing “make believe class theatrics” you can’t fix a disease that you have masked

This guy loves calling for the killings of people and then claiming he is misunderstood. What’s his fetish with death?
🚨A serving Somalian-Kenyan MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT / MP brazenly calls for Jews to be massacred, including American Jews “Let’s get those people! Let’s blow their brains out.”🚨
Shocking! @IsraelMFA @IDF @Israel
People should listen to Esther Perel and Jordan peterson, Even Brene Brown on what betrayal is, what it causes, what it shows about you the betrayer and what it will take to move on.
Dr. Salina Jelimo Wekesa has sparked an interesting conversation about infidelity in marriage. She argues that when men cheat, society often brushes it off but when women do the same, the backlash is much harsher.
The crowd’s laughter and nodding suggest that many relate to her observation.
Her advice to married women? Don’t limit intimacy to nighttime, keep the spark alive even during the day to help reduce the temptation to cheat.
But here’s the big question: Can satisfying your partner sexually really prevent cheating or is faithfulness a matter of character and personal choice?
What’s your take?

You have the unfortunate luck of being an unscrupulous president in a generation where the youth do not forget! Now you have to go defend your seat against a demographic that won't forget you butchered them. Every waking day is a new day to loose popularity. Hard Small!

The problem is that there are parents who actually believe him. The last time he said this, Kenyan parents took their kids to university without fees, quoting him, and were shocked when they were sent back home.
The truth is that Kenyans believe everything serikali says. Even when it doesn't match reality. We believe GoK is Jesus Christ. It performs miracles. It walks on water even when we know its impossible. That's why prophets thrive in Kenya. There's a general feeling among Kenyans that if mkubwa declares it, it will happen. There's some bible verse about that.

Sifuna and Kang'ata on paper seem like such a dream pairing. Ideologically, though, they are quite different. If they ever became president and deputy, they would need a concrete priority plan on nation building.
If you read Kangata's articles, there is an emphasis on capital accumulation, productivity, manufacturing and building large Kenyan corporations capable of competing globally. Very Kibaki-esque. He also has rather socially conservative views.
Sifuna, on the other hand, emphasis is on constitutionalism, the rule of law, accountability, reducing government wastage and relieving the economic burden on ordinary citizens. If you listen closely, infrastructure and economic development mean little if citizens cannot enjoy their constitutional rights, afford basic necessities or access functioning public services. Like a young James Orengo.
Kang’ata seems to be more interested in how the country creates wealth. Sifuna is more interested in how the state wields its power, manages public resources and serves its citizens.
I think both men mean well for the country, but those differences become important when you move from political philosophy to actual governance. They have a priority problem. A nation needs both the capacity to create wealth and institutions that prevent that wealth from being captured by a few.
Agreeing on what kind of Kenya you want is the easy part. The kizungumkuti is agreeing on what must be sacrificed, funded or postponed to build it.
