Kaende huko na hako kachama kake
Kalonzo Musyoka: I am the party leader of Azimio la Umoja and Ukombozi Alliance. We are hoping that our other friends from DCP and Linda Mwananchi will join. Ukiona vyaelea, jua vimeundwa, and we are in the process of kuunda mwelekeo mpya.

Huyu akirudi they constituents have themselves to blame!
We have broken ground on a new Surgical Block at the Homa Bay Teaching and Referral Hospital; a significant investment in the future of healthcare for Homa Bay and the surrounding region.
This facility will expand surgical capacity, relieve pressure on existing wards, improve patient flow, and create a better environment for specialised surgical services, enhancing access to care and reducing the burden of travelling long distances.
The investment includes both infrastructure improvements and support for our healthcare workers who provide these essential services. We extend our sincere gratitude to Cabinet Secretary for Defence Hon. Soipan Tuya, Senator Moses Kajwang', MP Hon. Peter Kaluma, MP Hon. Dr. Eve Obara, the County Assembly leadership for joining us to mark this momentous milestone for Homa Bay.

The second man to ever walk on the moon came home and ended up selling Cadillacs at a dealership in Beverly Hills.
Buzz Aldrin was 39 when he stepped onto the moon in 1969. About two years later he was sitting in an Air Force doctor's office in San Antonio, telling someone for the first time that he was depressed. By the end of the '70s he'd been through two divorces and a drinking problem that nearly killed him.
If you've ever hit a big goal and felt weirdly flat a week later, you've had a tiny version of what happened to him. And there's a real reason for it.
Back in the '90s a neuroscientist named Wolfram Schultz recorded single dopamine neurons in monkeys while giving them juice. When the juice came out of nowhere, the neurons lit up. Then he started flashing a light right before the juice, and pretty quickly the monkeys figured out what the light meant. The neurons started firing at the light instead. The juice itself, the thing they actually wanted, didn't get a spike anymore. And if the light flashed and no juice showed up, the neurons dropped below normal.
So your brain cashes in on the dream the moment it starts looking real. By the time you actually get there, it already spent the money, and the only thing left that can still surprise you is losing it.
That's the anxiety this guy is talking about, the one about making it and becoming somebody, and every one of us is walking around with that wiring.
Jim Carrey learned this the hard way. He was the first actor Hollywood ever paid $20 million for one movie, and in 2005 he told a reporter he wished everybody could get rich and famous and get everything they ever dreamed of, just so they could see it's not the answer.
Honestly, the oldest version of this video is in the Bible. Ecclesiastes is written as a king in Jerusalem looking back on his life. He built houses, planted vineyards, dug pools and stacked up silver and gold, and then he called all of it hevel. He uses that word 38 times. It means vapor, like your breath on a cold morning that's gone in a second. Most English Bibles just say "vanity."
My favorite part comes in chapter 9. He tells you to eat your bread with joy, and a few verses later he says "whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." The guy who called everything vapor still told you to go all in.
Aldrin got sober in 1978 and spent the decades after that trying to get people to Mars, chasing the next big thing without needing it to make him somebody.
Ata AI hamwezi tumia vizuri, si muanze na ICDL kwa hiyo department ata?

A father’s love for his daughter never ends, even when her time here does.
There are no words to describe the heartbreak of losing a child or the emptiness that lasts a lifetime. The years may pass, but the love, the memories, and the longing to have her here with us never fade.
If you are able, please consider making a donation to support us as we walk to honor Autumn this Saturday. These donations, no matter how small, help fund life-saving research, suicide prevention education, and support for families who know the unimaginable heartbreak of losing someone they love.
Autumn will always be my daughter, our heroic archer. She will always be loved and always be a part of everything I do.

Why does the World Bank sound exactly like Sifuna?
Will @WilliamsRuto now brand the World Bank "Mr Empty?"
Or will the UDA regime now claim that the World Bank has moved its headquarters into Sifuna's coat pocket?
Key Takeaways From the World Bank’s Kenya Economic Update (Edition No. 34):
— Anti-corruption reforms could increase Kenya’s GDP by 8.7%–22.3% by 2035 relative to a no-reform scenario, improve job opportunities for up to 7.7M people and boost household consumption by up to 27%.
— Anti-corruption reforms could reduce Kenya’s debt-to-GDP ratio by up to 18% relative to the baseline. Improved governance could also lower external borrowing costs by 50–100 basis points, saving USD 50M–100M annually.
— Governance weaknesses are estimated to widen Kenya’s annual fiscal deficit by ~2 percentage points of GDP through revenue leakages, inefficient spending and procurement irregularities.
— Some 39% of Kenyan firms identified corruption as a major business constraint in 2025, up from 25% in 2013, while 36% reported experiencing at least one bribery request in the preceding year.
— ~48% of medium-sized firms reported being expected to provide gifts to public officials, compared with 36% of small firms and 31% of large firms. Firms exposed to bribery were over 30% less likely to innovate.
— Informal workers, accounting for 83.8% of employment, can lose up to 20% of their daily earnings to bribes demanded by police and municipal officials.
— Electricity for Kenyan businesses costs over 2X as much as in Vietnam and ~50% more than in Uganda. Mombasa Port ranks 375th out of 403 ports globally in the Container Port Performance Index.
— Kenya’s GDP growth is projected at 4.6% in 2026, 4.4% in 2027 and 4.8% in 2028, compared with 4.6% in 2025 and 5.2% in H1 2026.
— The current account deficit is projected to widen to 4.3% of GDP in 2026 from 2.8% in 2025, reflecting higher import costs and weaker remittances.
— Kenya’s FY2025/26 fiscal deficit widened to 6.8% of GDP from 6.0% in FY2024/25, exceeding the original 4.7% target. Expenditure reached 24.1% of GDP against a budgeted 22.2%.
— Public debt stood at 69.9% of GDP in June 2026, with domestic debt accounting for 56.2% of the total. Interest payments consumed 33.6% of government revenue, equivalent to 5.8% of GDP.
— Inflation increased to 7.3% in October 2026 from 4.6% a year earlier, driven by food (+10.2%) and energy (+10.4%) prices. The CBK maintained its policy rate at 8.75%.
— Private sector credit growth accelerated to 10.6% in September 2026 from 5.0% a year earlier, although lending to manufacturing contracted by 1.8%.
— Poverty is projected to decline marginally to 41.4% by 2028 from 43.0% in 2026, while ~84% of employment remains informal, limiting productivity and income growth.
