To seniors btw, I have a crop of very competent advocates-to-be waiting to be admitted to the bar this November. These are people I can comfortably vouch for their determination, hardwork and competence having passed through my hands within my tutelage program. If in need of this, kindly dm me. (Needless to say, I am not charging any fee for the same. )

Cabinet has approved and forwarded to Parliament the Tertiary Education Placement and Funding Bill, 2024. The Bill collapses HELB, Universities Fund, TVET Funding Board, and KUCCPS into a single authority!

Deeply saddened to learn of the death of Prof Ngûgî wa Thiong'o, literary giant. We read his many works on African identity, linguistic injustice, and intellectual freedom in impressive #Gîkûyû language. Powerful impact and legacy. #NgugiWaThiongo
“If you know all the languages of the world but don’t know your mother tongue, that is enslavement,” Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o told me in 2015. “Tribalism is a colonial invention,” he added

It's #AfricaDay2025 and we share stories of our heritage, diversity, resilience, indigeneity, adaptation, and stewardship. At 2025Trees.com, we share our stories of #tree-growing in our homes and communities. #Leadership for a green continent.
Rooted in centuries of lived experience, African proverbs encapsulate traditional ecological knowledge, respect for nature, and sustainable practices. On #AfricaDay, here are some sayings that teach us lessons about our shared relationship with nature and the environment.

Trees grow silently, but with resilience and value addition to society- air quality, shade, wind-breaking, fruit, ornamental, and other value. On May 1, #LabourDay2025, let's learn from #trees as we reflect on our #labour. #LabourDay #Environment
