Anyone who has confirmed yet
🚨 BREAKING: Tensions reportedly boiled over between Manchester City teammates Erling Haaland and Enzo Fernández following today’s 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest. Haaland was allegedly seen refusing to shake Enzo’s hand after the final whistle. Sources claim that inside the changing room, the Norwegian turned to his teammate and said: “Why does it look like you run in boots made of cement?” The exchange reportedly left several City players stunned, with one teammate asking whether the boots were actually sponsored by a building company. More to follow.

Things I cannot take for granted while living in my '3rd world' Kenya: - the liberty to grow my own indigenous food. From shamba direct to the kitchen. - not needing to work 3 jobs to afford basic needs. - eating healthy isn't expensive - access to free roaming chicken, goat, sheep, beef etc With good governance, Kenya can can offer the best for every Kenyan.

When the President summons you, you should be able to bring yourself to his presence within 4 hours and if outside the country, within 24 hours because it is expected that we are that connected globally ~ Ramogi Odhiambo

He sure has enough on his @ChelseaFC plate. No time for silly games and tricks
🚨 Xabi Alonso: “I am absolutely never telling players not to go to their national team. If they are fit, they are available”. “With Cole, we didn’t speak about England. We are focused on Chelsea: how to do better, how to help him. Those are our topics. We speak about Chelsea. We have enough on our plate”.

Most people in advanced economies know when to exit public life. Following the significant vote against Republicans in the US, some public servants are resigning. How long before our baddies take cue

The price of assets reflects return on investment. This cow will produce 6500kg/lactation (300days). It needs 18kg of dry matter a day eg 54kg of silage ~ 12.5 MT/ year @ ~ Sh10/kg 6500kg milk 12.5MT feed = Sh190k Gross margin analysis 2022 @ Sh35/kg milk Sh 227k-Sh190k =Sh37k 2026 @ Sh50kg Sh325k-190k=Sh135k Prices of both heifers and feed have gone up because dairy farming is more profitable. Its a sellers market.
Replying to @DavidNdii
@DavidNdii was talking about me & the pricing of my cows on the NCBA Economic Forum. Should a good incalf heifer really be 300k? As someone who is been actively in this business since 2018, the biggest driver of heifer prices is the cost of production. Guess who is at fault?

Voting rights should be proportionate
I think democracy is flawed because the voting rights of the wise and the fools are equal. But the fools have immense numerical advantage

Intelligent people know how to communicate in simple language. I believe in keeping things straightforward and avoiding unnecessary complications. Life is already complicated enough; there is no need to make it harder than it has to be. Let's keep things simple.

I don't like complicating issues. Life is complicated enough. Can we just keep things simple
Smart people deliberately use simple language.

I agree 💯
I think Kenya should ammend the Constitution and introduce midterm elections for MPs and Governors so that citizens can easily remove the ones who are corrupt and not working.

This is how Democracy is supposed to work. Voters protecting their interest at the Ballot
The power of America's democracy to self correct is remarkable and has few parallel in the West. For two years, America had a President in Trump who saw himself as an Emperor above law, a Supreme Court that danced to his tune, a legislature that was a rubber stamp with zero oversight over the executive. Then one morning on 3rd November, the American people woke up, went to the polling stations and swept aside Trump and his entire Kleptocracy. The people's power to cleanse their democracy, through elections and remind the politicians who the ultimate bosses are, is a very powerful tool in their hands.

The World Bank’s latest Economic Update for Kenya identifies corruption as the main constraint on the country’s economic potential, saying it widens the fiscal deficit by about 2% of GDP and pushes the cost of services such as power and logistics to more than double those in other parts of the world. About 39% of firms name corruption as their top constraint, and World Bank Country Director for East Africa Qimiao Fan said governance reforms could raise GDP by almost 9% relative to the current path, and more ambitious ones by more than 20%. The report says ambitious reforms could support over 7.7 million additional, higher-quality jobs and lower public debt as a share of GDP by 2035, and Fan stressed most reforms need no extra fiscal spending.

It is with immense pride that I welcome the election of Judge Phoebe Okowa to the International Court of Justice for the 2027-2036 term, and congratulate Judges from the UK, France, Singapore and Jordan on joining the Court. Judge Okowa’s election reflects the confidence of the international community in her capacity to serve the Court at this consequential time. We deeply aporeciate members of both the General Assembly and Security Council for their votes. We are equally indebted to Sierra Leone, Korea and Ecuador for withdrawing their candidatures after the third round and helping avoid a protracted electoral process. And to our Teams supporting this campaign- thank you all. Congratulations @Phoebe_Okowa. @ForeignOfficeKE @MusaliaMudavadi @WilliamsRuto

Congratulations @Phoebe_Okowa on your election as ICJ judge
Amazing news! ... and yes, I could not agree more that @SingoeiAKorir and @eelokaale, have been exceptional for her campaign. Importantly, a really good choice for international justice especially during a very consequential season. nitter.gq/Dr_OOwiso/status/21176…

You will thank yourself 10 years from now for sifting through the noise, identifying opportunities herein and taking advantage of them.
David Ndii on Kenya's National Infrastructure Fund (NIF) and the growth needed to sustain it: — Kenya targets ~$10B (KES 1.3T) in infrastructure deals by Q1 2027. A ~$1.5B (KES 195B) airport deal has reportedly closed, with a ~$1.5B highway concession, power projects and a major railway investment in the pipeline. — The NIF aims to mobilise ~$40B (KES 5T) over 10 years, shifting major infrastructure investments off the national budget. — Infrastructure spending accounts for ~1.5 percentage points of Kenya's ~5.5% fiscal deficit. Alternative financing could ease fiscal pressure. — Kenyans spent ~KES 500B on infrastructure services in 2025, equivalent to 3.1% of GDP, including KES 225B on electricity, KES 210B on transport and roads, and KES 65B on water and sewerage. — KES 5T in new infrastructure would require ~KES 1T in annual revenue: ~10% for operations and maintenance and ~10% for debt servicing and investor returns. — Ndii estimates Kenya's economy must triple to over KES 50T within a decade, requiring ~6.5% annual real GDP growth, to generate sufficient infrastructure revenue. — He identifies four growth drivers: export-led agriculture, BPO and IT-enabled services, regional financial and logistics services, and industrial investment in green manufacturing, mining and mineral processing.
