Complaint about Mombasa Port Authority
As a concerned foreigner, one who wants the best for East Africans, I can’t help but file a serious complaint against the new Mombasa Port Authority: I have a friend who is trying to import a factory machine from China to jump start the coastal green economy. Six months ago, when he started the process, we read on Kenyan’s legal advice website that there was no customs or import duty on industrial machines from China....

Access Expanded, Quality Compromised? The Future of Kenya’s Higher Education Unless investments in staffing, infrastructure, and research match enrolment, the education system risks undermining its own achievements.
"All the news that's fit to print" or It’s not a conspiracy when it’s just shallow stupidity My whole life I have loved reading Time and Newsweek and The Economist magazines. But I have always noticed that while the articles are always imminently readable, and while they sound very intelligent, when they are about a place that I know well they always sound somehow torqued…the stories just aren’t fully true, with any deep contextual meaning....

SHAME ON SHARNICE MBINDI!!!! She stole our money from paypal months ago and paypal hasn't paid us back yet.
I first figured out that I was pregnant as a married graduate student at UPenn. I of course called the insurance folks so that I could be a responsible expectant mother and take my vitamins and follow the fetus’ development. But guess what: UPenn’s student health didn’t cover maternity care! Because what women between the ages of 18 and 28 get pregnant after all?...

Mom and Dad met at Reed College in Portland, Oregon when they were both still teenagers. They were married and my sister, Anamaria, was born before Mom turned 18. This was less shocking back in the 1950s but still not a very auspicious start to the Lloyd family life. Mom obediently dropped out of school – her dad wouldn’t pay expensive tuition if she was just going to sleep with boys....

Bishop Muge's death, Moi and the eerie cockerel attack
In August 1990, Bishop Alexander Muge defied Minister Peter Okondo's warning to avoid Busia or face death. Five days before his fatal journey (near Busia), retired Bishop Peter Njenga received a tip-off about a plot against Muge, but couldn't reach him. After Muge's suspicious road accident, (https://www.facebook.com/NTVKenya/photos/today-in-history-august-14-1990anglican-bishop-alexander-kipsang-muge-dies-in-a-/1068493868263160/?paipv=0&eav=AfaZGQSgac5avVcLaqnvxIKUpYDH9PhPCQsh9jVVdYS5vNz4R47YhMjsLpnYa1Z1DU4&_rdr) a rooster jumped on President Moi during a condolence visit and again on Muge's coffin during his funeral. These eerie events remain a powerful symbol of Bishop Muge's legacy in Kenya's struggle for democracy. His death, widely seen as state-sponsored, marked a dark chapter in the nation's history.
Sorry Kenya capital letters on the BAD possessing your country.
Is it true that we are just killing time until it kills us? What even is time? Einstein taught us that it truly IS completely relative. But we knew that! Those ten minutes in which you are getting your teeth drilled last a great deal longer than the ten minutes in your bath. Time is weird. Time is also culturally defined....

She taught me how to play solitaire right from the start. Before I learned how to say the name of the card game she called ‘big casino’ I called it ‘Baked Cresino”. It was a game with adding and subtracting and certainly helped my math skills. The solitaire game she explained to me was always (at least theoretically) winnable. But back in the days of decks of cards we both lost often....
