Unlocking conservation’s future: Why private developers are key to pacing up Kenya’s robust tourism industry
Rather than viewing conservation as a constraint, developers should see it as an opportunity – one that enhances land value, attracts global attention and aligns with the growing demand for sustainable investment.
By re-electing a man who insists climate change is the ‘greatest con job ever’ and ‘green new scam’ US became complicit in World War III
Just in case you hadn’t noticed, as an imperial power (even, historically speaking, the imperial power, the only one at its height to control quite so much of the planet in one fashion or another), this country, too, is growing ever older and (again) in its own strange fashion going down (as, of course, all great imperial powers do sooner or later).
Dissipating obsession with beggar-thy-neighbour mentality: Why China is Africa’s most willing, trusted partner

Beyond the disciplinarity: Modern university detests teamwork, glorifies ‘professor’ as the epitome of knowledge and a living silo

Ever since Jaramogi Oginga died on January 20, 1994, only three politicians from his geographical space have risen to a level qualified to be presidents of this country.

Mediocrity slur: ODM faction leader Edwin Sifuna is making some necessary noise but words have a way of turning truth on its head
In a beauty contest, it’s the ugly spots of the opponent that score points for you. In the Oburu’s faction’s thinking, “mediocrity” is not just a distortion of reality but an insult to a leader.
