My favorite part of resurrection is when they went back and didn’t find Jesus where they left him. Don’t let nobody find you where they left you. He got up. You can too. Nothing is too hard for God to fix.

In a span of two years President Ruto has made JOOTRH a level 6 hospital and recently declared the expansion of HomaBay county referral to level VI status. It’s been 60 years in the making and we are nothing but grateful for these shiny things. Onjelo Jagot.

⚠️ The Silent Killer Bug in Python Do NOT use "is" to compare values. The "is" operator checks identity; that is, whether two names point to the same object in memory. The equality operator(==) checks equality, that is, whether two objects hold the same value. For small integers and short strings, Python caches objects, so "is" sometimes works like the equality (==) operator. That's what makes it dangerous. It can make you think your code is working fine. For example, the code below is broken: a = 1000 b = 1000 print(a is b) # Output: False print(a == b) # Output: True But this one "works": a = 100 b = 100 print(a is b) # Output: True The problem is that your code behaves differently depending on how big the number is. That's a bug. Let's look at a string example: a = "hello" b = "".join(["hel", "lo"]) print(a is b) # Output: False print(a == b) # Output: True Same text, different objects. The "is" operator says no. The best way to do it is to use the equality operator(==) when you care about the value. This operator will give the same results. a = 1000 b = 1000 print(a == b) # Output: True Only use the "is" operator when comparing to None, True, or False.

You can rebrand however much you want ,but the call of our generation must be accomplished! We must answer this intergenerational differences. If you served in Moi government , Kibaki government , Uhuru government and Ruto government ,you must explain why you still want to lead us in the Fourth liberation. Hii sio matusi ama kukosa adabu ni swali tu kwa heshima. And we can support you! #PM

Every other day on X, there is a new thesis about Luos, Baba, Luo numbers, Luo succession and Luo political power. Please, breathe Talk about the Borana too. Talk about the Kamba, Kisii, Somali, Luhya, Kikuyu, Maasai, Turkana and every other Kenyan community. They have votes too
I feel like Luos are the biggest losers heading into 2027. Years of Odigaism and the cult-like following of Baba will finally cost them. They never won the presidency, yet Raila always found a way to arm-twist the government and force himself and his “tribe” into the next government. This time, they are backing an already losing side, with no clear Luo to rally behind, but William Ruto. There won’t be Baba to drag them into the next government. They don’t have the numbers to make a difference on their own, and for years they have relied on Luhya numbers and smaller communities to propel Luo interests. Now Sifuna has emerged, and that old arrangement may no longer work. And ironically, the man they should have been grooming as their kingpin, Babu Owino, is the very person they are fighting. 2027 could expose just how much of Luo political power was actually Baba’s.

Being a Luo is special. Out of 44+ communities, why is our political direction a pain some people's anuses. Every now and then on x, Luos. Please even talk about Boranas. They also have votes.

Over the weekend, former president Uhuru Kenyatta and his family attended the wedding of one of their heirs. It started at Don Bosco Shrine in Upper Hill, where a simple church wedding was conducted before everyone proceeded to Muthaiga for a garden reception. The reception was simple, classy and full of fun and games. At some point, the guests basically turned the place into a live podcast for the rich. There was no MC shouting Bag niya nini? As y’all can see, it was a big wedding without fimbo za Maasai, those funny Nigerian regalia tailored by that fundi mkora from the lakeside, or people spraying money as they sing zobu zobu. No helicopters dropping wash wash mikoras & politicians, no bridesmaids dressed like Christmas decorations, no balloons fighting for oxygen. Just a simple, expensive, well themed wedding. Even the wedding dress was not complicated. Just simple, decent and demure. No 17 layers of tulle, no dress occupying three seats in the reception, no bride looking like she’s carrying the entire wedding budget on her shoulders. Lakini huyo fundi Mmoja needs to stop being monotonous,, amekua too much!! 🤦🏽‍♂️ There was all sorts of food including sea food that guests didn't even bother to eat. The Alcohol that was being served there was nothing short of Don Julio & Glen, pombe huwa tunazionea tu 1824 where the wealthy go to enjoy rhumba & old school music on Sundays. Indeed, there is a difference between being rich and being wealthy. Behavioural patterns tell the story. One side is loud, the other is calm. One side wants everyone to know they have money, the other side assumes you already know. We call it old money. It doesn't shout for attention. Old money speaks in whispers. Sometimes the only evidence is the family tree, the surname and the fact that nobody is asking “How much was the venue? Guests came carrying cheques, small boxes probably gold watches & diamond necklaces. Kule kwa walala hoii & wannabe middle-class ni Kitanda, Gas cooker, mattress, skeleton sofas & duvet ndio hupeanwo. Another day to remind Wanjiku that marrying into wealth is not a CV application. You cannot expect to marry into a wealthy family when the most expensive asset in your name is an iPhone 17 that you spent nights inspecting ceilings to acquire it. Nobody is coming to rescue you and your relatives from poverty Njoki. Life is not a Nigerian movie where a mysterious billionaire uncle arrives in a Range Rover & asks for your hand in Mareej. With your certificate in catering, a father’s homestead sitting on a 50×100 plot somewhere in Kiharu, and your biggest family investment being a chicken that disappears every Christmas, sahau kuolewa kwa matajiri. The best you can get may be a teacher, police officer or fellow hustlers like us. But getting married into generational wealth? My sistaa that one requires more than a nice dress, good selfies, nose ring, tattoo & good blow job skills. The rich may marry the rich, wewe shinda hapo na hizo standard zako za matakataka na kwenyu hakuna mtu ashai kula sushi. Kama kawa sisi walala hoii hatuna maoni, Letu Jicho tu.👀

It is with deep sorrow that we mourn the passing of Dr. David Silverstein, the long serving personal physician to the late retired President H.E. Mzee Daniel arap Moi. Dr. Silverstein left a lasting impression to those he treated and we witnessed firsthand his attention to detail and empathy. To him, Mzee Moi was not merely a client. He was a human being whose health, dignity and wellbeing mattered deeply to him. He took time to listen, understand and care, bringing warmth to his practice of medicine. This was the same humanity and compassion he extended to everyone under his care. On behalf of the Moi family, I extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, led by his beloved wife Channa Commanday. We are deeply grateful to them for allowing Dr. Silverstein to walk with Mzee Moi throughout his journey of health. His care and friendship will always be remembered with gratitude. May God grant him eternal rest and give his family the fortitude to bear this great loss.
