Mergers and acquisitions galore in the Kenyan banking sector. Aside from the high brow explanations, there's need for mtu wa kawaida explainers as to what is happening, why it is happening and how it all impacts regular Kenyans.

Face time. On speaker. In an enclosed public place. And it's a grown probably 25 - 30 woman. Nashangaa. Youngins were really raised poorly. Sigh. A 2026 version of 'Je huu ni Ungwana?' needed. Would be a good use of the endless Toks and pods 🤷♂

So I made some friends in Malaysia. Then found out that we our pay scales aren't very far from each other. An engineer there starts at 100k to 130k where ours starts at 50k to 80k. But guess what? They have double or triple our purchasing power.

The risk of AI for education is not students cheating in exams, it is people in general cheating themselves into believing they understand things they don’t.
