Dear Entrepreneur, People want you to fail because it helps them to justify the risks they never took. Because your courage makes them uncomfortable.
Keep Walking. Keep Moving.
Nairobi traffic should issue certificates. After three hours on the road, you've mastered patience, anger management, breathing exercises and the ability to identify every billboard between home and work.
If they ask you why are you supporting Sifuna, please send them this video.
@edwinsifuna is the people's choice unopposed.
We should be able to say two things at once: some people become rich through corruption or exploitation, and others become rich honestly.
Both statements can be true. Pretending the first never happens is naïve. Pretending the second is impossible is equally dishonest.
The sensible position is to demand fair wages, proper taxation, competition and accountability while also celebrating people who build useful products, employ others and invest responsibly. An economy cannot grow on resentment alone.
It needs rules that punish wrongdoing and a culture that makes room for legitimate ambition.
When the cooking gas runs out in the middle of preparing supper, the whole house suddenly becomes a crisis-management committee. There is no agenda, no budget and absolutely no volunteer willing to eat half-cooked beans.
Aden Duale is running the Ministry of Health as if it's a broke Kiosk in Marsabit. Putting him in charge of the ministry was one of the biggest mistakes this country has allowed to happen.
A Kenyan payslip is an emotional document. You start reading at the gross salary with hope and reach the net pay wondering how many silent business partners you picked up along the way.
One of the most expensive mistakes you can make is confusing looking rich with becoming wealthy.
A person can drive a beautiful car and be drowning in instalments. Another can take a matatu, own shares, reinvest business profits and sleep peacefully because their bills are paid.
Real wealth is often painfully boring. It is a budget followed, a debt cleared, a skill improved, an asset bought and a temptation resisted.
There may be no applause and certainly no convoy. But those quiet decisions can change a family's future. Chase ownership and freedom, not the performance of success.
Our taps can go dry for days, but the water bill never misses an appointment. We are paying for water, storage containers, delivery and patience. At this point, my household deserves a diploma in survival engineering.
A queue is a merchant's headache: impatient customers, precious minutes lost. If a simple scan can cut the back-and-forth at the till, that's progress worth celebrating. #ScanToPay

Over 50,000 M-PESA QR codes rolled out, with 200,000 more expected. The real prize? Less payment hassle for the salonist, shopkeeper and pharmacist serving Kenya daily. #ScanToPay

A QR sticker isn't the revolution. A payment that works, a merchant who can confirm it, and a customer who trusts the process? That's the revolution Kenya needs at the till. #ScanToPay

The future of payments may be hanging beside Mama Mboga's sukuma wiki. No shouting till numbers. No mistyped digits. Just scan, confirm and pay. #ScanToPay

More than 50,000 M-PESA QR codes are out, with another 200,000 planned. But the real win? When paying for tomatoes feels just as easy as paying for groceries. #ScanToPay

Great technology fits life. From roadside kiosks to supermarket checkouts, paying should feel easy and familiar. Kenya is getting there, one scan at a time. #ScanToPay
