If Chinese takes your Cows, IMF and others take your milk, everyday
Are you worried that the Chinese loans will take over our cow? You should be equally worried that the IMF and World Bank loans will take all your milk every morning and make laws that will govern your personal life.
Should SMEs Beg Banks for Their Own Money?
In my last article titled, Kenyan Banks Stuck in Traffic, some complained about the powerlessness of SMEs. They said that banks don’t want to risk their money with SMEs. But who owns the money the banks hold is what’s been misunderstood by such complaints.

Kenyan Banks Stuck in Traffic
While Saccos lead the way in the dead assets craze, banks in Kenya lead in the lazy assets category. Unaware that crazy and lazy are cousins, they create traffic whose evidence is oversubscribed treasury bills. Instead of lending where wealth and sustainability is created, they choose to lend to foolish and corrupt pockets.
I am a MAN! not a youth!
The men between 18- 45 hidding behind this demeaning label must reclaim their dignity. The men between 18-45 who form the largest portion of men in this nation must step in confidently into their rightful name. In a figure of speech, if you call a lion a hyena long enough it starts scavenging like a hyena. These are lions lost in scavenging and must summon themselves to hunting again!
Ministry of Shopping, Borrowing and Poverty Management
Even though the Kenyan economy has plentiful fertile tropical Land, enviable youthful population in their millions and billions of public and private Money running after dead, idle and lazy assets, the economy is impotent.

THE NEW ABNORMAL
I can befriend you online in a pseudo name even though we live in the same neighborhood as perfect strangers. Stay apart but connect with humanity, without the human connection, physical connection. We might as well have an Ethernet or USB port on our skulls for ours is quickly becoming a virtual existence. It’s not humans giving up their freedoms, it’s simply humans giving up humanity. We are tired of humanity, we simply want to be a node in supercomputers network
Humanity Lost to Masks
The cues that come from a subtle single twitch or quiver on the lip that tells you that your friend is afraid, angry or in deep mourning. The cue that cannot be put into words that instantly begs a hug, a tight hug that miraculously absorbs all that pain and distress in the very same instance. An instance where insanity beckons but is waded off by a timely fluffy bear hug invited by a subtle twitch on the lip. We humans are about to lose that. Stolen by masks.
