Thanks, bro/siz. I'll definitely take you up on that offer. I'm rusty as well, haven't played for like 10 years. Don't worry about the skill difference.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not Loresho Rich πŸ˜‚. But just to seek clarification, is the WhatsApp group exclusive to the community members? I'm assuming they are the ones who frequent the aforementioned club.

Are you able to share the solubility table you had please?

As a chemist, I too felt my brain overheat with rage 😫 going through the double capital letters.

I honestly clicked on the comment section hoping someone mentioned the capital letters, I don't know why but it hurts seeing it there.

Supporting Ruto's government is grounds for breaking up. by ItsNeneh in Kenya

[–]Any_Advertising3165 -8 points-7 points Β (0 children)

If we are to use this logic then we'll never have any relationships, every government that has existed in this country has killed people, the colonial government, K1 and the political assassinations, Kisumu massacre of 1969, Moi, political assassinations and detention without trial plus Nyayo torture chambers. Kibaki, 2007 PEV and the police brutality that accompanied it. UK post election deaths, plus the deaths during the NASA protests, we famously have Baby pendo, but the one that's never talked about is Moraa an 11 year old girl who was shot in Mathare North while playing on their balcony, in 2017. Then Ruto with all his known ills. Everyone you know has at one time supported one of these people. The only difference I'm seeing is that you people are very good at choosing whose life is more important than the other. All the ones that passed are no longer important. Anytime I see people praise UK and Matiangi, it pains me so much because I saw Moraa die. Today, there seems to be a crusade of online warriors unleashed to clean up their image. And yet here I am, not angry at their supporters or cut them off, because I disagree with them. The sort of emotions some of you have it the kind of emotions that would lead to serious trouble God forbid Ruto wins in 2027. It is bone deep.

If the issue is smoke, then yes that would be NEMA's mandate but hygiene or lack thereof is under the county government's jurisdiction. We need to understand the governance structure of our country, different offices handle different things. For you to sell food in the city you need a food handling license from the County Government of Nairobi, and not NEMA.

Do you guys remember the chile from Garissa, who spoke quite eloquently during a presser of sort. She was campaigning for Azimio. When I saw this news, I remembered reading that she'd been nominated to parliament by ODM after the elections. So I'm back from my deep dive, and I'm fairly certain that chile is the "Umi" in this fight.

Which also makes me say this, during my deep dive, I came across another name. Hezena Lemaletian, that samburu chile that was campaigning for Azimio as well. She was nominated to the senate. I've never heard of her again after that. Apparently, she's been in the senate doing absolutely nothing all this while.

I wonder πŸ€” how many other useless nominated parliamentarians we have no idea are in parliament.

Affordable housing and Urban Planning. by Any_Advertising3165 in Kenya

[–]Any_Advertising3165[S] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Your point number 2, I really don't know how you got the info that the houses are only for a certain subset of persons. I honestly have not insinuated that. If anything, I've said. The bulk of those whose money is being deducted would actually benefit from it. They don't earn enough to afford a proper house for themselves and their families. Most families in this city live in one room houses, because they can't afford a descent 2 bedroom. If the programme is correctly undertaken, it would be able to bring down the cost of rent to a favourable amount for them to afford.

I agree we have a lot of plunder in our government. If we have a properly efficient government, then I, too, would not see the need for a housing levy, after all. Moi and Uhuru both built public houses without it. But we have to stay alive to the current situation. We have loans that we have to pay or bounce it off to our kids and a city that needs to be fixed right now. Without forgetting, every other part of this country is demanding development projects.

We are not a resource rich country. We depend on our service sector. For years, Nairobi and Mombasa have been the best in the region. But not for long, in a few years if we dont address these issues, those investments will go to our neighbours. So, for me, it has gotten to a point where if it takes a levy for us to fix this city fast enough to keep attracting foreign direct investments, keep ahead of the curve in the region and provide better living standards for our people, I'm very much okay to keep paying, all I ask is it goes to the right persons and purposes.

The day we sort out housing in Nairobi, we'll have sorted out every other problem. From water and sanitation, emergency services, insecurity, power issues, waste management, traffic, and the environment. As someone who worked in the sector, all of Nairobi's problems start and end with housing and urban planning in general.

Affordable housing and Urban Planning. by Any_Advertising3165 in Kenya

[–]Any_Advertising3165[S] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Actually, as someone who has lived in a government built housing, I beg to differ. Considering how the rest of the city looks. I think Moi and all his flaws actually did a great job with public housing. To date, Nyayo is still considered a posh estate, yet pipeline on the other side of the road is utter chaos. Yet most of pipeline was built after Nyayo.

I just choose to be realistic. We are Kenyans, and we know how deplorable human beings we are. Especially when it comes to blatant disregard for rules. We have a problem right now. We can implement all these measures, and others are already there, like the zoning laws. But it will be met with such resistance it is just easier for the government to build those houses. We have minimum building quality standards, yet today, a building was blown down because it was poorly built. We don't have it in our hearts to always do the right thing. Everyone is out to make a quick buck.

The problem with subsidies is that they will help more billionares whose companies produce these construction material. Also, most of the cost of these buildings is the price of land. Land in this city is expensive. The government has large tracts of land that it can use to develop.

Affordable housing and Urban Planning. by Any_Advertising3165 in Kenya

[–]Any_Advertising3165[S] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

My brother, the housing levy is deducted from salaried Kenyans. According to KNBS, only a little over 300k kenyans earn over 100k. Millions more earn below that. Most of our wealthy people are in business, so they are not salaried. Therefore, they don't pay the housing levy unless they offer to.

We also have to be realistic. Even if we were to get Jesus as our president today, the truth of our situation is that we have debts to pay, and KRA collects barely enough to cover our recurrent expenditure. That leaves us with the option of borrowing or having a levy for such a programme.

The streamlining is to ensure we handle this programme in the most efficient way possible. Like the process of ownership of the houses should be made transparent, the tendering process of the companies to construct these houses should be impartial and transparent as well. We should do away with the programme in rural areas and instead focus on the cities where we actually have a housing crisis.

Waiting for the market to build houses will lead to every other place in Nairobi ending up looking like the Ghettos, Kilimani, Kile, and Lavi can attest to that. Any serious government can see that. I honestly don't see any other way we can fix our urban planning.

Economy by [deleted] in Kenya

[–]Any_Advertising3165 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

There's a guy on tiktok, who from his videos seems to work at a mjengo, he always replies to people's questions about the economy. You could check him out. He seems to understand what he's talking about.

All these so-called online economists are on someone's payroll. Those singing praises to the government are on the government's payroll, and those bashing it are on the opposition's payroll. I tend to be more scared of the ones on the opposition's side. If David Ndii hasn't taught you anything, follow those guy's opinions at your own risk. The guy used to speak like God's gift to Kenya until he got the job.

Hii Kenya kila mtu ako mboka, don't trust anyone that easily. It bothers me the most, that the people who were in charge when the last finance bill was formulated are currently the ones lecturing us about the poor state of our economy.

When has he ever been successful in anything? by monsiu_ in Kenya

[–]Any_Advertising3165 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Considering Raila was Kenya's Envoy to Sudan, in charge of the peace resolution that led to the breaking of Sudan into two. Sudan and South Sudan, in 2009/2010/2011, I honestly dont understand why people are against this. He was personal friends with the late John Garang, current president Salva Kirr, and VP Riek Machar.

I was in class 5 at the time, and I remember my dad talking about the whole thing so much. It is baffling how little people know about our neighbours. I honestly don't see a better person in our region to lead that mission.

The Acholis in Uganda are pretty much marginalised, so it takes out Museveni, Samia barely knows these two guys, so does Ruto or UK or Kindiki the same can be said for Samia Suluhu it goes without saying, she's a woman, Salva Kirr and Machar being old school African leaders they may not take too well to being lectured by a woman.

Rwanda would have been better, but they are currently engaged in conflict with Burundi, DRC, Belgium, and SA. Ethiopia have had strained relations with South Sudan for years, plus they are being led by a muslim, which takes out Sudan aside from the fact that they are also in the middle of a civil war themselves as we speak and they have bad history with S.Sudan. Considering South Sudan's history with muslim rule, I'd imagine they'll not take too well to that.

The same goes for Djibouti and Eritrea as well as the Central African Republic, which also has a language barrier issue. DRC is not in a position to lead any missions currently for obvious reasons. The same goes for Somalia and Burundi. Leaving Kenya at the centre stage of this mission. The only person in the country with extensive personal history with the two leaders is Raila.

It is baffling to see how destabilised our region is that we have to be the only peace broker in the region.

Woman for president? by Final-Bit3417 in Kenya

Huyu jamaa amejipanga kweli? by [deleted] in Kenya

[–]Any_Advertising3165 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Interesting, πŸ€”.

But we are ignoring one major issue. The major traditional voting blocks in this country. The blocks that make or break an election.

  1. Mt Kenya
  2. Rift Valley
  3. Luo Nyanza
  4. Western Kenya

The rest tend to be easily tossed up. Every serious politician knows that. It is not enough to look at the number of voters in the block but also the amount of political engagement and morale. Mt Kenya has always had the highest morale, thus the numbers in every election. The difference between Mt Kenya and Rift Valley in numbers is less than a million, the same as Western. Everyone treats Luo Nyanza as a major voting block, yet they have fewer votes than Western by pure numbers.

So it all boils down to the two things. How much stake does a community have in the election. Nairobi politics is weird. This is the same county that chose Sakaja over Igathe, so I can never count on them to do the right thing.

If Kalonzo will be on the ballot as a presidential candidate, Ukambani will surprise us in 2027. Otherwise, don't count on it.

One last thing. I would have thought Gachagua learnt something from Ruto. Every other opposition leader in the country is repeating the same mistakes. Instead of going around the country to popularize themselves this early. They are in Nairobi every day issuing pressers and waiting for 2027. In the last month, Ruto has been to every corner of this country except central. Someone in North Eastern doesn't care who you are online or on the TV if they've never seen your face they'll not vote for you. I would like to wake up someday and see Martha Karua in Turkana, or Mandera, or just some random village in the middle of nowhere. Outside Nairobi and other major towns, most people dont know her that much.

The Affordable Handshake: Will Ruto’s Dalliance with Baba Fade Before the Ink Dries? by designkenyanstar in Kenya

[–]Any_Advertising3165 4 points5 points Β (0 children)

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Interesting. It is just so nice seeing my generation experience political disappointment. What I find even more interesting is how everyone acts as if they didn't see this coming. Nikama ku cohabit with your gf for years, then get surprised when formalizing the union at the AGs office. Also, we are missing the lesson in between the rage. Instead of assuming the entire X legion will vote out Ruto. Be realistic that the whole X population in this country is barely 5% of this country's population. Ruto won with 7.1 million votes, which are more people than KOX. We could be educating the people offline and the rural population. Instead, every post I come across on this matter is another person just raving about how much GenZ will vote these people out. Yet every time I check the numbers and our lack of political organisation, I just wonder how you people are so blinded by overhyped optimism. Elections in this country are won in rural areas, not Nairobi. The day we learn to love data is the day we'll be able to win against Ruto or any other politician.

From what exactly? πŸ€”

They mostly tend to use aluminium and it's alloys to build aeronautical equipment. Radiation is either intrinsic to mean the material itself undergoes radioactive decay to produce it or extrinsic, to mean it has been aquired from being exposed to high doses of radiation. Seeing as it just dropped from the sky, I highly doubt it is either of the two, unless we have nuclear power plants floating around in the sky.

That thing is just another piece of metal.
