January is for Laughs!

Been a busy month!

My Daughter, Imani is now in Nursery 2, a promotion that has made her change the name of her school to Nursery two. That's the most beautiful part of the year for me, coming home to do homework and take a walk , me love love love being a mommy!

She drops the most ingenious thoughts this girl of mine. One time I come home from work. Some background info first: I keep some dried roses in the toilet, I am quite keen on my flowers becuase I dry them myself and pick on what essential oils to drop in..anyway, I knock on teh door and I get no hug, she says .." Mum, do you know your flowers jumped into the toilet!"

That's one. A few weeks ago I woke her up in the morning, the conversation went like this:

" Wakey wakey...there's a bit of homework you did not finish up"

She starts making roaring sounds.I wonder what she is upto, so I ask,

" Mani are you ok?"

" Mum, I am a Lion"

" Great! Now wake up quickly like a good lion so we get ready for school"

" But Mum, Lions don't do homework, they just dance!"

That's what Madagascar has taught my girl.LOL..she does make me laugh.

But Haiti, The Ethiopian Airline's crush, the consitution, and an economy that's still not on it's feet do worry me, a tad more than they should. What's my Moral Obligation to these issues? What can I do to make 2010 better for me and others around me?

I will take it one step at a time, my first step would be to give my best to my work, my family and myself.

I am now preparing my weekly programme..and I love getting excited about it!

An Open Letter to Prof Makau Mutua, keep your predictions to yourself.

Dear Prof. Makau Mutua, “I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be.” ― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye Prof, you and J.D Salinger clearly share no beliefs. And maybe you shouldn’t. But I feel that you would be the man with an evil laugh pushing the thousands of little children off the cliff. Let me explain. Your tweet on the 23rd of Dec 2012,in Buffalo, New York "@makaumutua I predict a military coup in Kenya after t...

THERE IS SUCH A THING AS EFFICIENT CORRUPTION

Yes there is! In countries where corruption is rife, you give in to corruption because you know you will get whatever it is you want, but here in Kenya, you could pay for it and pray for dear life that you get it. That’s inefficient corruption. These are the kind of insights that get me out of bed every last Saturday morning of the month. But the Topic was not on Inefficient corruption:-). Woflgang Fengler, who is the Lead Economist for the World Bank in Kenya was the main man at Aly Khan Satchu’s, :Mindspeak.The Business Club" , this past Saturday. After quite a party on Friday Evening, I made it just in time for the short and sweet look at Kenya’s Economic Outlook for 2010. It felt like I was in a Mini Davos, engaging with critical minds on the shape that the Kenyan economy is likely to take in 2010. ( I dare dream!) Fengler’s presentation was great, straight to the point and very well researched. Being an economist for the World Bank is no mean feat. It is a common notion th...
