What Does Donald Trump’s Return Mean for Africa?

Tim Baraza0 CommentsOpinionsAfrica, USA

The return of Donald Trump to the White House has some Africans believe that Washington should continue to focus on geo-strategy and efforts to invest in parts of the continent and strengthen diplomatic ties in Africa. Others worry about possibly stricter migration policies and less cooperation with the continent. With regard to the fundamental ideology at the heart of Trump's policies, political analysts argue that, Trump is a believer of isolationism in every respect and an inwards person. Biden has been more global, and stands for cooperation and partnerships, while Trump does not favour international cooperation with Africa. Trump's 2018…

Seller’s Grief: An Emerging Category of Risk in Real Estate

Reporter0 CommentsOpinionsReal Estate

This article will emphasize an idea that has far too long escaped real estate buyers and their legal representatives. It explores what is at stake when the emotional experience that the seller has been through, leading to them disposing of the property, informs the seller's attitude to the transaction, thereby positioning it as a specific category of risk. In real estate, this emotional undercurrent can be understood through a concept we might call seller's grief. Grief is frequently linked to the sorrow we feel when we lose someone with whom we had a deep connection, but it extends beyond that.…

The Role of Media and Government; Strengthening Public Communication in Kenya

Victor Bwire0 CommentsOpinionsPublic Communication, Public Relations, Victor Bwire

The communication landscape in Kenya, like in the rest of the world, has tremendously changed, demanding that players in both the public and private sectors quickly adapt. People who have ignored communication, especially those targeting mass audiences, whether in public or private sectors, are seeing their brands diminish as they struggle to find ways of sharing their impact with citizens and communities. The changed communication landscape requires the prioritization of strategic communication and investment in both human and media resources to quickly help clients, including the government, maintain touch and communicate their efforts to garner the critical mass required to…

Kipkalya Kones: Real Dynamics of the Deep State and Its Influence on Kenya’s Political Landscape

Kipkalya Kones0 CommentsOpinionsKalonzo Musyoka, Kipkalya Kones, Raila Odinga, Rigathi Gachagua, Uhuru Kenyatta, William Ruto

What is usually referred to as the "deep state" is not really a group of people sitting in a dark place pulling national strings. Instead, it narrows down to the control of three key elements of state; money, guns and people. The state is in fact sustained and run by just those three elements. The guys who control the money, the folks who control the instruments of state violence and the people who have the people, make up the deep state. At election time, two of those often gang up to defeat the third, but soon after the elections, they…

Alan Kasujja: Ugandan Youth Feel Disregarded and Unseen

Alan Kasujja0 CommentsOpinionsAllan Kasuja, Uganda, Yoweri Museveni

I am a life long student of Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. I have a deep understanding of his thinking and Andrew Mwenda says I cut him some slack because of the compromises he has to make to keep Uganda going. I disagree. Anyway- for the first time, I have serious questions about Mzee’s grasp of what Uganda’s young people are saying. You can’t tell them that “we are wealth creators and you should either join us or get out of our way” They want to create wealth too. They are desperate to join. But they feel unseen, unheard and…

Will Ruto Achieve His Promises with Rejection of Finance Bill 2024?

Capt. Ali Roba0 CommentsOpinionsAli Roba, Finance Bill, William Ruto

Despite the valid rejection of some aspects of the finance bill and the public outcry, I feel sympathy for President William Ruto, who is facing a difficult situation. If he borrows money, he faces public outrage; if he raises taxes, he encounters backlash. How can Ruto fulfill his promises without borrowing or increasing taxes? President Ruto has done remarkably well under these circumstances. He inherited a harsh reality with many debts from Uhuru Kenyatta’s tenure maturing in 2023 and beyond. He must balance executing visible projects with maintaining the country’s creditworthiness by paying off interest liabilities that are falling due.…

Here are lives at the intersection of fun and scary. One of my companions summed the whole experience up perfectly. He leaned back in his chair at dinner that night, shrimp taco in hand, “These are the kinds of experiences that give something back to you. They show you who you are in a whole new way.” These eight shots crystallize the hard work moms put into keeping their kids alive, happy, and healthy. They might give you the inspiration you need for filling out that card—or stand-alone for your mom’s interpretation. Bob Dyalon At the bottom of the mountain, my legs…
