I just thought of one benefit that high speed internet services will bring to Kenyans on both sides of the Atlantic:
Free internet calling using medium’s like Skype.
Right now, if I want to talk to someone in Kenya using Skype, I have to pay a fee on my end. However, if that person in Kenya acquires [...]

Now, that the stock markets around the world seem to be collapsing, I want to return to talking about the production of real things (or “stuff”), Why? because (as we are painfully discovering), real economies are created by those who produce real things, not those who shuffle “paper” money around the world that’s created from [...]

Oh Stella. Dear, dear Stella. What were you thinking when you left Chicago to join the Nairobbery Stock Exchange? I know Chicago has one of the highest crime rates in America, but girl please — gangs in Chicago are not like gangs in Nairobi.

There’s no way Uhuru Kenyatta is running the ministry of finance. I was watching him at a news conference and he looked beaten down.

I guess some Indians are unhappy about the portrayal of India in the movie Slumdog Millionaire. They think people in the west will see the film and associate India only with filth and poverty.
