Kenya ni Kipenzi

 


Kenya ni Kipenzi

Kenya ni kipenzi, nchi tulivu
Amani kaipa Mungu, daima milele
Natujivunie wana wake, tumpongeze
Kila siku, tuwe wakushukuru.

Kenya ni Kipenzi, kweli yapendeza
Tsavo, Amboseli – mbuga za wanyama
Kericho, Limuru – chai tamu sana
Kilifi, Kisumu – fuo zenye kung’aa.

Kenya ni kipenzi, nchi tulivu
Amani kaipa Mungu, daima milele
Natujivunie wana wake, tumpongeze
Kila siku, tuwe wakushukuru.

 

Pale Turkana – chimbuko la binadamu
Bonde la ufa – muujiza wake Muumba
Mombasa sawa– kisiwa shwari raha
Historia yetu tukufu – Amu (Tamu) Lamu.

Kenya ni kipenzi, nchi tulivu
Amani kaipa Mungu, daima milele
Natujivunie wana wake, tumpongeze
Kila siku, tuwe wakushukuru.

Wakenya watu wa bidii, sio wakaidi
Ukarimu pasi kuigwa, roho ya utu
Wanariadha wake sifika, ulimwengu
Kilimo, utalii, uvumbuzi, na mengi zaidi.


Kenya ni kipenzi, nchi tulivu
Amani kaipa Mungu, daima milele
Natujivunie wana wake, tumpongeze
Kila siku, tuwe wakushukuru.

Hata katika wakati wa dhiki, Kenya kweli ni nchi barikiwa na teule. Mandhari yake ni yenye kuvutia na wananchi wake wakarimu ajabu. Ndiposa ni vyema kujiuliza, ‘Nini naweza kuifanyia nchi yangu ili iimarike zaidi?’

Kenya Innovation Week 2023, Commonwealth Edition: Start-up Manenos

  The dates: 27 th November-1 st December 2023. The venue. The Edge Convention Centre, Nairobi, Kenya. Sweet things first. Innovators get to walk away with 500K each, in shillings. 47 of them, from all the 47 counties… on Jamhuri Day, 5 of them get to walk away with… that’s for the President H.E. William Ruto to announce. The funding is to enable them take their innovations to market and build viable businesses out of the same. PIA – The Presidential Innovation Awards, the president is that serious. The Start-up sessions are a serious affair, the titles a mouthful, the colon abused: (Session: Founder Stories: An Exclusive Interview with Leading High Growth Start-ups: Learning, Pivoting and Critical Decisions during and Unprecedented Accelerated Business Growth). Ok, some of the lessons when scaling up: Ask for help; Believe in yourself; Resilience; Change of Mind-set. What’s the share of Bill Gates in Microsoft? We are asked. We throw figures around: 30, 90, 50… the percentages…

A Short Run

  There is a shout. Startled, he looks back. Now, his phone is gone. He was out jogging, phone held in the hand, the beat synchronised to his strides. The boys, really young, three of them on a motorbike, laced in silver – rings and teeth. ‘Typical,’ he thinks. It rains. Heavily. The El Nino rains – on and off. He hurries home in the downpour, drenched. He is among a few lonely souls on the almost deserted stretch of road, poorly light. There is a soft honk. A lovely smile beams at him. Could be his daughter. He hops in. That’s how he is unrobed – Mpesa, Fuliza, two banks accounts linked to his smartphone. He will no longer be doing mobile banking. Christmas is here, Nairobi style. He takes a detour off his Christmas tunes – Boney M to Elvis. Before that, that kingly tune set in Chicago… ‘… on a cold and grey Chicago morn… and his momma cries…’ On the second alley, music blares – reggae, rhumba - young men with bowls, begging to bury their friends, their comrades. A few pairs of sh

Collaboration… organisations working together towards a common goal. That collaboration is survival, more so, currently when funding is diminishing…. What value do both partners offer? Can they find two problems that solve each other and go forward together? What informs collaboration/co-creation? Research, data… Venture Capital… good for tech start-ups that can sca
