🎶🎶See this house of flesh is but a prison Bars of bone are holding my soul But these doors of clay, they all burst wide open When the angel sets my spirit free Then I'll take my flight like a mighty eagle Oh, the hills of home are calling me I'll take my flight like a mighty

This life… My community is known for business acumen and long distance trade. We also have some brilliant scholars across academic disciplines and specializations. Plus we easily run the supply and value chains because we have a strong mix of small, medium to huge businesses.

This life… Parliament makes laws. Judiciary interprets them. The Executive enforces them. Simple enough, but if only it was. There is a nerdy role that is rarely talked about — policymaking within the Executive, specifically the Presidency. I came across this discussion —

This life… Nakuru, Njoro, Elburgon and Molo — were once pristine elite playgrounds known for their beautiful landscapes and logging industry. The only problem — as it was described to me — is that economic factors prevented native laborers from having decent houses. The owners

This life… Only legends would know that the African drum was excluded/banned from Christian worship in the colonial era Church. It was retained in the African Christian Churches. Drum beats brought life to many communities. I recall one could hear them from very far even if
