I believe young people in Kenya deserve access to dignified, fulfilling work and quality education—fuelling hope, dignity, equity, and freedom. When we invest in their potential, we ignite economic growth and build a future where every youth can live a healthy, productive life.

To promote tax certainty and investor confidence, Kenya should adopt a Finance Act every 5 years—not annually, with room for emergency provisions. Frequent tax changes erode predictability, disrupt long-term business planning, and weaken policy trust. #TaxReform

A very thoughtful piece by Ken Opalo on how Kenya’s opposition can defeat President Ruto in 2027. Strategic and practical insights worth reflecting on. Key pointers here for Martha Karua SC, David Maraga and others. 👇 africanistperspective.com/p/how-kenyas-o…

The notion that developing countries can bypass manufacturing — and leap straight to services instead — ignores how every major economy actually developed.

Hey Grok, who are the leading scholars in the field of development economics or economic development? just names, no need to tag them.

Nicholas Kaldor's three growth laws, developed in the 1960s, are still remarkably relevant for understanding the process of economic development. They are: (1) The growth of GDP is positively related to the growth of the manufacturing sector. (2) There is a positive
