What DADDY SEES when he gets up to shut the window. Inspired by @ssmusoke.
You notice someone actually ripped the window mesh, but no one told you.
You also notice the garden tap is dripping.
You go out to close it, only to find an abandoned shoe by the sand pit.
Then you realise that one of the security lights has blown too.
You make a mental note to fix it the next day.
You return to the house carrying the lone shoe and keep it safely until its owner comes looking for it the next day.
They will need it when it is time to go out and play.
And somewhere in that very ordinary chain of events is a parent's responsibility: the torn mesh, the running tap, the blown light, the missing shoe...waiting for somebody to notice.
And then Daddy sees and fixes it all.

Happy Independence Day to colleagues & friends in Uganda.
Here's the original version of the anthem by George Kakoma. The 1st phrase was 'Oh Uganda, thy people praise thee'. A week before independence, tho, the Church of Uganda bishop protested that God was nowhere mentioned. 1/

So many great quotes about fatherhood to inspire fathers.
"Noble fathers have noble children."
- Euripides
"Any man can be a Father, but it takes someone special to be a dad."
- Anne Geddes
"It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was."
- Anne Sexton

Glad to have been in this space with amazing people.@jacobzik.Good job you are doing my brother !
@jacobzik opening the TBN summit in Nairobi; making a case for entrepreneurship. “Africa has received the equivalent of 6 marshal plans, show me the results…?” Most NGOs are wasteful. Invest money in entrepreneurs. It’s the silver bullet for creating jobs and ending poverty.

For context, a couple of minutes before, I’d seen a cop hurl teargas into the Holy Family Basilica parking lot where the medics had set up their tent. Did not make sense to me because I could see protestors at the exit gate of the church, so ideally that tear gas should have been lobbed at them. But this was almost directly towards the tent. I tried making my way round to go see what was happening there, and I saw her coming out of the gate, coughing, headed straight at the cops. Intuition screamed to follow her…and my heart broke with every second of this dialogue.

You will never convince our generation that you can ever be trusted, ever again. When young people marched patriotically, wearing Kenyan flags on their backs and raising their voices, you responded with bullets and death. And NOW you have supposedly ‘heard’ and want dialogue? For 20 months you have been speaking, it’s our time now.
No more commissions of enquiry, no more multisectoral taskforces, no more reports, no more diverting our attention. If you have heard us, then no more talking—just act. We want to wake up in the morning with budget allocations reworked, with the Appropriations Bill overhauled, your MPs sacked, your Cabinet Secretaries sacked, the wheels of Constitutional amendments to begin turning, and your resignation on Gen-Z's desk for them to decide whether to accept.
This will go down in history, and we are no longer in an era where history can be manipulated. #RutoMustGo

Freed by his words: A protester secures freedom for himself and his fellow demonstrator by articulating the reasons behind their protests, advocating for his and other Kenyans' rights, during the #RejectFinanceBill2024 protests.

Uganda 's forest cover plummeted from 23% nationally in 1993 to 9% in 1990. Plantations ( like pine) have pushed this back to 13% but we are in real trouble. The case for LNG ( Liquified Natural Gas) being made here by @mmugerwa @COP28_UAE @ugandainvest @OPMUganda @MEMD_Uganda

Today in The Hague, not to answer for any high-spirited shenanigans (and gerrymandering;-) but at the #ImpactFest - Europe’s premier Impact Investing event. We are talking business. Entrepreneurship. Investing. @CKJapheth
