Kenya's delegation at COP 28 is twice the size of the EU's, with 765 delegates. However, it's concerning that the majority are government officials rather than climate experts. President Ruto claims the economy is booming, but projections show 40% of employers plan to reduce staff due to rising costs. Companies like Unga Group, Sameer Africa, Crown Paints, and WPP Scangroup are issuing profit warnings. On a positive note, Sky Garden received fresh investment, while the High Court temporarily suspended the Housing Levy and social health insurance Acts.

Governments worldwide can profit from enterprises like hotels and banks without selling them. Leasing KICC space to private enterprises is an option, but ownership should remain public. Hiring competent and incorruptible managers is crucial for success. Privatization doesn't guarantee profitability; it has led to bankruptcy in Kenya. Mismanagement affects both public and private companies. It's important to consider the impact of privatization before making decisions.

@MigunaMiguna - Dr. Miguna Miguna

This is illiterate. Governments all over the world run PROFITABLE hotels, banks and other enterprises. Nothing stops the Government from leasing KICC space to private enterprises at a profit. However, OWNERSHIP must remain public. You don’t have to sell parastatals to make them profitable. You have to hire competent and incorruptible MANAGERS to run them. The GoK sold KQ, Uchumi, KBS, etc. to oligarchs for a song, then continued to plunder them to bankruptcy. Privatization doesn’t necessarily result in profitability of enterprises. In Kenya, it results in bankruptcy. Many private companies have collapsed due to mismanagement, too. It’s financially illiterate to argue that privatization makes anything profitable. Show us one profitable public enterprise you have privatized. Just one!

Kenyans complaining about sale of KICC are ignorant - Ichung'wah https://t.co/jTBbbIwlqX

Video Transcript AI Summary
There is a lot of talk in the media about government selling off assets, but people are not considering the privatization act passed a few months ago. The act allows the government to divest from investments through methods like initial public offerings, joint ventures, or outright sales. For example, the Kenya International Convention Centre (KICC) could be leased to a hotel chain, generating more revenue than the current government use. The negative propaganda surrounding privatization is unfounded, as the government aims to divest and lease assets rather than sell them off completely. This will allow Kenyans to benefit from the value derived from these assets.

Speaker 0: I've seen in the media a lot of talk. And you know the other honorable speaker when I said, when I spoke about somebody being financially illiterate in some vernacular station, they took offence. But when you're financially illiterate, you are. And I said I'm also illiterate in some aspects. For instance, I am broadcast illiterate. So I will not seek to broadcast anything in a studio because I don't know how to do it. But I am very financially literate. Honorable speaker, I have heard many people speak how government is selling off assets. Honorable speaker, ignorantly people are not looking at the privatization act which we passed here as a privatization bill only I think about 3 or 4 months ago. And that privatization act now makes it very clear. How government will divest from investments it had made in the past. Whether it is through initial public offering, whether it is through the identification and getting into joint ventures with, a strategic investors. Whether it is, through what would be an outright sale of some assets. Honorable speaker. And there's a lot of propaganda out there. I have heard them saying, oh KICC is being sold. Honourable speaker, KICC today, 90% of the tendency at KICC, I think it's parliament. Paying peanuts. Because it's a government to government. But this is a prime location in our CBD. A prime location honorable speaker if KICC was, for instance, to be leased to a hotel chain, a chain of hotels that can run those who have the expertise and the private sector expertise to run conferencing facilities and hotels. Convert the whole building into a hotel for instance. You can imagine the amount of money government would be able to generate rather than wait for myself and yourself honorable speaker to get small corner offices there and parliament pays peanuts. All government ministries who never pay because it's government to government. KICC Mzatein owes other government agencies money. They owe parking fees. I've seen city council of Nairobi claiming parking fees from them. Kenya power. Honourable speaker. Therefore the the all the negative propaganda that is being propagated in line with what we have done here with the privatization act honorable speaker. We are now in the midst of the situation. And we are now in the midst of the situation. The country. And we are very proud of the country. And we are very proud of the country. And we are very proud of the country. How you will divest? Whether it's through initial public offering. Like was done with Safaricom or Kenji. An honorable speaker in in the years gone. Or whether it is through the input of a a strategic investor or whether it is leasing like we said with the sugar companies. The in Western Kenya and parts of Nyanza. And also honorable speaker that you will lease. You will not sell off those assets honorable speaker. So that Kenyans are able to derive value. What is that about? Out of out of their. Speaker.

The speaker discusses how the police manipulate the media to portray the majority of the black community as criminals. This perception allows the police to justify their actions of stopping, questioning, and even harming innocent black individuals. The speaker emphasizes that the white public's belief in this criminal stereotype enables the police to act with impunity, leading to the creation of a police state in black neighborhoods. The speaker questions the logic of having more police presence in these neighborhoods if they still have higher crime rates. This suggests that the police may have ulterior motives.

Speaker 0: The police are able to use the press to make the white public think that 90% or 99 percent of the Negroes in the Negro community are criminals.

Percent, once the police have convinced the white public that the so called Negro community is a criminal element, they can go in and question, brutalize, murder, percent unarmed, innocent Negroes in the white public is gullible enough to back them up.

The destructive idea that governments can act like monsters after a tragedy is prevalent. This applies to the US after 9/11 and now to Israel. The belief that a nation can engage in genocide as a response is absurd. Normal people are not exempt from consequences, but governments are. Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza has caused more deaths than the initial attack, with no opposition. The Western public is also swayed by propaganda. We must reject this and seek rational solutions through negotiations, diplomacy, and acknowledging the root causes. Peace is difficult but crucial.

@caitoz - Caitlin Johnstone

One of the most destructive ideas in modern times is this notion that it’s fine and appropriate for governments to act like monsters whenever anything bad happens to their country. We saw it happen with the United States after 9/11, and we’re seeing it now with Israel. Dropping military explosives on children is just as wrong now as it was on October 6th. Wars of aggression were just as wrong on September 12th 2001 as they were on September 10th. But there’s this idiotic belief in mainstream culture that a nation experiencing a traumatic event means it gets to go on a murderous rampage until it feels better. As soon as the Hamas attack occurred we were inundated with messaging from the western political/media class which conveyed the idea that because something bad happened to Israel, Israel now gets to do a little genocide, as a treat. This is stupid nonsense, and should be rejected by all thinking people. No other aspect of human life works like this. A normal guy isn’t permitted to go on a shooting spree at his wife’s workplace just because she cheated on him with Kyle from marketing. He’s not even allowed to be mean to customers at work or he’ll get fired. The rules don’t stop applying to normal people just because something bad happened to them; only when we’re thinking about the giant power conglomerates known as governments is this sloppy thinking ever taken seriously. In fact, in other aspects of life we understand that after a traumatic event it’s actually important to protect our friends and loved ones from making bad decisions in the emotional heat of the moment. You wouldn’t let your sister get an ugly face tattoo after a nasty breakup. If you saw your friend stumbling around with his car keys in one hand and a bottle in the other after losing his job, you wouldn’t tell him you stand with him and support whatever it is he’s getting ready to do. You’d understand that people can make unwise decisions after something bad happens to them, and you’d do what you can to help steer them away from it. But when we extend our thinking out to the world’s deadliest military forces — precisely the things toward which we should be most careful about bad decision-making — all that goes out the window. All of a sudden “You’re either with us or against us” is framed as a perfectly sound and reasonable position to have on issues like multiple full-scale ground invasions, and if you don’t “Stand with Israel” while it bombs Gaza, Lebanon and Syria that means you’re an evil terrorist supporter who probably hates Jews. The death toll from Israel’s bombing campaign in Gaza has already more than doubled the death toll from the Hamas attack, and we can expect it to keep multiplying because there’s no meaningful opposition to the bloodshed. The United States, who as an indispensable backer of Israel could end all this with a word, has refused to draw a single red line on what Israel may or may not do if it wishes to retain US support — even its indiscriminate use of white phosphorus, which violates international humanitarian law. War crimes are being committed not just openly but announced in advance as Tel Aviv commits itself to the collective punishment of Palestinians with a complete siege of Gaza, and Israel’s allies have no objection to this. And it’s pretty bad in the general western public as well. Because of the frenetic propaganda campaign by the western press in the wake of the Hamas attack, a new CNN poll finds that half of Americans have been successfully convinced that because something bad happened to Israel, Israel is “fully justified” in raining hellfire on a giant concentration camp in which half the population are children. The moments after a scary and traumatizing event are the very moments we should be most vigilant against abuses by the nation affected by it. Instead we’re doing the exact opposite as a society and silently agreeing that certain nations get a hall pass on war crimes and mass murder whenever something bad happens to them. At the exact time when the light of wisdom needs to be shining at its very brightest, we’re allowing it to be flushed down the toilet. And now as anti-war voices like Trita Parsi, Branko Marcetic and Connor Echols have noted, we’re looking at a conflict that could easily escalate and expand to include other nations in the middle east and the US alliance. All because the world decided that we are now on a temporary holiday away from reason and compassion. This needs to stop. We need to be thinking rationally not just about the current violence but the factors which gave rise to it. That means taking a full accounting of the apartheid abuses which gave rise to Hamas and the Palestinian resistance, ending those abuses and righting the wrongs. It means negotiations. It means diplomacy. It means reparations. It means making concessions. It means sitting down and talking. It means acknowledging the problem so that it can be fixed. And all of this can be avoided for as long as Israel and its allies want to strut about huffing about how they have special license to kill Palestinians now because blah blah victim story. At this point in history, just as after 9/11, war looks so very, very easy and peace looks so very, very difficult. But it’s at these exact moments that we need to be pushing hardest for peace, because this is when it actually matters. This is where the rubber meets the road, folks. This is where the real work of creating a healthy world takes place.

Kelvin Kiptum broke the world record at the Chicago Marathon, running an average pace of 4:36 per mile. The debate revolves around the impact of "super shoes" on marathon times. These shoes, with thick soles and rigid plates, enhance performance. Nike's Vaporfly 4% started the trend, and now all major brands offer similar shoes. Studies show that runners using super shoes improve their running economy by 4% and run 4-5% faster. While some argue it's unfair, these shoes are legal under World Athletics' regulations. Technological advancements have always pushed sports performance, and now anyone can access these shoes for a price.

@JoePompliano - Joe Pompliano

Kelvin Kiptum set a new world record last weekend with a time of 2:00:35 at the Chicago Marathon. It was just his third marathon ever — and he ran an average pace of 4:36 per mile...for 26.2 miles. But his shoes have become a topic of debate. Here's what you need to know Many academic papers have been written on the increased performance of marathon runners over the last decade. But the easiest way to explain the situation is that new “super shoe” technology emerged in 2016, and marathon times have vastly improved. It started with Nike’s $250 Vaporfly 4% running shoe — but virtually all super shoes contain two elements: 1) Thick soles made with superlight, energy-returning foam, and 2) rigid plates, often made of carbon fiber, that create a springlike effect for runners. These shoes helped Eliud Kipchoge obliterate the men’s marathon world record time by more than 1 minute in 2018 with a 2:01:39 finish in Berlin. Kipchoge even became the first person in history to finish a marathon in less than two hours when he completed the INEOS 1:59 challenge in Vienna in 2019. However, Kipchoge’s sub-2 hour time didn’t officially count because he used a rotating cast of 7 pacemakers in a V formation to shield him from the wind. Eluid Kipchoge isn’t the only one to benefit from super shoes. All of Nike’s competitors — Adidas, Brooks, Saucony, New Balance, Hoka, and Asics — now sell super shoes. More than half of all sub-3 hour marathons are now completed by runners using some brand of super shoes, and Tigst Assesfa from Ethiopia recently shattered the women’s world marathon record by more than 2 minutes at the 2023 Berlin Marathon with a time of 2:11:53 wearing a pair of Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1. For context, the Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1 shoes by Adidas weigh just 138 grams (60% of the weight in Adidas’ prior top running shoes) but cost $500 and are designed to be worn just once by professional runners. Aka, they are for the top 1% of runners. And it’s not like this is all some superstition by runners — the data backs it up. A 2017 Nike study found that running economy (the amount of oxygen needed to run a specified distance) increased by 4% when examining 18 runners using super shoes. A 2019 New York Times study found runners wearing Nike’s super shoes ran 4% to 5% faster than runners who wore average running shoes and 2% to 3% faster than runners who wore the next fastest popular shoe. And last but not least, each of the Top 10 all-time marathon records kept by World Athletics have happened between 2018 and 2023 during the super shoe craze. But just because marathon times are improving doesn’t mean the shoes are illegal. In fact, World Athletics (the sports governing body for track and field) released new “Athletic Shoe Regulations” in December 2021. These regulations included several stipulations for approving shoes, and they grandfathered in Nike’s line of super shoes. • Shoes must have no sole thicker than 40mm • Shoes must have no more than one rigid structure (e.g. a carbon fiber plate) • Shoes must be available for purchase by consumers for at least 1 month • Shoes can have a different timeframe for purchase outside of the Athletic Shoe Regulations 1-month sale period or for developmental use with prior approval So while many people claim runners are receiving an unfair advantage, this is really just par for the course. None of the shoes used to break records have been deemed illegal by World Athletics’ Shoe Regulations, and training and technology have increased human performance across every sport for decades. That’s why it’s hard to compare different eras — like Mickey Mantle vs. Mike Trout, Larry Bird vs. LeBron James, or Mark Spitz vs. Michael Phelps. Training methods have improved, and recovery techniques have gotten more advanced. This is ultimately good for sports, as it allows all athletes to make progress and creates a new performance standard for each generation to build upon. Super shoes started as a cutting-edge technology that was only available to 1% of the world’s best runners. But now these shoes are being made by several different companies, and virtually anyone can get them — as long as you have $200+ to spare! This technological progress has continued to push the pace of innovation. So while a sub-2-hour marathon was once believed to be impossible, it feels increasingly likely that 23-year-old Kelvin Kiptum will accomplish it in the near future. ** This breakdown is an excerpt from my 3x weekly podcast (top 50 in sports).

Meat & eggs don't cause diseases. Skipping breakfast is an underrated fitness hack. "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is rubbish. Fatty liver fat doesn't come from diet fat, but from liver processing sugar. Gout isn't caused by red meat, fructose is the main culprit. #HealthFacts

1. Meat and eggs don’t cause any diseases. 2. Skipping breakfast is an underrated fitness hack. 3. “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day” is pure rubb!sh. 4. Fat in a fatty liver does not come from fat in the diet. It's made by the liver from the sugar you eat (mainly fructose). 5. Gout is not caused by red meat. Fructose is the major culprit in gout.

Fenbendazole, an inexpensive and safe drug, has shown promising anticancer effects. Despite not being FDA-approved for human use, it has been extensively studied in vitro and in vivo. With at least 12 proven mechanisms of action, including disrupting microtubule polymerization and inhibiting glucose utilization, Fenbendazole holds potential in treating aggressive cancers. It has demonstrated activity against various cancers, including breast, lymphomas, leukemias, glioblastomas, lung, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Urgent clinical trials are needed, especially for COVID19 mRNA Vaccine Turbo Cancer patients. Fenbendazole's safety profile and ongoing trials with its relative, Mebendazole, further support its potential as an effective anticancer agent.

@MakisMD - William Makis MD

NEW ARTICLE: FENBENDAZOLE and CANCER - at least 12 Anti-Cancer mechanisms of action. Not approved by FDA. Cheap. Safe. Kills aggressive cancers. Why no Clinical Trials? I review 9 research papers proving anti-cancer effects of Fenbendazole. Benzimidazole drugs (including Fenbendazole) have widely been used as anti-helminth agents in both human and/or livestock since the 1960s Due to their low cost and high efficacy, benzimidazole anthelmintics have been used throughout the world Ivermectin is FDA approved. Fenbendazole is NOT approved for human use by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA). A close relative of Fenbendazole called Mebendazole is approved by FDA and has several Clinical Trials for Cancer Treatments in Brain cancer and Colon cancer. It's way more expensive! Why no Clinical Trials currently for Fenbendazole? It's cheap! No one will get rich off Fenbendazole. Fenbendazole has at least 12 proven anti-cancer mechanisms in vitro and in vivo: disrupts microtubule polymerization (major mechanism) blocks glucose transport and impairs glucose utilization by cancer cells (major) increases p53 tumor suppressor levels! (major) inhibits cancer cell viability, migration, invasion What about COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Induced Turbo Cancers? Fenbendazole shows in vitro and/or in vivo activity against these cancers: breast cancer (including triple negative breast cancer - which is seen in COVID-19 mRNA Vaccinated individuals with Turbo Cancer) lymphomas (these are the most common COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Turbo Cancers and there is more evidence for Fenbendazole treating Lymphomas than with Ivermectin) leukemias (most aggressive COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Turbo Cancers - patients have no good treatment options) glioblastomas and gliomas (extremely aggressive COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Turbo Cancers with poor prognosis - patients have no good treatment options) lung cancer (NSCLC) (strong signal for COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Turbo Cancers) hepatocellular carcinoma (signal for COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Turbo Cancers and all hepatobiliary cancers including Gallbladder and pancreas) rhabdomyosarcomas (possible signal for COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Turbo Cancers, sarcomas in general are on the rise after mRNA vaccination and they are extremely aggressive) ovarian cancers Although the anti-parasitic Fenbendazole is not FDA approved for human use, there is extensive evidence of anti-cancer effects in the published literature, both in vitro and in vivo This is NOT a controversial medication, as it has been made out to be! Don't let the smears mislead you. This is a serious anti-cancer agent! Fenbendazole has an excellent safety profile and its close relative, Mebendazole is FDA approved, and it’s undergoing several Clinical Trials for Cancer Treatments in the US right now, including colon cancers and brain cancers. I believe that it is a reasonable hypothesis that COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Turbo Cancer patients could benefit significantly from either Mebendazole or Fenbendazole and I would love to see urgent clinical trials with both. Fenbendazole had Clinical Trials in the past - again, not a controversial medication.

Hi, I'm Charlotte Kivett, a 23-year-old first-time voter. Here are my recommendations for the president. Firstly, focus on delivering affordable healthcare, education, and food for the table, as promised in your manifesto. Canadians want to see these basic needs fulfilled. Secondly, consider reducing taxes, as they are burdening the young population and hindering economic growth, especially during the recovery from COVID-19. Lastly, be mindful of your words and promises, as people will hold you accountable for what you say. It's important to follow through on your commitments.

But before you utter anything or before you say something, make sure that you know what? Canadians are the most They will pull out things from the archives and be like, mister president, you say this 10 months ago. Nothing has come into fruition. Number 2, taxes. Yeah. For the people who are young who, all of the above. These taxes, I I I believe it says taxes are too many and too fast. Okay.
