Nandi’s, Tugens, and Kalenjins are a blessed group of people who survive at high altitude geographical regions devoid of enough oxygen. This implies their incredible performance in long-distance runs in athletics. The altitude has however taken a toll on their thinking capacity and negatively impacted their decision-making.

The Rift almost voted 99.9% pro William Ruto was a presidential candidate against R.t Hon. Raila Odinga and others. The votes cast exemplified their expectations for priority whenever ‘their’ government takes over.

However, this has not been the case as most of the ceremonies and political visits to the region have been ‘Thanksgiving Ceremonies’ for their votes to the political elite from the region the recent being attended by Rigathi Gachagua as the Chief Guest hosted by Eli Rop.

In a twist of events, citizenry from the region noted that ‘their’ president was in Nyanza region launching an endless chain of economic development projects in a political region deemed an opposition stronghold.

This has not resonated well with the Nandi people and most of those who voted for William Ruto expect to be awarded priority for development.

Facebook posts and comments seen by the author imply rage and disappointment for the president calling him out for neglecting the region even when his earlier boss H.E Uhuru Kenyatta similarly did nothing for the region.

Note should be taken that the current president was busy cutting deals and amassing wealth when he was the DP and care less for his region's development status.

Rift Valley residents have also identified how some of the grassroots leaders they voted for have little might to show in parliament buildings. One of them pointed out is a renowned staunch supporter of the president who has a constant itchiness to make any kind of sound to please the president.

Ironically, one of the users and members in the Facebook group pointed out that she doesn’t identify with any of the current leaders because they were installed by UDA party leadership into governance.

Avant-Garde Monetary Theories Too Good To Be True.

The Australian government is planning to spend AUD 190 billion (USD 132 billion) to support the economy in response to COVID-19, according to the latest Parliamentary Budget Office estimate. The total impact of COVID-19 on the government’s net debt, including both revenue impacts (down, because of less activity) and spending impacts (up because of spending to support the economy) amounts to between 11% and 18% of gross domestic product, or AUD 500 billion to AUD 620 billion. The estimates are based on the three possible scenarios developed by the Reserve Bank: “downside”, “baseline” and “upside”. Each differ in their assumed timing of the relaxation of social distancing and other restrictions, and for how long uncertainty and diminished confidence weigh on households and business activity. With similar blow-outs around the world, a view gaining ascendancy, including amongst commentators such as Alan Kohler, is that government debt doesn’t matter – provided the government owes the money

GOOD NEWS: BTC coming to Visa.

                                               credits: alphacard.me Payments giant VISA could soon add Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to its expansive payments network, CEO Alfred Kelly said during an online appearance last week. However, despite the words, Kelly is not entirely convinced of the broader use case of cryptocurrencies so far. The payments veteran said that while Bitcoin was among the most widely used and known cryptocurrencies, its function was more like “digital gold” and that it was “not used as a form of payment in a significant way at this point.” Cryptocurrency services are, so far, allowed only for exchanges and wallet providers who receive fiat from a customer and exchange it to crypto on their end. This means that whenever a customer uses a “crypto card” at a retail merchant, the  actual  crypto itself does not interact with the VISA network. Instead, the exchange sells an equivalent amount of crypto, and VISA processes the payment in fiat. But Kelly says tha

NO RESOLUTION YET? ,YOU NEED TO INVEST IN CRYPTOCURRENCY!

               There has been quite misconstrued versions of stories surrounding cryptocurrency investments, and especially the most renowned one- Bitcoin (BTC). While it is agreeable that hoaxes and scamming has been rampant in the recent past over what con men term to be "bitcoin investment", finding a real and verified cryptocurrency trading platform will ease the hustle of you being a target to cons.            I was introduced to cryptocurrency by a roommate from my days in Campus. I was suspicious of the idea and I therefore "blew" a whooping Kshs. 100 to purchase my first bundle of bitcoins. That was about six years ago. I forgot about the a hundred shillings as they wouldn't be sold at a value worthy enough to satisfy my needs. September 2020, I was fixated! The idea of my crypto-trading account crossed my mind, however I grew numb because I had forgotten the password and had also lost the paper code to help with my login. I therefore requested a passwor
