Drought is a natural disaster

rvp2018:
Yes - KNUT needed to be de-horned - but it always good to have a divergent opinion - obviously in Prof Magoha he will meet his match. Yes without any natural resources on sight - and with barely, any arable land left - our only national hope is smart well-educated workforce. We already invest a lot education wise....and we just have to keep going.

Bro,have you actually seen that black mofo on TV!? As far back as 2013 he was striking and inciting teachers!

I challenge you to find a vid without him instigating some ishyt politically or with teachers. If we don't stop him he'll sabotage the education system like happened in RSA where despite huge allocations outcomes are abysmal.

So it seems budget is not the problem so much as the poor and wasteful nature of our spending. Add to this situation, a weak and unaccountable teaching force. SA’s teachers rank poorly (see page 29 of link) in comparison with peer countries, and score even lower than teachers from some poorer African countries. Rates of absenteeism are high, with teachers in rural areas and townships spending an average of 3.5 hours a day in class, compared to the 6.5 hours spent by teachers in former Model C schools.

Naijjans why are you closing your consulates?

The Federal Government of Nigeria, has ordered the closure of four foreign missions due to lack of funds. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffery Onyeama, disclosed this today May 21st.

According to Onyeama, the closed missions are in Sri-lanka, Serbia, Ukraine and Czech Republic.

He said that the closure was because the government could not fund the missions anymore.

Before the closure Nigeria had 119 foreign missions.

Shouldn't the Giant increase its foreign presence?

Kenya has been ranked as the best African country that offers good digital life in the latest Expat Insider report released by the InterNations.

The survey ranked Kenya 31st in the world ahead of South Africa (49), Morocco (58), Uganda (59) and Egypt (69).

In the report, Kenya appears to offer good digital life as nine in 10 expats in the country (89 percent) are happy with their unrestricted access to online services, which is nine percentage points above the global average 80 percent.



"Making cashless payments in Kenya also seems to be very easy (94 percent positive ratings verses 78 percent globally)," read part of the report released today.

The report also ranks Kenya fifth in the world for the ease of getting a local mobile phone number, behind Myanmar, New Zealand, Israel, and Estonia.

DIGITAL LIFE

In South Africa, the survey ranks the country among the bottom 10 countries worldwide in terms of ease of getting a local mobile phone number (59), with 12 percent of expats saying it is difficult.

The report further reveals that the country does not fare much better when it comes to the availability of government or administration services online, ranking (58) out of 68 countries worldwide.

Uganda ranks among the worst countries in the world for digital life. According to the report, Uganda receives its lowest ratings for getting access to high-speed internet at home (65th out of 68 countries) and paying without cash (61st).

PAYING CASH

The report further states that close to two in five expats in the country 39 percent are unsatisfied with the first factor versus 16 percent globally, while a third 33 percent rate cashless payment opportunities negatively versus 13 percent globally.

"Twelve percent even say it is very difficult to pay without cash in Uganda; only five other countries worldwide have higher percentages in this regard (Germany, Argentina, Egypt, Japan, and Myanmar)," the report indicates.

The Digital Life Abroad Report is an addition to the annually published Expat Insider survey by InterNations.

The topical report is based on the Digital Life subcategory, which was added to the Expat Insider survey for the first time in 2018.

The subcategory is part of the Quality of Life Index, which covers five other subcategories, including Leisure Options, Health & Well-Being, and Travel & Transportation.

Tanzania one million-tonne maize surplus boosts Nairobi supply Tanzanians should keep feeding Kenyans

Surplus stocks in Tanzania have raised maize supply helping cool the rising price of the produce in Kenya.

Tanzania has announced it has more than a million-tonne surplus, which it will sell to the regional states, unlike previously when it imposed an exports ban.
Millers in Mombasa and Nairobi are getting supplies from traders bringing in the commodity.

The maize is landing in Nairobi at Sh3,200 a bag.

“There are good stocks coming in from Tanzania and we are getting some too from Uganda.

“This maize will go a long way in boosting the current limited stocks in the country,” said Gerald Masila, Executive Director of Eastern Africa Grain Council.
Millers are paying Sh3,000 for a 90-kilogramme bag of maize down from Sh3,400 last month, with the prices expected to further drop as farmers release the stocks that they had been hoarding to the market.
Mr Masila said Tanzania is supplying a lot of grain to the region replenishing stocks that would have been depleted by now.
Mexico
However, he warned the importation process should start now given that the grain in the region would not be enough to last beyond July.

“Even with this stocks in the region, imports are inevitable and the process of shipping in the grain has to start on time to avoid last minute rush,” he said.
Kenya is also expected to import maize from Mexico.

The government has indicated it will open the import window in July despite opposition from farmers’ lobby that said imports will hurt farmers.
However, Cereal Growers Association said there is no need for imports because stock available is adequate.

“The government should not allow the importation of grain in the country at a time when the short rains crop will be ready for harvesting in July…this is a move to sabotage farmers,” said Fanuel Kruger, chairperson of the Cereal Millers Growers.

The Agriculture ministry said only registered large-scale millers would be allowed to import maize to cover the deficit.

Importation politics of maize so that few cartels can gain in the expense of farmers.We have enough grains,that's what it is known!

But does he makes decisions - or these are KNUT decisions. The way to deal with unions is through politics. You of course cannot detain people you don't like anymore. That would start a slippery slopes. What will work is when you have politically adept leader who can get into KNUT and cause divisions. Moi did it by sweet talking the KNUT Sec Gen and eventually sponsored the splitting of KNUT into KUPPET (secondary teachers). The solution to KNUT is to further split it - it way too powerful with 200K teachers on it's payroll - and if not it's to engineer division in it' leadership.

Political problems are dealt politically. Kibaki and largely Uhuru disinterest in politics is what causes all these upheavals. Raila or Ruto would easily handle Sossion without the need to throw him in prison.

Ultimately powerful unions as good as they are for workers - soon become a law unto themselves - and cause lots of problem - and gov has to work to avoid fostering these kinds of unions.

Tanzania one million-tonne maize surplus boosts Nairobi supply Tanzanians should keep feeding Kenyans

Surplus stocks in Tanzania have raised maize supply helping cool the rising price of the produce in Kenya.

Tanzania has announced it has more than a million-tonne surplus, which it will sell to the regional states, unlike previously when it imposed an exports ban.
Millers in Mombasa and Nairobi are getting supplies from traders bringing in the commodity.

The maize is landing in Nairobi at Sh3,200 a bag.

“There are good stocks coming in from Tanzania and we are getting some too from Uganda.

“This maize will go a long way in boosting the current limited stocks in the country,” said Gerald Masila, Executive Director of Eastern Africa Grain Council.
Millers are paying Sh3,000 for a 90-kilogramme bag of maize down from Sh3,400 last month, with the prices expected to further drop as farmers release the stocks that they had been hoarding to the market.
Mr Masila said Tanzania is supplying a lot of grain to the region replenishing stocks that would have been depleted by now.
Mexico
However, he warned the importation process should start now given that the grain in the region would not be enough to last beyond July.

“Even with this stocks in the region, imports are inevitable and the process of shipping in the grain has to start on time to avoid last minute rush,” he said.
