Some quick learnings: -@idringp is very popular in Nairobi. -When you listen to Kenyan cab drivers talk about their social and political problems, you might be forgiven for thinking you’re in Uganda. -The future belongs to the young, who, it sounds like, have been robbed of the much needed preparation the current older rulers had. They’re passionate, have agency but very limited knowledge. -There’s lots of faith that the young will correct things but also genuine fear that they might just tank the whole thing due to lack of knowledge and mentorship. Here’s part X of my conversation with Julius. It opens with him telling me about their recent rugby win over Uganda and the reason that @idringp gave for that loss.
