To fight covid-19 requires all us take part with intentional actions.

1. Keep social distance, sanitize and check on your neighbor. He or she may be sleeping hungry.
#QuaroSiPano
2.The government should have a transparent way of handling the covid-19 kitty which some leaders are using as a cash cow. Let the monies be used for the right purpose and those looting be held accountable. #QuaroSiPano
3. The police should be informed it’s not time to harass the citizens and harvesting bribes. It’s time to work together with citizens to fight a common enemy. #QuaroSiPano
4. Landlords, should be human enough to look at the times and give a percentage off rent or do away with it during the quarantine period. Some have done that and gone ahead to even feed tenants.
#QuaroSiPano
5. The media, I think we need to stop over-reporting covid-19. It’s not healthy psychologically and there should be more different stories to give people hope. That can be through entertainment as well. #QuaroSiPano

Energy And Industrial Growth (Thread)
Cc:@KAM_Kenya
Energy Efficiency might sound like ' Board Room speak' to many, but what is it really? It can be an action as simple as you switching off the lights when you leave a room and opting to use natural light during the day.
It can also be as broad as a company finding ways to re-use its energy resources during its operations to eliminate energy waste. Looked at simply, energy efficiency and conservation means fostering the use of less energy to produce goods and services without...
compromising on quality and quantity. Specifically, energy efficiency refers to the use of less energy to perform a given task whilst attaining the same level of output, for instance, replacing 'normal’ bulbs with ‘energy savers’.

Leveraging on Youthful Innovations to Promote Circular Economy

Thread...

Across the world, youth innovations are driving significant change. In our country, inventions by young people have positioned us conspicuously on the global map.
#Strides2Sustainability
Roy Allela, 25 invented a Smart Hand Glove that converts sign language into audio speech. The invention that has won him international accolades, was developed on the basis of reducing the stigma associated with being deaf. Another brilliant innovation was by Kelvin Gacheru.
He developed Mobi -Water, a smart solar-powered water system, which seeks to improve monitoring consistency in water supply and assist to curb Kenya’s prevailing water shortage crisis. Is it possible to apply these youthful innovations to waste management? #strides2sustainability

Former KTDA Worker Raphael Mworia Speaks

Thread...
I worked for 12yrs in @KTDATea between 1995 and 2007. I joined when KTDA was a parastatal under the Min. Of Agriculture.
Come the year 2000, KTDA was privatised. This was after concerted effort by farmer representatives.
A background of this privatisation is necessary because it informs a lot on the current raucous engagement playing out in the public space.
KTDA was set up in 1964, by taking over the functions of Special Crops Development Authority (SCDA)...
which had been set up before independence to encourage cash crop farming amongst African farmers after political independence seemed inevitable. When the uptake of the envisaged cash crops failed or was slow, tea growing was spreading so fast,...
