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,...

Here is something about the 100M stimulus package for artistes;

Why The Package?

Covid-19 pandemic has exposed all of us to economic hardships affecting provision of basic needs. It has also had psychological effects especially with the lockdowns and curfew.
Kenya had over 100,000 artists and therefore there had to be an effective model of using the funds. With this scenario the ministry adopted Work For Pay model.
This means the amount will be used to motivate artists to produce content aimed at promoting Covid-19 Creative Community Education. That way the amount will be paid against the content created and published.
