In the course of living my life, I am usually preoccupied with key life questions that guide my thinking, work and impact. This one is a #Thread listing the issues/ questions that I am considering. I share them in no particular order.
1. I am pondering what it would take for government to be truly controlled by the people and how governance can be less elitist. Most people in the world do not have a clue of how and why decisions that impact them are made by politicians (who often have very low expertise)
2. I am specifically wondering about information and data usage and how it can be better (and more) used by people - you and I - to specifically guide our personal actions, plans and how we demand for our rights.
3. I'm recently learning (more clearly) that there are many Africans that aren't registered (no ID) & therefore aren't counted in any way for service provision (including education & health). I am thinking about ways that we could do better to count & include them. #Stateless
4. Related to (3) above, I am thinking about what it would take to have 100% functional #literacy (meaning LITERALLY EVERYONE can read, write, count, manage money, plan families & resources, and grow skills).
5. I have a specific gripe against the Advocates Remuneration Order (tinyurl.com/4cj86e6n), which I think prices legal services outside the scope of 99% of Kenyans and maintains a colonial view of how the law (and therefore justice) should be accessed. Look at the minimums (!)
I have said more about my thoughts around the payment of lawyers here: alkags.me/thoughts/
