My most unwavering professional commitment is to never let McKinsey touch anything I have the capacity to influence in Africa 😂

It breaks my heart how much damage & delayed progress McKinsey's work has caused for Africa's #Energy sector 💔 In South Africa, after overcharging Eskom for 'useless expertise' that left SA's power sector in a mess, they said "sorry"

Well in! LOVE the focus on regularising the informal sector.

This is what Uhuru missed on with his elitist projects 😭

There's something folks are missing in Kasarani ongoings.

The kind of (almost unimpeachable) persona Uhuru has cultivated across the continent (EAC and AU).

Did you see who Uhuru greeted first?
Did you see how cordial it was?

That's H.E Moussa Faki Mahamat. The AU chair. Like I said yesterday, this will be William Ruto's most challenging task.

Someone tell him that for a small fee I can help him unseat Jayden as an African Statesman😂.
Bei ya jioni.

💔Africa has a MAJOR Cabro / impervious paving problem and it is causing all sorts of #ClimateAdaptation, #WaterPollution, #WaterScarcity, #UrbanFlooding and #drainage problems.

The 'Nouvea Riche' and contractors in Kenya, Nigeria and Ghana are especially notorious for this! Someone, somewhere lied to us that never seeing soil is the ultimate sophistication.

Now everyone has covered everything in hideous cabro and plastic turf 😭

Impervious surfaces like Cabro do not allow water to seep into the ground.

And that causes SEVERAL issues:

All this #Mitumba talk reminded me of when I tried a Mitumba supplier business 😂😂😂

I used to spend weeks freezing in Birmingham negotiating bales from Polish, Italian and Pakistani traders😆

A thread on why we need to REDUCE Mitumba imports. And to boost local industry 🧵 So anyway, here's what I learned after spending time in the UK’s Used Clothes supply chain as an aspiring Auntie wa Harrier. 😆
Without the courage to brave #Gikomba.

And as a fashion/textiles sector policy wonk working the ESG/Sustainability/Climate Change nexus.
