Dear Kenyans, something crazy is happening tomorrow. @NemaKenya will officially be imposing Ksh 150 per item of packaging. This means Kenyan consumers are about to see strange things starting tomorrow and millions of businesses will shut down. Allow me to explain: 🧵🧵 These rules that NEMA has vowed not to go back are under the "Sustainable Waste Management Act" and are set to impact a wide range of products that Kenyans use daily. Low-income households are about to start singing "Kasongo Yeyee"

In most cases, when talking about a toxic work environment, it is always about a TOXIC BOSS, but none talks about toxic employees. I have had the privilege of being in charge of a small company for 10+ years now & I have gathered 10 characteristics of a toxic employee. 1/10 One who incites others not to work! There is always a "low-key" activist among employees, one who is like a big rat that bites, then blows wind so that u don't feel pain. For a small thing, they will incite a whole not to work, but turn up & work so that u hate the others!

I have always gone to various SME forums, and my stand has always been that if you allow your employees to "own" part of your business, you will get more loyalty and more returns. But I always get a lot of objections to this idea. I don't know why. But here is my logic! 1/5 As a business owner (SME), come up with "literal shares", say 20,000. Then create a ratio to share it out with your employees... Give them a literal percentage that each one of them "owns". And tell them that they will be getting the benefits of "ownership" quarterly.

In business, when the gods want to kill u & ur business, they first make you arrogant, careless, & rude. They make you start seeing your own team as a burden, as bloodsucking ticks who shouldn't even exist... Then, there & then, things start falling apart, one after another. The worst part of being a mentor is when u mentor so many people, they set up a similar business as yours, use your knowledge, improve on it, and dislodge you from your position, take over your very clients, to the point that you now see them as vicious rivals than your creation.

Pray that when u make it in life, as a firstborn or whatever, that God also gives u brothers, sisters, parents who will understand. Who will not destroy whatever u spend sleepless nights making so that they live. Who will say, "Our son, brother, sister, is hungry so we can eat!" When a family stays in poverty for long, one one child in the family finally makes it, & he/she tries to get them out of poverty, they may get out physically (nice house, nice beddings, food), but actions, thinking, mentality, might still be that of poverty! Worst scenario.

While growing up, the television 📺 sets were those red boxes that needed a keen eye to exactly see what was going on, especially during a match. It was always in black and white. #FuryVsWilderOnDStv Those days, @KBCChannel1 was the Baba and Mama of content... From vitimbi to operas. But there was Wrestling that almost every family member loved. Those were the days. #FuryVsWilderOnDStv

Thread 👇👇 Image Now, there is a difference between a product/brand being put under ADMINISTRATION and going into RECEIVERSHIP. Many people tend to confuse the two thinking it is one and the same thing. No. It is not. 👇👇 #SokoNews @CytonnInvest

Coming together and putting resources together is not something that started yesterday. Our forefathers used to do it. They could come together and help till the land. #MalipoApp @AppMalipo As the day moved by, currency, in terms of money came in. People could come together to contribute for a hospital bill, school fees for a a bright kid in the village, for a funeral, for a wedding... Etc #MalipoApp
