President Ruto launched a New Mukuru estate as an affordable housing project. As a student of history let me tell you what will happen in a few months or years. And why this affordable housing programme is nowhere close to the Singapore story.

A thread🧵 The story will begin with celebration. Govt leaders will hail it on TV screens as transformative. Beneficiaries move in. Media coverage will be glowing. New Mukuru will become the new poster child for delivering dignity to the Nairobi urban dweller. But that is just the start.

Early in my career I received 3 pieces of advice which I'd love to share

1) If you have an 8-5 job, what you do between 5pm and 8am next morning will make a huge difference. Invest your afterwork time. Early in your career, nothing has higher compound interest than your time 1/N I used my after-work time to pursue professional certifications, wrote articles that got published, and worked extensively on my favorite skill. See you after-work time as an asset. Consider active methods of rest (eg. a hobby, a skill, a sport) as opposed to passive resting. 2/

I would support a plan where Kenya exports 200K skilled workers every yr to Europe, USA, Dubai, & Australia. Kenya has an oversupply of talented and skilled people and the world is willing to pay the price. Labour mobility is a good thing and we cant absorb all our talent locally I actually think very few things have as high developmental impact than having open borders.

Investing is good but if you’re just out of college or university or just started your first job, wacha pressure. Na usikubali kupewa pressure.

In the early years of work, use your small small savings to invest in foundations. Let me explain. 1/N Early in your career/work
1) Invest in your CAPACITY. Pay for that course, pay for that skill, etc. Simply put, ask yourself: How can I increase my earning potential? Wacha pressure ati you have to “invest in assets”. Skills are an asset.

So invest in your capacity. 2/
