I am a fool, but I know that I am a fool, so that makes me smarter than you.

He is right in that Eastleigh was colonially designated in 1921 as a township for Asians, even though the initial occupants (of Nairobi East) before them were, and remained to be, the Somalis (which I presume is what you’re arguing for, meaning you’re both right).

Hey everyone,
Karibuni sana to our Philosophy Discussion this Friday at the Santuri Salon, basement ya The Mall, Westlands, from 5pm - 8pm.
We'll be talking about the ins and outs of electoral politics, the idea of electing 'virtuous' leaders, and holding them accountable.
Mwenje argues that our politics is trapped in a dangerous cycle of "banking on benevolence" i.e hoping that if we just elect the right, virtuous, or empathetic individual, systemic problems will magically vanish. But as he points out, personal integrity and grand campaign promises can never substitute for real accountability.
When evaluating leaders, we shouldn't rely on personalities or blind loyalties; we have to interrogate their actual conduct, records, and governing strategies. Why do we keep buying into the savior narrative when history shows benevolence isn't a policy?

Thanks to everyone who came to our festival last Saturday.
We had fun, and we hope you did too, learning about economics! 😂
