Circular Economy

Communities Already Have the Ideas. They Just Need the Right Partners.

Inside Kisauni, more than 30 grassroots organisations are building a circular economy from waste, water and fish — one partnership at a time. By Ronny Choge At the coast, the biggest ideas rarely come from boardrooms. They come from the ground — from people who live with a problem long enough to understand exactly how to solve it. That was the lesson our directors carried home last weekend after attending […]

Album Overview: The Art of Gengetone by Joefes

Written by Edwin Agesa on Tuesday, 9 December 2025. Three weeks since its release, The Art of Gengetone by Joefes continues to ripple across the Kenyan music scene, an ambitious 22-track statement from one of Gengetone's most consistent contributors. Working under Black Market Records and still an active member of the celebrated trio Mbuzi Gang, Joefes uses this album not just as a showcase of sound, but as a declaration: Gengetone is […]

Why Many Kenyans Aren’t Seeing Kenyan Music in Their Spotify Wrapped, And Why the Conversation Is Bigger Than Screenshots

Written by Edwin Agesa on Monday, 8 December 2025. Every year, Spotify Wrapped arrives like a cultural holiday, screenshots everywhere, heated debates, and that one friend who insists their music taste is superior. But this year in Kenya, the conversation has taken a different turn. As timelines fill with people's top artists and top songs, many Kenyans have noticed a glaring absence: very few Kenyan musicians are showing up on these […]

Ruto-Era Green Light: Ritz-Carlton Maasai Mara Safari Camp Sparks Conservation Storm

Monday, December 8, 2025 The recent approval, believed to be issued under the directive of William Ruto, allowing the Ritz-Carlton to erect structures inside what many consider a migration corridor in the Maasai Mara National Reserve has renewed a fierce debate in Kenya. Proponents hail the move as a boost to high-end tourism; critics warn it threatens one of the world’s most iconic wildlife spectacles, the annual wildebeest migration between the […]

Kenya’s Political Recycling Problem: Why the Same Faces Can’t Deliver a Different Future

By Ronny Choge Kenya's political dysfunction isn't the product of any single bad leader. It's structural. The same small circle of political figures has dominated the national stage for decades, and that continuity — not any one administration — is what keeps producing the same toxic patterns election after election. Look at the current field of heavyweights: William Ruto, Kalonzo Musyoka, Musalia Mudavadi, Martha Karua, Rigathi Gachagua, Charity Ngilu, along […]

The XYZ Show Changed Kenya. It Was Never Built to Make Money.

By Ronny Choge Do you remember the XYZ Show? The one that premiered on Kenyan TV screens and served us political satire in concentrated humor, week after week? For those who lived through it, the latex puppets and their razor-sharp send-ups of the political class weren't just entertainment — they were a cultural fixture, arriving well ahead of their time. So when the show quietly went out of production, it […]

Crowds Don’t Vote: The Numbers Behind Sifuna’s Presidential Risk

By Ronny Choge There's no denying it — Edwin Sifuna draws a crowd. From Taita Taveta to Trans Nzoia, the Linda Mwananchi caravan has turned quiet market towns into rally grounds, and the man once known mainly as ODM's sharpest television voice is now being spoken of as a possible flagbearer, a possible running mate, a possible kingmaker — depending on which room you're standing in. Luhya elders have symbolically […]
