MHESHIMIWA

Mheshimiwa,look
Look at them whose loyalty you have flawed
Look at the one with a fang scar
Look at the one drooling blood
Mheshimwa,the mob is thirsty
Thirsty for your blood Mheshimiwa

Do the mob some justice Mheshimiwa
Give them a medicineman
A healer
Lest they perish from the poison of the fang
Lest they pound you to ash
Ash that they will savour
To finish their hunger and anger.

Mheshimiwa Mheshimiwa
Heed to the cries of your people
Give them back their  earth Mheshimiwa
 Lest their tears curse the soil
The same that's fattened your belly
Mheshimiwa, give the people justice!!!

IT IS DONE

I was born in the suburbs of Kisii town in the early 2000s. This was an era when everything urban(ish) was a phenomenon. It was the era when clothes were classified; za nyumbani na za kanisa or safari. 'Za nyumbani' were mostly the ruggish ones, faded out and with no classic looks. The latter however were most obviously the brandy ones your dad or mum occasionally got you when they traveled to Mombasa for some office business. She never let you put them on during the weekdays. She doesn't want you to soil them. She'd let you put them on during family photoshoots on Christmas though. Crazy life that was. Traveling was yet another rare occurrence. Okay, not the usual travel. The kind I was accustomed to in the days was the local commute from home to the market in the evenings to fetch some groceries. I'm not talking about that. Sometimes my dad had to travel to the capital for teacher business. Old man was ever busy in the days. In his heydays, he still is anyway.

POST HIGHSCHOOL

When I was still in highschool, I wanted to be done with that place as fast as I could. Maybe had there been a provision of skipping a form or two, I would not have thought twice about grabbing the damn chance. I wanted to get out of that place which I always considered shitty. I wanted to be done with the strict timelines. I wanted to be free; free from the imposing teachers, the time confines, the boring afternoon classes, the substandard meals...free from everything. I fancied the lifestyles of those who had come before me. The bushy hairs they kept, the long nails; with no police-teacher restricting me to some standards I considered overwhelmingly unnecessary. I wanted to be the village cock who crows with nothing to worry about. Damn right yeah, everybody wanted that. A life with no restrictions. Well, the national exams came. That was my very last hurdle to becoming the free man I had always dreamt of. I didn’t want to fail. No no no...My parents didn’t want me to fail. My pe

RESHAPING THE BLUEPRINT

R edefining engineering involves reimagining the role of engineers as agents of positive change in committment to addressing the complex challenges facing society, technology, and the environment. Ideally, this involves adopting a socio-technical approach to applying engineering solutions which acknowledges the interconnectivity of technological systems and social structures. Engineers should consider not only the technical feasibility of solutions but also their social, economic, and cultural implications. In recent times, we have seen a renewed surge of advocacy for environmental conservation in attempts to manage climate change. As engineers, we play a huge role in shaping this international discourse. Kenya has seen a growing interest in sustainable building practices due to environmental concerns and the need for energy efficiency. Civil engineers can incorporate green building technologies such as passive solar design, rainwater harvesting systems, and renewable energy sources in
