No Opportunities? Or just lazy, entitled Youth...

Yesterday, I rode a bicycle for over 25 kilometers . Not on some fancy cycling trail or in a city marathon, but through the rugged countryside, under a sky that seemed determined to drown me. The heavens opened wide, the rain poured, and within minutes, I was soaked to the bone. Mud splashed with every turn of the wheel, my legs burned, and every car that passed left me looking more like a stray dog than a man with purpose. Why endure all this? Because I was headed to meet a group of talented young people —people I have worked with for months, helping them shape ideas around technology and the lot into real enterprises. It was their meeting. They set it up. They picked the time. They picked the place. I showed up, dripping wet, hungry, exhausted… and alone (mostly). No calls. No messages. No apologies. Just silence. And yet, when the dust—or rather mud—settles, these are the same young people who will look at society and claim, “There are no opportunities for us.” The Myth of Limit...

Revolutions have occurred in this country, but none reached the level that Gen Z has driven us to. Or is it just momentary excitement?

What will you intentionally bring as suggestions, only to be heard and ignored in the dialogue forums? While this uproar has shaken power to its core, those who wield it are exploring all possibilities to retain it. They will lure the most vicious protesters into unsaid traps. They will create spaces for the most popular on digital platforms. Slowly but surely, they will brand ...

Gregory Kamadi; Techstyles Solutions Kenya

There are stories that arrive with noise, grand launches, public applause, dramatic announcements and then there are stories that rise almost unnoticed, slowly gathering weight until one day you realize something substantial has been built. Gregory Kamadi ’s journey belongs firmly to the second category. It is not the kind of story that begins in boardrooms or city skyscrapers. It begins in Vihiga County, a small village in Mungoma location called Madzuu, far from the perceived centers of opportunity, in the quiet spaces where ambition often has to survive without an audience. Growing up in Vihiga meant growing up with a front-row seat to limitation. Technology was not something casually woven into everyday life, and access to the latest gadgets or digital tools felt more like a distant privilege than an ordinary expectation. Yet what could have easily bred resignation instead produced observation. Gregory developed an unusual habit early on: he noticed what was missing. He noticed how...
