Some of the points, sayings and thoughts selected from Dr. Julius Kipng’etich Director, Kenya Wildlife Service, since December 31, 2004, when he took over a scandal-plagued organisation with a deficit of Ksh 500 million plus.

His major guideline points includes .
Guard your reputation by being a person of integrity;
Network this is a social capital. It is your support system.
Leverage on technology; let it work for you;
Be strategic in your thinking.’ For us to be global and have a competitive advantage, a least 10% of the children who start primary education should reach university.

Finally Kenya has a blue print to be an economic powerhouse. Devolution of infrastructure has the potential of spreading investments to the rural areas beyond Nairobi and other major towns, but prudent management of the funds will ensure that they serve their intended purpose through what? 5 aspects of management
• Planning is essential in management of a country, county and its resources, borrowing the idea of v 2030.the development blue print.
• To achieve what has been planned
• People play a Major role in the actual management process. A people centered development... the right people in the right places to do the right jobs
• Directing is also crucial in management. Looked in three parts leadership [in relation to responsibilities], motivation and communication (the hallmark of any good leader is the ability to communicate with the people).
Our politics is a roll call of tribes: political power is structured around tribal arithmetic- to confront this demon requires a mindset change. This as we all know is never an overnight process

Top nations and corporations are driven by their visions but poor nations have poor visions or no visions and have no idea on how to be great Kenya and African countries have never had a vision to combat poverty among its citizenry. E.g. Singapore has set 2015 as her d-day to become knowledge based economy. India 2020 as a developed nation, Morocco had set 2010 to receive 10 million tourists annually
The lazy communities will be colonized, marginalized and exploited. The working communities will become the economic tigers Farmers are always losers. They are the algae in the food chain. They are the tools and goods of the smart investors! They are the donkeys and the slaves in the economic chain. They are willing to be exploited and milked dry in their ignorance.
Stealing, a tool of wealth creation is retrogressive and totally obsolete in the 21st century. Let’s embrace handwork, diligence and integrity Lets safe at least 40% of their income. If not possible we may have to involve external investors or strategic partners. Time has come to dismantle the worldview of cattle complex and the cattle rustling mentality and embrace global strategies. Our culture to be fashioned to feed Kenya and the enlarged market COMESA. The current rural and farm orientation that we are in should shift. A shift in strategy and paradigm must begin.
Medical tourism the great rift is such a resource, which gives both physical and psychological healing if taped and exploited it will put us in a class of our own. If the north rift can attract over 10 million tourists annually by 2030. But if we set up great economic institutions and systems e.g. the globalization of male circumsion calendar in December cultural tourism.

#VPmeetup

September the 1st the day I met the Kenya’s top online community. They included the top tweeps, Top Bloggers and Critics also in the house include some of the respectable media personalities. The meeting hosted at the Nairobi incubation lab that nurtures the Kenya’s ICT talents by mentoring and trainings and providing public free high speed internet. Organized by the vice president of Kenya dubbed is the #VPmeetup. Being one the hundred chosen for the meetup and engage the vice president on the one on one session. My questions to him the aspect of ict village like that of Machakos how do you plan to replicate others in the inland parts of Kenya.
#VPmeetup gave a window of opportunity to me, to interact the people I knew behind the gadgets. People who are of great respect in the Kenya society. It was great exposure for a young blogger being also one of the youngest in the house. But determined I made friends quickly meeting one of my age mate Klein the vice president son. Asset manager at a bank one of the ktn presenters and other including the vice president spokesman whom we spoke in kalenjin. To Kenya’s top software developer whom I made contact with them e.g. ushahidi and. The vice president delivered a speech on the impact of ICT on Kenya’s economy.
Social media is a component in this age of entrepreneurship and marketing thus a growing need in the economics front. With new applications that watches the market and informs one of the happenings. Other machines are currently mobile controlled.
The LinkedIn community a professional site one they must have social account for the job seekers a good place to enrich your network. ICT is said to be one the drivers of the economy in tip age. Could this be the move of Kenya’s politics to the social media? With many of the politicians joining the online community for political platform. On coincidence the dinner with the pm was on concurrently on the same day. This entry of politics in the social media could be drifting it to the political media. With history like the president of America being one known to have heavily benefited from the social media on his political platform.

Its worth to note also that cyberspace is the next playground for terrorists. With future inclination towards software bombs. Information systems and icts that are poorly secured remain vulnerable to cyber attacks and intrusions. Terrorist can use deadly viruses. Hacking tools and malicious software to initiate I have got great passion of ICT knowing that it’s the driver of the economy in this age. Their evil plans With more companies embracing social media in communicating with their clients e.g. safaricom care. Social media seems to closely play with Kenya’s politics savvy politicians embracing internet to sustain campaigns

Re Tracing oneself



Then who is to be blamed ? Us, The devil, Church, Government or the Parents? The big deal is denial. Accepting reality is the first step of getting developed and getting healed: The way forward! Can we just accept that pain is part of survival? Its normal being dumped in relationship do we accept that way? There exist a big difference between the will and desire. The reality checks we can't make a move before we check our reality and back to the drawing board. Are will living by the proverb once bitten twice shy. Establishing a one's template. We are living on borrowed template. My question to you ladies and gentlemen which template are you living on? Do we have a standard template? Only in Christ your template can change. Thou other factor are e.g. education and business. Template of propelling your life. World operate on force that are pulling us apart. Travelling is the greatest eye opener. you cannot say die while you are a youth member. A change of template is a change of one's life. I’m a firm believer that a youth can change our future.
