We had a lecturer in Daystar University her name is Rebecca Ng'ang'a, who taught us communication strategy class. She would use a similar approact to teach us, instilling life skills into us and speaking life. She would make us write reflections every now and then about our observations in life, and this really impacted my life and work in general. God bless her, and King'ori, this is a much needed conversation. Keep up the good work.

She is an amazing gem. Transformative in many areas.

One day in early 1990s, I was escorting two Indian visitors who witnessed our boys pluck off two side mirrors on Uhuru Highway. They asked the usual naive questions of why they were doing it, where it would be sold, who would buy it, etc. What has remained in my mind was their question-"why can no design engineer build replicas locally and sell them to curb demand for stolen ones?" I am sure there are numerous Kenyans who can make alot of the hard plastic vehicle parts that the market needs. Listening to this Prof. gives me hope that one of his students may be working on this 30yrs later. Thanks Dr. Kingori for educative content that gets us thinking. Kudos!

[@ismailcs7643]

I agree with the Engineer's perspective, particularly from his own experience. To illustrate, I supported my brother through his education in engineering, covering his school fees all the way. He graduated four years ago, yet he constantly blames me for “misguiding” him into what he now sees as the wrong career path. It’s something I never anticipated. Today, he works as a taxi driver, unable to find opportunities in his field. Corruption, nepotism, and favoritism only make matters worse, leaving those from humble backgrounds without a voice. Even devolution, which was meant to help, seems to be worsening the situation.

Kingori, I really enjoyed listening to this podcast, good choice you made on this one. If we have 100,000 engineers that have graduated and only 3000 are licenced, it makes me wonder why. I am one of those people that believe that regulations can sometimes be punitive instead of encouraging free trade in a nation. I was a student at KU when Eshiwani was our chancellor, its fascinating for me to hear that he trusted the expensive decisions of Egyptions over that of his own people. Is this probably an issue of lack of confidence on our own ability as a people. I wonder if the proffessor can recomment to me one of his students that can repair for me a large electric chicken brooder that has worked only 4 times since I bought it in 2017. I keep making loses on it, but I give it another try before I give up.
