Yawe's Hard Talk Ep 19: Taxation and the Double Bed

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of wedding customs in Kenya, particularly the tradition of gifting newlyweds a lavish new bed. Join us as we unravel the origins of this practice, tracing it back to its roots in the bride’s mother providing bedding—symbolizing her daughter’s new life. But how did this evolve into the expectation of extravagant king-size beds that often don’t fit in newlyweds’ small homes? We explore the historical context, including the impactful hut census led by Mzee Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, which shifted living arrangements and created financial pressures on families. As we discuss the pressures of adhering to cultural norms, we invite listeners to consider the practical implications of such traditions in modern life. Should wedding gifts be about grandeur or practicality? Join us for a lively conversation that encourages a fresh perspective on how we celebrate love while staying grounded in reality. Tune in and share your thoughts on how we can honor tradition while embracing change! Episode based on Robert Yawe's article Taxation and the birth of the double bed.

Yawe's Hard Talk Ep 19: Kenya's Dairy Farming Mess

In 2020, Aqute Media conducted an in-depth exploration of the state of KCC. As a result, they produced a five-episode season that examined the evolution of dairy products from the pre-independence era to the present day, with a specific focus on KCC. In the final episode, I had the opportunity to engage in a conversation with Timothy Gatimu, the host of Kenya's Blueprint. This conversation is what is being featured in this episode of Yawe's Hard Talk.

Public School Principals; An Untapped Management Pool - Audio Article

A school principal has to deal with a very diverse set of interests and all kinds of demands. Their ability to deal with all these is something to envy and if some of our corporates had the same level of skill available to them they would have easily waded through some of the crises that have either crippled some or destroyed others. This audio article looks at school principals and why we might just be overlooking a group of people with brilliant managerial skills.

Still In My Mother's Kitchen - Audio Article

A number of factors in our childhood lives have influenced how we live in our adult lives. In materialistic things, we have advanced past what we had and used. For some, they have just maintained what they had. There are others who unfortunately fell behind. This is somewhat a measure of growth. The world keeps changing and so should you. Therefore ask yourself this: what in your life is still anchored with that of your parents? Are you still using similar appliances that were in your parent's house or have you advanced?
