A boda boda rider crashes and cannot work for three weeks. A market trader’s stock burns in a stall fire. A smallholder farmer loses a herd to disease. None of them had insurance, not because they did not want it, but because every policy they looked at was built for someone with a payslip. CIC Insurance Group is betting that changes now. The company has launched CIC Impact, a subsidiary built for people whose income does not arrive as a fixed salary on the 25th of every month, and whose annual premiums start below Ksh 3,000.

Nobody hands you a manual for either. Life arrives without warning and love follows on its own schedule, rarely when you feel ready and almost never when it is convenient. Between the two, most people spend years learning the same lessons repeatedly until the weight of them finally settles into something useful. This is about those lessons. You Cannot Rush What Needs Time to Grow Modern life rewards speed. Fast decisions, quick results, instant connection. Yet the things that matter most, a career built with integrity, a friendship that survives difficulty, a love that holds through seasons of change, all…

TikTok used the AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva to unveil a fresh round of measures aimed at making artificial intelligence on its platform easier to understand, harder to abuse, and safer for the people who encounter it every day. The announcement lands alongside the platform’s Q1 2026 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report, which shows Kenya’s video removals continuing a steady climb that has run through nearly every quarter of the past year.
