This year, the first batch of CBC students will be completing their junior secondary school. As it stands, no one is clear about how they will transition to senior secondary and into tertiary education. How did we make such a huge mess of our kids' education?
Professor Wandia Njoya joins us in studio to talk about Kenya, and really the continent's education system. Where did the system we have today originate from, and what purpose does it serve? This is part of a 2-episode series. Look out for the second episode, coming up in the next week or so!

Kenya is currently the Africa guinea pig for over-regulation of agriculture with a goal of commercialising the sector. This episode looks at legalization (and commercialization) of marijuana in the US as a base to see how capitalism ruins things.
Legalizing drugs is good for consumers. However, commercializing drugs is not good for consumers. On the same breath, developing agriculture is good for farmers and consumers. Over-regulating agriculture is not good for either! This solo episode is a stream of consciousness of these two things that are related in a way...Listen to the episode of The Daily that is mentioned on this episode here.

Many African countries, Kenya included are heavily indebted at the moment. Kenya owes about 14 trillion shillings, which is about 72% of our GDP. Half of this tax is domestic debt (denominated in Kenya Shillings), and the other half is foreign currency denominated (USD). What are our options, seeing as it seems we have hit the ceiling insofar as how much we can raise from taxes.
Kwame talks to us about the nature of our debt currently, and our options (if any) moving forward. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
