Fossil fuels have dominated the world’s primary energy supply for the last century, but a transition to a more integrated and low carbon energy system is now gathering momentum. The transition may seem slow because the replacement energy providers — mainly wind and solar PV — start from a very low share. The quest to lower the carbon footprint of fossil fuel production and consumption is accelerating, both technologically and in terms of affordability, such that the next decade will witness some key tipping points in the energy landscape. The present shift in the energy mix is both market and policy driven, with climate-related concerns, amplified by youth activism, expected to have a significant regulatory impact. Local pollution and environmental problems are also playing a part in driving this transition, in addition to a geopolitical trend of reducing dependency on energy imports. The shift towards low carbon energy systems is taking place in all industry sectors and across all world regions. Reducing emissions from our homes and buildings is one of the most important things we can do to help end Kenya’s contribution to climate change. Households in Kaptagat are rapidly transitioning to low-carbon energy use after WWF-Kenya, through the UK PACT Greening Kaptagat project , installed biogas units in their homesteads TOWARDS LOW CARBON ENERGY SYSTEMS 6 .

Every community in the world has its signature foods. Kenya is no different. You can try a number of different local delicacies in Kenya which will satisfy your taste buds in every way possible. Internationally, we are famed for our nyama choma and ugali downed with a bottle of Tusker. However, in the midst of all this glory, Kenya has its fair share of weird foods, they may differ from tribe to tribe but here is a roundup of the most unusual local delicacies that require an acquired taste. Cow blood Drinking blood isn't as traumatic to the body as you think. The maasai community pierce a vein on the cow to draw some blood, then mix it with milk and put it on gourds before they drink it. Other communities here cook the ‘liquid meat’ - it hardens and tastes like liver. Termites When it rains in Kenya termites come off their nests and swarms happen when colonies have winged female and males and they have to mate. Some people take this opportunity to catch the insects. They eat them raw (after removing the head which is too crunchy because of the hard jaws) or fry them in a pan. They taste better when cooked. Chicken head and feet Next times you are enjoying that baked chicken don’t throw away the feet and head. When washed thoroughly, boiled then put to roast the becomes a little gelatinous in texture. It’s the proper seasoning that makes it so pungent and strong-tasting, with an acquired taste. If you’re feeling brave, you can try this tasty dish for yourself- but the bones get on your nerves after a while. Mandazi Pasua Mandazi is a Kenyan pastry made with deep fried dough. This breakfast must have in Kenyan household, is modified to whats commonly reffered as Mandazi Pasua. Basically the mandazi is split open stashed with anything ranging from chips/ frys and mutura (intestine-encased mixture of minced pieces of cow or goat meat, tripe, and cooled blood that's been flavored with onions, salt, pepper, and chili).Very unusual but delicious! Mashakura Pretty much summed up in the name, this is often a main dish served on a platter with one or more side dishes, such as a salad or french fries. In Kenya the mashakura dry platter is made of Kuku Kienyeji, mukimo, boiled maize, boiled cabbages with sprinkling of kachumbari. Goat head Considering how many places it’s eaten, perhaps it’s unfair to deem this weird. Still, it’s made mostly of goat head roasted on flames to burn off the hair and to give it some flavor. The head is then boiled for hours before being split open to eat all the gooey meat inside including the brains! The goat head is boiled for many more days, and people keep drinking the soup. 2 9 .

The prevailing culinary wisdom here in Kenya is that burgers pair best with hoppy beers. We don’t disagree. Hops are a nice way to cut through fat and bolder flavors in a burger’s toppings. guinnesske 3 0 . P E R F E C T PAI R Although any beer will taste delightful with a classic burger (topped with a classic beef burger with cheddar or cheese, pickles, lettuce, onion, ketchup, mustard, and potentially mayo), getting Hop House 13 beer (#HH13KE) specifically is the greatest way to go. The citrusy and often sweet-perceiving aspect of the larger is a wonderful counterpoint to a classic burger’s unctuous fat, cheese, and condiments for you to enjoy that burgery bite. Hop to it!

slaterandwhittaker Queening 3 8 . S I P AF T E R S I P I was now wondering what could have made the two ladies come to a final agreement. I had Joyce call me. I hurriedly went there and listen to what they had to say. As we all sat there each of us with our drinks, Joyce and Rahab took us back to when we were in High school. They could talk of how our high school life was and tried to apologize for all the times they made me feel out of place. Deep inside me, this was too late for them to apologize since they could salvage nothing. The two ladies opened up to how foolish they were to be lured by one guy, Mr Dickson. They could share the similar stories and similar places Dickson took them. This time, I was only listening to them. Part of me was feeling guilty but another part of me was not remorseful at all. They deserved what was going to come their way. As they were talking, this part of their story hit me hard. The part where they could both complain of how they got infected with some STIs and secretly treated them without any of us noticing. As for me, the worst had already happened. I only took some probiotics anytime we spent a night with Dickson. While open, honest dialogue is always the best course of action, it doesn ’t always yield open, honest results when you ’ re dealing with a deceitful people. FAITH RONO narrates the confrontation plan They made me feel out of place instead of feeling at ease. We were all going down together. Together, they were planning on how they were going to avenge on Dickson. This time, I was not sure if Dickson knew his status. The two ladies on the other side could only think of the few STI's aside from now HIV virus. I was curious to listen to what their plan could be. It was hard to tell who was hurt the most between the two. I knew Dickson had nothing to lose since he got what he wanted and knew at the end he could not end up with any of the two ladies. "Hey, girls, has any of you two ever taken some full checkup test? " Joyce asked as she served us some shots of Jose Cuervo Especial Gold. Well, that was a weird question but Rahab chimed in with a sounding No then I nodded yes. "I can never do that. I have heard that every time you go to test you get what you are looking for " Rahab Joked about it and we all laughed . That was the end of that topic. We couldn't go beyond there. Now, this was part of our plans. We were to hold a small party and invite Dickson over and blast Dickson about what we all know.

You might assume that all beer is vegan. Despite being brewed from plant-based ingredients, many beers are clarified using ‘finings’ of animal origin (gelatine from cows and pigs and issinglass from fish bladders). In addition, lactose is often used to build body in stouts and beers...but not for the experienced brewers! Instead, they store their beers far longer than the industry standard, giving the yeast and protein sufficient time to naturally settle out and then in some of their beers they use state of the art clarification that means they use zero animal products at any point in our production.
