Me neither. That is because it doesn\u2019t exist yet. But I am proposing one. Chapter 21, I\u2019ll call it. In the bill I\u2019ll propose a basic national haircut, by age sets, for all genders. Tier One, for newborns up to PP2. Tier Two, From Grade 1 to Form 4. Tier Three for matatu drivers, politicians and nduthi guys. And Tier Four the grown up Kenyans. That way if any barber veers off, we send them to Kamiti.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had an emergency haircut, the other day, to fix a terrible emergency haircut I had just had.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first one was terrible. Horrendous even. If it wasn\u2019t going to be fixed, I would have stayed indoors for the next four weeks. Or joined a monastery in Limuru and stay there, interceding for Gen Zs and politicians, until my hair grew back. I estimate it would have taken a month.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The barber was ok, ish. The barber shop was the problem. It did not have a mirror. Mirrors are important.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many years ago I took part in the drafting of what was then the National Youth Policy, and the structural architecture of what is now the National Youth Commission. It was heavy work, even now when I think about.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My team worked on Chapter 6 of the policy: Youth, Sexual Reproductive Health, and HIV\/Aids &amp; STIs. We holed up at Whitesands Hotel, with help from the UNFPA and for two weeks, fought for and about that policy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But as we all know in Kenya, implementation is the problem. Why is it so hard to activate policies that we collectively agree that are good, in good time?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When my Haircuts bill is enacted, it will be implemented immediately and to the full. Bad barbers will go to jail.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My usual barber was not available, last Tuesday. I will never forgive him for that.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I spent the better part of that evening looking for a replacement barber. After checking out five barber shops I gave up. In the morning, I did three more stops before I found a guy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I said what I wanted and that I was in a hurry. Before I could notice what was going on, a big chunk of my hair was on my lap. I gasped. That\u2019s when I looked for the mirror that would ideally be in front of me. There was none.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine the tension.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a practicing creative passionate about policy work, I have so many questions about the creative economy. Like why don\u2019t we have a permanent attache at the Executive Office of the President in charge of the Creative Economy? Where do the culture, trade, youth, arts and tourism ministries meet with regards to the economy? What is the Last Mile for every subsector of the creative economy? For a country that is a net importer of subsistence, what are our thoughts on sustainable creative economy? Will the next president come with a new focus and leave us hanging?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two things I know about policy work; First, if it is not on paper, it does not exist, and secondly, infrastructure follows policy, always. Not the other way round.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How did I trust a barber who has no mirrors? Why didn\u2019t I notice the lack of mirrors?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are men who are not bold enough to talk about what they are going through. Me I am different. I will shout it from the rooftops. I was mad. We called my usual barber, he just burst out laughing when he showed up.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Running a country is like running a barber shop.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we don\u2019t have mirrors, everyone is going home with a brand new terrible designer hair cut. And we will live with that for a while. Lack of mirrors deny us the opportunity to make changes and give direction where needed.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you don\u2019t have good motivated teachers, the students will cut as the vibes lead. Lack of solid plans, and even ignoring good solid plans, and we\u2019re losing out on not just the good intention and goodwill, but we are stealing away time, knowing very well down the line, and hopefully we find one, a master barber will need to come through, shave us bald so that we can start afresh.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe State House should call those old time master barbers to help them, or even help with innovation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know what they say, \u2018Mwenzako akinyolewa, chako tia maji.\u2019 I just pray the current barber in this country will have big enough mirrors, and experience, and the willingness to be taught.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Call your MPs and tell them when my bill comes to the floor, they have to pass it.
