Tech is such a game changer. We have 55k+ people in an X space talking about real issues affecting Kenyans.

Perspective: That’s an entire football stadium! It’s the biggest online political rally ever witnessed in Kenya with non-politicians (including Gen Z) speaking 🤯

Never been prouder to be Kenyan! 🇰🇪

An inspiring testimony ahead Holy Thursday: ❤️➕

A few hours before starting the Paschal Triduum, the central time of #HolyWeek2024, with the celebration of Holy Thursday, the day when Jesus instituted the Eucharist and the priesthood, we share the testimony of @MissCiku, a veteran journalist who now dedicates her life to lead more hearts to the Holy Eucharist, the real presence of Jesus.

Ciku Muiruri was a household name when her program “Busted” that exposed cheating spouses on Kenya’s Classic FM got everyone hooked. Those who were caught on the wrong side of “Busted” blamed Ciku for their broken marriages while their partners thanked her for opening their eyes to the deception of their spouses.⁣
⁣
But the days of “Busted” are behind Ciku now. Though she does not regret hosting the program, she is happier spending her energy evangelizing her thousands of ardent followers instead.⁣
⁣
On Ciku’s Facebook page, the veteran Kenyan journalist has countless posts encouraging devotion to the Holy Eucharist, Novenas, spiritual retreats, and participation in Church development projects.⁣
⁣
Ciku started out her career in radio at Kenya’s Capital FM and has had several other radio stints at top Kenyan media houses, including Standard Group, Nation Media Group and Radio Africa.⁣
⁣
Though her activities at “Busted” trail her, with many episodes still finding their way to TikTok where they trend, Ciku remains unswayed and is focused on promoting spiritual growth in the Catholic Archdiocese of Nairobi.⁣
⁣
In her interview with ACI Africa, she shared about her faith as a child, how she ended up in the media, as well as the big turning point in her life when she decided to devote all her strength to Church activities, especially in engaging digital peripherals to evangelize.⁣ She also shares her biggest spiritual struggles, and how she overcame them.
⁣
Ciku’s message to Catholics in seeking to promote the faith in Africa is to make everyone aware of the “real presence” of Christ in the Eucharist. “That’s where all devotions lead,” she said.⁣

My neighbor owns a powerful home-theatre. I do not own any kind of volume amplifier speakers. When she feels sufficiently philanthropic with her volume, she dictates the genre of music everyone is going to listen to.

A well-coordinated homeschooling programme that involves guardians and teachers. It's not easy to control children's interactions with others and allowing children with underlying health conditions to go to school while there's no cure for Covid would be exposing them to risks.

[Beryl Oywer @AnyangoOywer]

What measures should be taken to ensure that children with underlying health conditions can continue with their education? @thesarahmwangi @christinekasiva @WyectKingsley @AgnesZena1 @evelynkahungu @SirAlexas @Odoloyce @Sang_254 @AKU_GSMC #BackToSchool2021 #GSMCchangeintiative

@atetwe_ezekiel What areas within the healthcare sector need most funding?

[Aineah Agnes @AgnesZena1]

@christinekasiva @AnyangoOywer Absolutely. It will be heavy work, handling several streams of the same class is the classes are divided to achieve social distancing. The teachers should feel well compensated.

[Aineah Agnes @AgnesZena1]

We need to increase the capacity in underprivileged schools for us to talk about the safe return to school

[Beryl Oywer @AnyangoOywer]

As children go back to school @UNICEFKenya recommends that Water, sanitation and hygiene are critical. Schools must have a good supply of water and soap. Do we have the necessities in place? @thesarahmwangi @CynthiaKimola @christinekasiva @SirAlexas @odoloyce #BackToSchool2021

[Aineah Agnes @AgnesZena1]

@AnyangoOywer At this point, we may also need to revisit the laptop project. If we had it, it would have enabled a smoother transition to virtual learning in public schools.

[Aineah Agnes @AgnesZena1]

Schools that have had a taste of virtual learning will never go drop it completely even if physical classes resume. Blended learning is the future

[Beryl Oywer @AnyangoOywer]

Is blended learning the future? Where we will have both face to face and remote learning @shisia_wasilwa @isaacswila @lamwakasandra @venter3 @PeteMwangangi @christinekasiva @Gakiiz @evelynkahungu @DoreenWainainah #BackToSchool2021 #GSMCChangeinitiative

COVID-19 just exposed our ailing healthcare sector. Unless our political leadership prioritizes on funding the healthcare sector, we will still experience the same issues as we enter the post-covid recovery.

@AgnesZena1 @Gakiiz @OrindeHillary @mokeiralaban Quality in healthcare means providing the care the patient needs when the patient needs it, in an affordable, safe, effective manner.
Are healthcare providers integral to this?that's what should inform our way forward 🤔
