This is Dr. Joe Obwaka, an 83-year-old Obstetrician and Gynaecologist.
He has taught generations of medical practitioners and continues to practice in both private and public hospitals.
Early this morning, he was unlawfully arrested despite existing court orders granting anticipatory bail.
Yes, a legal dispute exists within the Kenya Hospital Association (Nairobi Hospital), and the matter has not yet been determined by the court.
The regime cannot weaponise law enforcement agencies for political mileage.

More pictures of pre-colonial Architecture. Times when we built with materials available in our local environment and in response to our climate, as it’s supposed to be.
Now we have plain, white boxes all around our urban environment.

“The Lonely Mushroom” is a captivating digital artwork that portrays a majestic, towering mushroom at its center. This central figure symbolizes resilience and uniqueness, standing tall amidst a serene, mystical backdrop. Surrounding the primary mushroom are smaller, delicate mushrooms sprouting from the same network, symbolizing community, growth, and interconnectedness. The artwork’s intricate details and vibrant colors draw viewers into a whimsical world, where the lone mushroom and its companions narrate a story of solitude, companionship, and the beauty of nature’s cycles.

Dear Mr. Ndegwa & Safaricom team,
I hope my message finds you well. I don't know where you were when Mpesa started, but a quick memory flashback will suffice.
When MJ became the first CEO of Safaricom and mooted the idea of Mpesa , banks, the top banks were furious. They lobbied and finally had a date with the acting finance minister, then Hon. Francis Michuki, alongside the governor of CBK Njuguna Ndungu. @CBKKenya
Banks made it clear that a communication company venturing into the world of money without being a bank is a big no-no. While banks approached CBK 17 years ago, Safaricom is today approaching CCK the regulator trying to stop a fellow communication company.
The wise men Michuki and Ndungu paid close attention and disregarded the banks' appeal, allowing Mpesa to continue operating. If banks receive the news that Mpesa will disappear today, they will be the first to voice their objections.
I saw a letter asking CCK not to license Starlink but to insist they partner with local players. Why does Starlink need a local player to set up shop apart from the unnecessary broker role, which is not required at all?
It saddens me greatly that today a firm that benefited from the free market is busy seeking favors that don't exist in law. The Internet is a necessity and no longer a luxury. As a hotelier, we have camps and lodges that struggle with connectivity, and even what we get is hit-and-miss while the cost is insane.
In Kenya, there are numerous small towns and schools that lack connectivity. This means that learners and residents of these smaller towns often miss out on the benefits of full connectivity at decent speeds, simply due to their perceived lack of financial resources.
Safaricom has no business trying to place obstacles in Starlink's path. Today, Safaricom finds itself in a similar situation to banks, which are attempting to block Mpesa services. Well, what is good for the goose is good for the gander, so please allow Starlink to be.
Starlink doesn't require you, Safaricom, or any other player to act as a go-between. This is precisely why Starlink relies on satellite technology, eliminating the need for intermediaries who would only increase the cost.
Bw Ndegwa Please wear your creative hat with your team and come up with a counter as opposed to seeking to place hurdles in the path of Starlink.
When MJ was asked about Mpesa he said he is not targeting the bank's clientele; he was simply targeting what the banks then described as the unbankable. Those are the clients who could not maintain a minimum bank balance of Ksh30,000. Today, Starlink is also serving the unserved and undeserved in the digital world of connectivity. Well they will also then target Safaricom clients like yours truly here in fact I am using my homefibre to share this message.
Instead of trying to stop a river, how about building a dam for a rainy day? Reach out to Starlink to be their partners in Kenya and use your wide network across Kenya to service them. Banks did not insist that Mpesa service go through them but by default that finally happened purely dictated by market demand and not through goverment control or dictates.
Please learn to grow the cake to achieve a larger pie, and avoid becoming overly comfortable with a bigger slice of a smaller cake. When you get too comfortable, you get obese don't let Safaricom get too comfortable.
Please let Starlink be
As always, I choose to remain an optimist.
