I have gone through Parliament’s , report and what is inside is deeply disturbing.
It reveals that kidney transplants were done on terminally ill patients, including those with cancer, TB, and severe heart conditions.
In one month alone, one surgeon and one anaesthesiologist reportedly handled 24 kidney transplants, an unusually high number for such complex procedures.
The report says many patients were not properly counselled before surgery.
And it gets worse.
One donor developed kidney injury after donating in one of the kidney transplant hospitals. Two suffered severe bleeding. Others reportedly died from complications after leaving the hospital.
One donor says they were lured with a promise of KSh 1.2 million and got nothing.
Also, some students were allegedly lured into donating kidneys without their parents’ knowledge. Some were paid much less than they were promised
The report also reveals that the transplant team at the centre of this operation included 3 Indian specialists who were reportedly bringing in recipients from abroad, while donors were sourced locally in Kenya.
That raises serious questions about an organised transplant network.
It also raises concerns about transplant tourism, with patients reportedly travelling from Somalia to Eldoret for transplants, and claims some were covered under NHIF.
Even more disturbing, some donors and recipients were allegedly assigned false identities to make them appear related. Somali citizens from Somalia were being given Kalenjin.
That points to possible organised fraud inside a medical system.
My problem with the report is that it did not go far enough into Kakamega and Kisii, where many alleged victims also exist.
And despite all these findings, there still appears to be an attempt to soften Mediheal’s image.
If even half of this report is accurate, this may be one of Kenya’s most serious medical scandals.
A report alone is not accountability. The owners of mediheal should be arrested and charged. Their license should be revoked. I have attached snippets of the report in replies
DCI chief confirming that Safaricom gave them all access to track, trace, dox and geolocate Tuju's phone number, including the exact time it was switched off.
DCI didn't get a court order to access Tuju's details. DCI ,Safaricom axis of evil and that illegal backend access again, as they have always done.
There have been three confirmed hospital murders, two at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) and one recently at Chiromo Group of Hospitals.
Experts are calling it a systemic failure of security and governance.

Once , @RailaOdinga you were Baba Moses. Now you can’t deliver us to the Promised land. You are stuck in Pharaonic Egypt. Let our people go under the new progressive Calebs. Ask the Pope about conclaves. Kenyans want their own Peoples’ National Convention. Not fake dialogues.

@charlruto "I write to you, young men (Read Gen Z), because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one." – 1 John 2:14
They told us that police were deployed to protect businesses. But looting happened and non of those looting criminals has been arrested. Goons caused all manner of havoc including robbing motorists and pedestrians, and even worse there are reports of r*pe. But clearly the authorities turned a blind eye on this, yet earlier they were very busy teargassing and shooting kids who were protesting peacefully.
We are not blind neither are we st*pid! The story that Standard newspaper carried a couple of days ago about planned violence and destruction by entities withing the Kenya Kwanza administration so as to paint the protest a certain way and also instill fear, unfolded right before our eyes!
God! Please deliver us from this wickedness!

The nominated senator stated that the best apology is changed behaviour, and she has yet to see that in the current leadership.
