@citizentvkenya The funding model is worse for older universities

@citizentvkenya Why didn’t you invite the Universities Academic Staff Union to participate in this debate? They are a key stakeholder

A Kenyan court has just delivered a landmark ruling in a medical negligence case that dragged on for almost two decades.

Naila Qureshi sued Dr Raffique Parker and two others over a hysterectomy procedure done back in 2006.

She says the doctor removed her cervix without her consent, and botched the operation so badly that it caused a vesico vaginal fistula.

The damage cost her her job and her ability to earn a living.

Her husband also joined the suit, citing loss of conjugal life and years of suffering.

Justice Alexander Muasya Muteti found the 1st and 3rd defendants grossly negligent.

The hospital was faulted too, for letting a doctor who had been disbarred in Uganda practice on Kenyan patients.

In the end, the court awarded the family a staggering Kshs 157,207,524.20 in damages.

It is one of the biggest medical negligence payouts ever ordered by a Kenyan court.

@BoardLotSultan Imagine insulting people whose savings are being discussed. Borrowers should be politer.
I joined a SACCO to access cheaper loans. Government joining the queue will drive up the cost of those loans.

I will never stop recommending this essay by Albert Camus. One of the most poignant reads of our generation and those yet to come.

Albert Camus' "The Human Crisis". Feels like a reflection on the lost art of being human. What it really means to be alive. Link below.

Mañana comenzará el Mundial, y muchos estarán atentos a los partidos. El fútbol nos recuerda algo que no debemos olvidar: la vida no es una carrera para lucirse en solitario, sino un camino que aprendemos a recorrer juntos. Quien no sabe pasar el balón, aunque tenga talento, todavía no ha entendido el juego. Y quien no sabe vivir con los demás y para los demás, todavía no ha entendido la vida. #ViajeApostólico

A disrupted marketplace is not giving PR/Comms/ Research agency owners the peace of mind they previously relied upon. So how should these founders pivot in this increasingly uncertain, volatile and contested era? Read some of my thoughts and let us engage further.

The level of medical negligence in this country will break your heart into pieces. At this rate, we may need a specialised medical court because KMPDC and other regulators are either incompetent or compromised or both.

Recently a doctor friend of mine from India fell ill while he was in Nairobi. He bought over the counter medicines from a pharmacy. We happened to meet after few days and what he told me shocked me. First Pharmaceutical products in Kenya cost 10X compared to other countries . Secondly the molecule strength is 10% quality compared to other countries. All countries have healthcare cartels. But in Kenya the pharma industry Mafia owns a country. The regulator Pharmacy & Poisons Board is a criminal enterprise for protecting cartels. I am happy for Mosop MP Abraham Kirwa for succesful recovery. I now urge him to summon the Ministry of Health to parliament and ask them what they are doing to track and trace all pharmaceutical products coming to Kenya

BOMBSHELL 5: The Land Act & Land Registration Act illegally dispersed Environment and Land Court (ELC) work to Magistrates Courts. Similarly magistrates courts shouldn't handle Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC) work. Magistrates Courts are subordinate to High Court in both rank and control, but only subordinate to ELC/ELRC in rank, NOT control. When Magistrates handle land/employment matters, who supervises them. The lack of a good answer reveals a dangerous jurisdictional chaos across our court system. 7/10

BOMBSHELL 1: Kenya operates an APARTHEID justice system - sophisticated courts for the wealthy, extrajudicial informal systems for everyone else. We've recreated colonial segregation through judicial architecture, by abandoning the ideals of Article 159(2) 3/10

@kahome_steve If you are the first to receive chama contributions, you get a cheap almost cost free loan.
If you’re the last, it’s consistent savings made with people who hold you to account

[Linda Khaemba @Lindakhaemba]

@moneyacademyKE True. Kenyan banks are also happy to lend for consumption (car loan, mortgage), but will not lend you the same amount to fund your business

@MwangoCapital 1. What’s the point of having accounts audited annually if financial malpractices cannot be detected?
2. Whats the point of having accounts audited regulator? How many SACCOs have gone under under SASRA’s watch?

@SylviaKangara @Lindakhaemba used to ask us in class, "good rule bad rule" in those a million cases in contract law. That is the lens I am using these days when drafting submissions and I need a common law principle. Bila pressure it is actually fun.
