Rosemary Koech’s death should force Kenyan criminal and succession law to catch up with how domestic abuse actually kills. Where a partner’s unlawful campaign of abuse is a substantial cause of suicide, the charge should be manslaughter. A conviction on that basis should also stop the abuser taking the estate. Section 96 of the Law of Succession Act speaks of murder; the principle behind it, that you must not profit from causing a death, should apply with equal force.

The remarks made by Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale in Parliament yesterday are, to say the least, deeply troubling.

The Constitution cannot be suspended by executive declaration.Kenya is a sovereign, democratic State governed by the Constitution of Kenya 2010. Article 1(1) is crystal clear: “All sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and shall be exercised only in accordance with this Constitution.” Sovereign power does not reside with Cabinet Secretaries, ministries, or foreign partners, it resides with the people of Kenya.

Any major decision that affects public health, land use, national security, or the siting of sensitive facilities especially one involving international partnerships and potential risks to local communities must respect the national values and principles of governance enshrined in Article 10 of the Constitution.

Public participation is not an optional courtesy. CS Duale’s assertion that an “abnormal situation” excuses the government from consulting citizens directly contradicts these values. The people of Laikipia have already voiced their concerns. The High Court has intervened by halting construction pending proper disclosure. Ignoring these voices is not decisive leadership it is executive arrogance that treats citizens as subjects rather than the ultimate sovereigns.

Dr James Nyikal is the reason why you need professionals with ethos and values in Parliament. He has always been my model professional legislator. He has told the House that a health pandemic like Ebola is as a matter of science, dealt with on site and not abroad.

[Gabby Otchere-Darko @GabbyDarko]

I attended the wedding of my niece and during his sermon, the priest prayed: “Lord, bless her womb with fruitfulness and grant this union the gift of children.”

I must confess I felt very uncomfortable when he did not also pray: “Lord, bless him also with the health and vitality to be a fruitful partner in bringing forth new life.”

It reminded me of a deeply ingrained cultural assumption in our society: when a marriage does not produce children, suspicion often falls first, and sometimes exclusively, on the woman.

Yet medical science and centuries of experience tell us that infertility can arise from either partner. In fact, many couples spend years focusing on the woman, only to discover much later that the challenge lies with the man, who’d been firing blanks all years long. Sometimes they realise it when valuable time has already been lost.

Our language, prayers, jokes and social expectations often unconsciously reinforce the notion that childbearing is solely the woman’s responsibility. It is not!

If we are going to pray for fruitfulness in marriage, we should pray equally for healthy wombs and healthy seeds, for both husband and wife to be blessed with the ability to bring children into the world.

The burden, after all, should not rest on one partner alone.

Infertility is often misunderstood. In this clip, Gabrielle Union shares how her symptoms were repeatedly attributed to age, delaying a correct diagnosis for years.

Oguda has shared a video of a man who told his mother that he is not her husband for financially and emotionally laboring him all the time without appreciation.

This one below has created a group and called it people i went broke for and went on to rant.

I Understand both of them. Black tax can break you, but it need not to.

Dear firstborns, siblings who have taken on the responsibility and the burden of the family.

Kindly Know this👇🏾

1. Often you will not be appreciated and or seen in the way you wish to be.
2. With that in mind, do what you can and don’t burn yourself to keep anyone warm, they won’t remember.
3. Start to draw boundaries and decenter yourself from thoughts and things and situations you thought mattered while strictly looking at them they only mattered to you because of your involvement. You don’t owe anyone anything. You are not a bad person.
4. In creating your boundaries, learn to say NO, firmly. No one will die.
5. Then heal yourself, prioritize yourself, your beliefs, your mental health, your money, your spirituality and do all you can to bring yourself joy and peace.
6. And know, you can love them from a distance.

While at it, REMEMBER YOU WILL NEVER REACH YOUR DESIRED POTENTIAL BY CARRYING BURDENS THAT WERE NEVER YOURS FROM THE BEGINNING.

Thank you.
Healed Eldest Child.😇

No leave required.

The Supreme Court holds: under Article 164(3)(a), an appeal from the High Court’s original jurisdiction in succession matters does not require leave. Leave must be expressly stated by statute—it is neither implied nor inferred from silence. The Law of Succession Act imposes no such condition.

A clear, long-awaited restatement of the law.

Knowledge of the existence of the order is sufficient.

After five failed surgeries on her face, Lucy Gathoni was almost at the point of despair. But, a team of more than 20 specialists in Nairobi took on one of the most complex procedures ever performed in Kenya: an 18-and-a-half-hour facial reconstruction surgery to remove tumours and rebuild her face once more.

For the last 2 years, @WillowHealthKe has been on this.

[Thuranira @Thuranira_1]

Kenyatta University Teaching Referral Hospital was ordered by the High Court to immediately and unconditionally release the body of Roselyn Mukoko Aura, which had been unlawfully detained over an outstanding medical bill of Kshs 561,502.

The Court made it clear that a dead body is neither property nor a commodity capable of being held as security. Its continued detention serves no lawful purpose and only inflicts unnecessary psychological suffering on the bereaved family while undermining their dignity.

Justice L N Mugambi dismissed the hospital’s preliminary objections, firmly stating that a body cannot be used as collateral for debt. While the hospital retains the right to recover the outstanding amount through lawful means, that process cannot come at the expense of the family’s right to a dignified burial.

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.
