NTV Kenya yesterday reported that 30,000 newborn babies died in Kenya last year.

That is 82 babies dying every single day.

The worst-hit regions are Nyanza, Western Kenya, and ASAL counties, places where poverty already makes maternal healthcare harder to access.

And this is where the conversation gets uncomfortable.

Yes, Linda Mama still exists under the SHA.
But it is not the original Linda Mama that many mothers knew that helped many.

The original Linda Mama, launched under Margaret Kenyatta, allowed mothers to enter the system early, with very low upfront cost of as low as 200ksh, access antenatal clinics, routine monitoring, delivery support, emergency referrals, and newborn care during the most critical months of life.

It was designed to bring poor mothers into care early and reduce maternal and neonatal deaths.

The current SHA-linked version is different.

For many poor families, registration and contribution requirements have become a barrier. Being asked to pay 12,000ksh for many is tough.

And poverty changes behaviour.

A mother without money delays clinic visits.
She postpones scans.
She skips checkups.
She shows up late when complications have already worsened.

And when care starts late:
Complications are harder to manage.
Emergency interventions become more common.
And newborn survival becomes harder.

Not every newborn death is because Linda Mama changed. That would be dishonest.

But by the Ruto govt making maternal care harder to access for poor mothers, especially at the earliest stages of pregnancy, has consequences.

Healthcare delays caused by poverty are deadly.

82 babies dying every day should force UDA and Ruto to ask themselves:
Are they making maternal healthcare easier for poor mothers, or harder?

I saw someone ask, “What exactly has Edwin Sifuna done in the Senate?”

Fair question.

Because in Kenyan politics, too many leaders are loud on TV and silent in Parliament.

So I checked the record.

So far, Sifuna has tabled 3 Bills and pushed 3 major people-centred motions:

1. Sports (Amendment) Bill
To reform sports governance, improve accountability in sports bodies, and protect athletes from mismanagement.
2. Energy (Amendment) Bill
To address high electricity costs, strengthen regulation in the energy sector, and push for fairer pricing for consumers.

3. Office of the County Printer Bill
To institutionalize county publication of laws and notices, making county governments more transparent and accountable.

And his motions?

1. Abolishing parking fees in hospitals, malls and airports
Because access to hospitals and essential services should not come with punitive charges.
2. Inquiry into deputy governors’ welfare and protection
To address the growing trend of political frustration, humiliation and sidelining of deputy governors.
3. Electricity cost reduction reforms
To push government and regulators to lower the cost of power for households and businesses.

On top of that, he has been active in Senate oversight committees, questioning governors, including Johnson Sakaja, on accountability. He has also submitted several statements in the Senate. And much more is on the way.

This is why some of us support Sifuna.

Not because we are blind.
Not because of party loyalty.
But because we checked the receipts.

Before dismissing him, show us your MP or Senator’s record first.

I missed my flight in Nairobi once because of traffic on Mombasa Road.
Like fully missed it. I got to the airport sweaty, exhausted, dragging my suitcase like it personally betrayed me.
I already knew there was no chance, but I still ran to the counter hoping for mercy.
The woman checked her screen, looked at me, then said, “You were the last passenger.”
I laughed a little because what else do you do at that point?
Then she lowered her voice and said, “The plane is still on the ground.”
Next thing I know this airport employee is SPEED WALKING me through the terminal like we’re in an action movie.
Security waved me through, another worker grabbed my carry-on to help me run, and I’m apologizing to literally everyone while fighting for my life.
I got to the gate completely out of breath.
The guy scanning boarding passes looked at me and said, “Eh, Nairobi traffic. We understand.”
People on the plane actually clapped when I walked in looking half dead.
I have never respected airport workers more in my life. Big up to them.

A Kenyan has just beaten Safaricom PLC in court and been awarded Sh1.4 billion.

And honestly, this case is disturbing.

Peter Nthei Muoki says he developed a child-wallet concept for M-Pesa and pitched it to Safaricom in 2021.

According to court documents, he was told it wasn’t workable. Then later, Safaricom rolled out a similar feature.

He sued.

And High Court Judge Josephine Wayua Wambua Mong'are ruled in his favour.
Safaricom has now been ordered to pay him Sh1.4 billion plus annual royalties.

Imagine being told your idea won’t work, then later seeing it launched by one of the biggest companies in the country.

That’s the painful part.

Because, how many ordinary Kenyans have pitched ideas to powerful companies, been ignored, and watched those same ideas come back as products?

This case will make many innovators think twice.

Many of you dont know Sara, but after joining KDF sarah got an opportunity to work for the army of the USA. sadly
Kenyans in the US are mourning the loss of Sara Andiki, who served in the United States Army.

Until her death, Sara was attached to the 492nd En Co, where she faithfully served alongside her fellow service members.

She was known among friends and colleagues for her kind heart, gentle spirit, and willingness to help others.

Sara touched many lives with her warmth, discipline, and dedication both in and out of uniform.

Rest in peace, Sara.

Finds ID registration FREE, introduces a Ksh. 1,000 fee and then "scraps" it after 13 months in the spirit of listening to the cries of Kenyans... MATAK0 YAKE! Finds Fuel at Ksh. 159, raises it to Ksh. 177, increases it again to Ksh. 207 and then "reduces" it to Ksh. 190. Increases it by 48 shillings, then "cuts" Ksh. 10... MATAK0 YAKE!

The true irony? There’s been a loud “boy child neglect” narrative, decrying how all the attention goes to girls. Yet when you follow the conversation, it’s mostly that same gender (complainants) bashing this boy’s story-silencing boys even more.

Na mjue hizo private hospitals mnakimbilia also have malpractice. I know a 1st hand case where an anesthesiologist came in drunk and overmedicated a patient with anesthesia and the patient died. He was going in for a simple routine procedure that only required light sedation and took only 15-20mins max. The hospital management knew and they buried the case intentionally and never told the relatives the truth of their loved one’s death.
