The AMREF boss said something powerful in the just concluded Health Summit:You can not talk health when Kenya Bureau of Standards still take bribes to issues clearance certificates for substandard foods and beverages!!
The market is flooded with fake alcohol, aflatoxin laden cereals, industrial sugars,fake cooking oil and we still want to boast how SHA covers 2 dialysis per week and kidney transplant!!!
UHC starts with preventive health.We can not feed our people poison then smile that we gave them milk to dilute the poison!!
Mr President, FIRE the Minister,his PSs and all the people at @KEBS_ke because they are killing us slowly!!!!!
SHA can cover for our NEEDS not GREED!
As they say:a stitch in time saves nine!!
It was such a joy getting to spend time with Joe and Jill, George and Laura, and Bill and Hillary last week. Barack and I will always be grateful for your constant friendship and support of our family over the years.
(And George, thanks for the mints!)
What’s mediocre about Oburu?
He is an elected senator.
He has been an MP for more than 20 years.
He has been a councillor (now called an MCA).
He has also served as an EALA MP.
He graduated with a PhD in Economics from Russia in 1970, at a time when even secondary school leavers were considered highly educated. Back then, Kenya possibly had fewer than 50 doctorate holders. Gikonyo Kiano was the first in 1950s.
Even today, out of a population of 55 million, fewer than 10,000 people have earned a doctorate. Isn't that less than 0.01%? It clearly isn’t for every Tom, Dick, and Edwin.
Oburu has served as an Assistant Minister for Finance and also held a senior position in the Ministry of Planning.
He is also a successful businessman, with a net worth of over 500 million (away from the multi-billion estate).
He is two years older than Rayila, meaning if he is too old, then Rayila too, was.
What's mediocre about him?
President Ruto isn’t campaigning, he’s consolidating. Incumbency, national visibility, grassroots networks, a disciplined political machine, and a broad governing coalition give him structural advantage. The opposition is still negotiating egos, coalition arithmetic, and messaging.
— President Ruto decided it will not be up to future generations to decide whether Raila Odinga was a Great Helmsman. It is up to those who did their politics with Raila Odinga to determine that question and no better living person, other than perhaps, Uhuru Kenyatta, played it at Raila’s Odinga’s level long enough to eventually meet him on the ballot, a contest he [Ruto] often refers to as one that was ‘between the student and his teacher’.
Kenya’s highest honour, and now the nation’s biggest sports facility. On the day of its dedication I wish this music band comes to perform — The Mission Brothers.
This primitive tribalist cannot fathom the Uhuru era when he sat in JSC, intimidating good judges and transferring them out of Nairobi as punishment; is over.
Your mediocre group is not coming back to power.
Retire and go farm, that’s if you looted enough to own anything above 50*100.

@EtalePhilip Phil, please get someone to update the party website on activities and local party offices (including contacts). We have rolled up our sleeves for the hard but good work ahead. Let our tech team blow our minds. Thank you.
Gladys Wanga and team, why are you demanding sanity from Mutahi Kahiga or pleading with Rigathi Gachagua to mourn with us? You should not. You cannot force anyone to be sane or to mourn. Let them be. It is a nonsensical discussion which Baba would not have entertained at all.
