Whenever I catch myself not reading things completely, I remember anti-intellectualism is on the rise, literacy is in decline, and I don’t want to be a VICTIM!
Siku tutatoa Wantam and Sakaja, Kenyans will be hopeful like New Yorkers and Mamdani.
Maraga atakuwa anafanya basics na tunaanza kulia tukikumbuka vile tuliteseka na wantam.
That Kibaki 2003 hope that had grandparents going back to school will be nothing compared to this
Tomorrow we rescue Nairobi National Park.
President Maraga shall be available with the United Green Movement Party.
Here is the Programme:
1. Gather opposite Brookhouse School on Magadi Road (theme: wear green). Arrive 8.45am
2. 8.00am - start procession from gathering point towards Galleria Roundabout and right onto Magadi Road. We will meet oncoming traffic. Marshalls will help us manage things. We march in silence.
3. Directly opposite Bomas, on Langata Road, is the site of clearing in the park. Here, the procession will cross the road barrier and ditch (we've made arrangements to make this easy). On the road verge we shall conduct the "funeral" - speakers will speak, fonnap will issue a statement, and press can ask questions. If the situation permits, we might do a ceremonial tree planting.
4. If the situation permits we shall march on to the KWS Main Gate, again in silence. At the gate, we shall say a few words, deposit the coffins and then disperse slowly. If the situation does not permit, we shall disperse after the funeral.
If we start roughly on time (9am), we should be done ny 11am. Flexibility should be given for a late start.
Yesterday in Parliament, the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Aden Duale, failed to assure the country that the government’s decision‑making on the Ebola question is within the law and fully under control. The Constitution demands both legality and respect for court orders and public participation.
Listening to him, the message is clear, the court will have its say but the executive will enforce their way.
When a High Court has already issued conservatory orders suspending an Ebola‑related facility, any suggestion that the Executive can press on regardless converts being within the law into a slogan to justify disobedience. Constitutional obedience is not optional and it is not subject to administrative convenience.
Kenyans are entitled to clear, honest answers. Who authorised these arrangements, on what legal basis and with what safeguards for public health and sovereignty? Dismissing concerns as mere alarm while sidestepping these questions undermines public trust in both the Ministry of Health and Parliament’s oversight role.
The right to health under Article 43 must be read together with Articles 10, 94, 95 and 165 on constitutionalism, public participation and the authority of the courts. You cannot promote public health by eroding the very legal framework that protects Kenyans from arbitrary executive action.
Trump paused USAID when he came to power and said, “Africans should handle African problems.” I wonder why the US wants Kenya, an African country, to handle their Ebola problem.
