NIH has a total of 5 staff to work in the Kenyan Ebola unit

There's much to worry about in terms of physical safety, facility transmission, & sub-optimal care of US citizens.

US Public Health Service staff aren't trained to take care of Ebola patients

Why would a State Lodge require 100 acres of land carved out of Imenti Forest?

For context:

• State House Nakuru sits on about 5 acres.

• State Lodge Sagana sits on about 10 acres.

• State Lodge Mombasa sits on about 4 acres.

So why is a facility allegedly being planned on a piece of land many times larger than existing presidential residences?

Imenti Forest is not just another piece of real estate.

It is a cultural treasure for the Ameru people and a site deeply connected to Kenya's liberation struggle.

During the fight for independence, sections of this forest provided refuge to Mau Mau fighters who sacrificed everything for the freedoms we enjoy today.

When public land, especially protected forest land, is targeted for conversion, Kenyans have every right to ask hard questions.

A Kenyan police officer’s firearm reportedly malfunctioned during a burial salute for a colleague who had passed away, an incident that has sparked concern over the condition of police equipment and operational readiness.
The moment, which was captured on video, showed the officer struggling with the weapon during the ceremonial honour, raising questions about maintenance standards within the service.

She Held Citizenship and Passports from Nine (9) Different Countries.

​When the apartheid government officially revoked her South African citizenship and banned her records in 1960, they attempted to render her a stateless person without a home or a voice. The international community responded with a stunning act of solidarity. To ensure she could travel the world freely as an ambassador of liberation, nine different countries, including Guinea, Algeria, Ghana, Belgium, and Cuba, granted her honorary citizenship. She traveled internationally carrying multiple diplomatic passports, effectively operating as a citizen of the world.

You tax people to get money to build "affordable houses" .

It turns out you can't absorb all the money (because the assumptions behind the levy collided with reality on the ground ).

So you borrow the billions. And then you think of other ways to keep borrowing your own money to do other things instead of building houses. The policy failure plays out on the front pages.

You can talk with such bravado about caning children but you had nothing to say when the government decided to starve the kids in school with capitation of 90 bob.

Don't blame children for not accepting what you have accepted as the adults.

So, collapse your emotions, good or bad about the 2 presidents. This is a masterclass in strategic communications by Cyril Ramaphosa. He doesn't mention Ruto or his decision to bend to the USA on Ebola. He doesn't criticize the decision but instead, expertly demonstrates a better strategy deployed by RSA. He doesn't need to say "We are concerned that Kenya blah blah blah." But with Ruto standing right there he gives case studies of South Africa's pan African response to Ebola - financial investment, sharing expertise and must importantly, protecting those on African soil from the pandemic. The opposite of what Kenya is doing. And he highlighted this contrast emphatically by focusing on what RSA is doing. Nice example for a strategic comms lecturer to use. How do you expose a disagreement without saying "You are wrong and I disapprove of your methods." Nice.

Of course.
Once they were able to start these punitive deductions with no labour pushback, they were bound to do anything with it

Now we wait for justifications and lectures how Kenyans do not need to be consulted on such matters. Lol.
