Together with the @ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric, and with even greater urgency, I renew my call on States to establish specific prohibitions & restrictions on autonomous weapon systems.
We are now dangerously close to crossing a moral red line: the autonomous targeting of humans by machines.
Innovation must serve humanity – not endanger it.
@AJEnglish Naivasha town/residents lacks the access to clean water despite being within the lake proximity,...has to depend on paid bowsers/donkey carted supply ...terrible
Kenyans now need to earn Sh1.8 million per year per person to eliminate poverty, compared with the current Sh285,000.
At the current growth rate, it could take 103 years, from 2026 to 2129, to reach this level.
*The Ireland process for Kenyan nurses, written out plainly and all costs in Kenyan Shillings*.
First thing you’ll do is sit an English test. Most people do IELTS or OET because NMBI requires it. Budget about KES 33,000 with training just 8,000 with Ndugu 0705659476 for IELTS, and around KES 52,000 and training 8000ksh for OET. .

Once you have that, you apply to NMBI, that’s the Irish Nursing Board. This is the step that takes the longest, sometimes several months, so start early. You’ll send your passport, NCK license, a Certificate of Current Professional Status from NCK, your diploma or degree, transcripts, syllabus, and proof of at least one year of experience in the last five years. The qualification recognition fee to NMBI is about KES 52,000. You’ll also spend roughly KES 12,000 getting your CCPS and documents notarized or translated.
After NMBI looks at your file they’ll send a decision. Most Kenyan nurses are asked to do an adaptation period in an Irish hospital instead of a direct registration. To move forward you’ll pay the registration fee which is about KES 24,600. Once that’s done and you have a job offer, you can apply for your work permit. The permit itself costs about KES 149,000 and the employer usually files it through the EPOS system. It takes 4 to 8 weeks.
Because Kenya is a visa-required country, you’ll also need a Long Stay D Visa. That’s about KES 9,000 at the Irish embassy. You’ll apply with your work permit and job contract.
Then comes travel. A one-way flight from Nairobi to Dublin is usually between KES 90,000 and KES 130,000. When you land you should also have money to settle for the first two months, rent, food, transport, before your first salary comes in. Plan for about KES 120,000 to KES 180,000 for that.
If you add it all up, the compulsory fees alone come to roughly KES 291,500. With flight and settling money you should be looking at about KES 500,000 to KES 600,000 to get to Ireland comfortably.
After you’re working, NMBI charges an annual retention fee of about KES 14,900 every year to stay on the register.
The good part is the pay. A newly hired nurse in the HSE starts around €33,000 to €38,000 per year, which is about KES 4.9 million to KES 5.7 million gross per year. So most people recover the costs in the first few months.
That’s the whole path: English test, NMBI, job offer, work permit, visa, fly, do adaptation, then full registration.
