Today, Hon. Lady Justice Nyaundi Patricia Mande, SC delivered one of the most consequential digital health judgments in Kenya’s history at the Milimani High Court, ordering the suspension of Rology Medical Kenya Ltd’s operations until duly registered and compliant with Kenyan medical, digital health and data protection laws.

The petition by officials of the Kenya Association of Radiologists challenged the teleradiology platform that served over 60,000 patients across more than 40 public health facilities while operating outside the established regulatory framework. Rology Medical Kenya Ltd is the local affiliate of Rology Inc, a foreign AI-assisted teleradiology platform headquartered in Egypt. The Petitioners contend it purports to offer radiology services in Kenya without the requisite regulatory approvals.

The Court held that KMPDC has a constitutional and statutory duty to register and regulate all providers of medical services, including digital platforms. It found the regulatory gap exposed patients to potential risks relating to healthcare quality, privacy, consumer protection and accountability. The Court affirmed that the Digital Health Act remains in force and digital health providers cannot rely on regulatory gaps to operate outside Kenyan law.

Essentially the court is saying that innovation is welcome - regulation is mandatory - being digital does not exempt a healthcare provider from licensing, professional oversight, patient consent requirements, data protection obligations, accountability or compliance with Kenyan law.

The implications extend far beyond one company. This judgment will likely influence the future regulation of telemedicine, teleradiology, telepathology, AI-assisted diagnostics, remote specialist consultations, cross-border healthcare services and digital health platforms.

The most important question is not whether technology should be used in healthcare, but who is accountable when patient care is affected.

This judgment does not appear to be a rejection of innovation. It is a powerful affirmation that innovation must operate within constitutional and statutory guardrails protecting patients, privacy, quality, transparency and professional accountability.

For hospitals, diagnostic centers including laboratories, healthcare providers, digital health startups, investors and regulators, the message is clear: conduct compliance reviews now. Kenya’s digital health future remains bright, but it must be built on trust, patient protection, accountability and the rule of law.

Microsoft is facing backlash after a leaked internal document reportedly included the phrase “Make people addicted” as part of a strategy for an AI assistant project.

According to the report, the document outlined plans to build habits around the product and increase daily reliance on it.

After the leak became public, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella pushed back, saying that making users addicted is “absolutely a non goal” and adding, “Not sure what this document is or who is writing and leaking this nonsense!”

The document reportedly identified its authors, adding to the backlash

The National Child Helpline 116 is a toll-free, 24-hour service that enables members of the public to report child protection concerns and access timely assistance. As part of efforts to expand and scale up the service, the Principal Secretary for Children Services, @CarrenAgengo, convened a high-level roundtable bringing together key child protection partners and stakeholders.

Addressing the forum, the Principal Secretary noted that the helpline currently receives an average of 1,200 calls daily through its Nairobi and Eldoret call centres. She further observed that stress and depression remain the most reported concerns among children, underscoring the growing need for mental health and psychosocial support services.

Emphasizing the importance of timely intervention, she reminded participants that, “Every missed opportunity to respond is a missed opportunity to help a child.” She also noted that trained counsellors are available through the helpline to provide guidance, psychosocial support, and referrals where necessary.

The meeting brought together Childline Kenya, the lead partner supporting the roundtable, alongside UNICEF, Save the Children, World Vision, the International Rescue Committee, senior officers from the State Department for Children Services, and other stakeholders committed to safeguarding the rights, wellbeing, and dignity of every child.

I don't have the guts to watch the Utumishi CCTV. Just the narration is making me sick in the stomach.

There are two explanations I'm not accepting for that kind of horror. 1) parents have dropped the ball, 2) it's demonic.

It's not that I don't think that those explanations are true. They are, to a certain extent. But leaving it there is very dangerous and leaves the door open to more arson. For example, I wonder: did the girls not play it ahead and think their schoolmates could die? If they did, why did they go ahead anyway? If not, what were they thinking? Were there those who were coerced?

This isn't about theory. It's about how to stop the same ideas growing in other kids. I hope at the very least we get to hear the thought process that led to here. Even if the devil is the main character, we need to know.

And I fear also about the impunity. I hear that the girl who set off the Nairobi girls one in 2017 had her name changed. I read that the Kyanguli culprits never faced prison time. I have heard stories from board members and teachers who, when faced with discipline cases, it's the parents who are so belligerent, refuse to listen to the school and head to court, or head to a PS or someone high up in the Ministry, who then calls the school and orders them to readmit the student.

We need a coherent conversation about justice when it comes to crimes committed by minors. And while I do understand that schools can be unfair as well, there's something to be said about our automatic posture to go on the defense about our children when it would be helpful to discuss our children with the village. I think there's a complete breakdown of communication and goodwill all round, and all of us adults need to take some responsibility for it.

There's a way we Kenyan adults have lost the ability to play the tape to the end before taking action when it comes to our kids. If our kids see us attacking school administrations on their behalf, or paying for exam leakage, how are they to take responsibility seriously?

We need to accept that we've all lost the plot to some extent. Because our kids are using fire in school like American kids use guns.

A Namibian teenager named Simon Petrus has stunned many with his remarkable invention: a mobile phone that can make calls without a SIM card, airtime, or traditional network coverage.

Using recycled materials, including parts from an old landline phone, a television, and a two-way radio, Petrus built a device that operates on radio frequency technology. It connects directly with other compatible radios using shortwave frequencies, completely bypassing conventional cellular networks.

But that’s not all. His multifunctional gadget also works as a television, FM radio, cooling fan, and phone charger.

Born out of necessity in a region with limited mobile coverage, in 2016 Petrus developed the prototype while still a student. His innovative creation has earned national recognition in Namibia and sparked widespread admiration for its potential to provide affordable communication in remote and underserved areas across Africa.

A powerful example of ingenuity and resourcefulness turning challenges into solutions.
