ARAMCO, the biggest oil company in the world, has shut down its Ras Tanura facility, which produces 550K barrels of oil/day. Qatar Energy has stopped production. The Strait of Hormuz, where 30% of global oil passes, is still blocked. Tough times ahead. Fill up your tank today.
The Kenya Ports Authority today led a multi-agency team in a major oil spill response drill. The exercise took place at the Port of Mombasa, reaffirming the authority’s commitment to upholding maritime safety and environmental protection within the port.
The exercise spanning the entire day demonstrated the Authority’s operational readiness, and capability to manage emergencies resulting from marine pollution control, with seamless coordination with other multi-agency teams.
Speaking before the exercise, the Harbor master and general manager marine operations, Capt. Patrick Ondenyi, representing the Managing Director, Capt. William Ruto, emphasized significance of the exercise to the port community, noting that oil spill management requires multi-faceted approach because of its complex in nature.
“Today’s initiative strengthens confidence among shipping lines, oil terminal operators, and the wider business community, while protecting livelihoods tied to the blue economy and reinforcing port’s position as a trusted maritime hub,” he remarked.
The drill was conducted at the Kipevu Oil Terminal with key participation of the other government agencies and stakeholders, notably the Kenya Maritime Authority, Kenya Navy, Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), and other partners. It was coordinated under the Oil Spill Mutual Assistance Group (OSMAG), a renowned consortium of oil terminals, shipping lines, and regulators that pools resources for joint pollution response.
During the exercise, KPA deployed tugboats and pilot boats, critical assets that enhance Kenya’s marine pollution response capability. These drills play a crucial role in fulfilling Kenya's obligations under MARPOL, activating the National Oil Spill Contingency Plan, and safeguarding sensitive coastal ecosystems.
Fellow Kenyans, open your eyes.
Stop waiting for the media to tell you the truth they sold that privilege years ago.
Today, every major station is an auction floor.
Citizen, KTN, NTV they air what the highest bidder wants.
Silence is bought. Headlines are bought. Reality is buried.
While cameras chase staged events and political PR, your public hospitals are collapsing in real time.
Mbagathi is turning patients away.
Mama Lucy is barely functioning.
Workers are on go-slow because the county hasn’t paid them.
Ambulances are parked. Wards are understaffed. Patients are stranded.
But turn on the 1PM 7PM 9pm news… nothing.
Doctors and nurses are drowning in unpaid bills but expected to treat patients with a smile.
How do they serve when they can’t afford to survive?
How do they save lives when the system they work for is suffocating them?
And when universal healthcare workers were forced into one bank and quietly deducted 40 shillings each over a million people the media didn’t ask a single question.
Because you can’t ask questions when your microphone is owned.
Our leaders?
MCAs, MPs, Senators, Women Reps not one of them is shouting about unpaid medical workers.
Apparently their relatives don’t fall sick in public hospitals.
Apparently their children don’t queue at KNH at dawn.
Apparently pain is only for the poor.
Sakaja is presiding over a healthcare breakdown while hiding behind political shields.
The government defends him because collapse is easier to cover than accountability.
And listen carefully people:
The government can gamble with everything else, but not health.
Health is life and death.
Health is dignity.
Health is the one area where lies cannot treat wounds or cure disease.
Ruto will fly out for treatment.
Kihika will deliver in foreign hospitals.
The political class will escape the mess they created.
But you the ordinary kenyan are left to fight for a bed at KNH.
And the media?
Silent.
Paid.
Busy.
Owned.
That silence is not accidental.
It is deliberate.
It is deadly.
Now here is the real question:
How long will you let silence rule your life?
How long will you suffer and then reward the same people at the ballot?
Elections are not about noise, rallies, or hashtags.
Elections are the one day when the oppressed speak louder than the rich.
One day where your suffering becomes your weapon.
So mark this clearly:
On voting day, don’t complain act.
Don’t whisper decide.
Don’t say “they’re all the same” choose the one who will fight for your hospital, your medicine, your life.
Because if you let these people back in,
if you give them another five years,
you are signing your own discharge sheet from the very system that is supposed to save you.
This time, Kenya must vote like it has learned its lesson.
For health.
For education.
For transport.
For dignity.
For truth.
For survival.
