Its like you are running a countdown to our first Ebola case.

[Faith Odhiambo @FaithOdhiambo8]

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.

Anyway, it's that time of the year again.

What's have you achieved so far this year?

I need positive stories.

Nairobi landlords have money, but many seem to have little regard for good design. Sometimes it feels like the only goal is to finish construction as quickly as possible and start collecting rent.

You walk into a house and find a bedroom bigger than the sitting room, while the toilet takes up more space than the kitchen. The living room is so awkwardly shaped that arranging furniture becomes a puzzle. Strange corners, unnecessary edges, and layouts that make no practical sense. You might think it is a coffin.

A home is supposed to be functional before it is profitable. Yet some of these designs feel like nobody stopped to ask how an actual human being would live in the space.

At times, it genuinely feels as though some developers often just skip the architect entirely, pick up a random CBC class assignment, and turn it into a building plan.

The result is a location full of houses that cost a fortune to rent but somehow manage to waste every square metre available.

Children must be taught this truth early: parental authority has limits.

A parent can guide you, warn you, discipline you, advise you, and protect you within the home.

But the moment you break the law, you step into the hands of the state.

At that point, it is no longer just a family matter. It is no longer about your mother pleading, your father apologising, or your relatives begging people to understand.

Once the law is involved, the consequences become bigger than your parents.

We need to tell our children plainly that love will not erase criminal responsibility. Family will stand with you emotionally, but they cannot always save you legally.

When you choose crime, violence, theft, drugs, destruction, or any act that harms others, you may be forced to face the consequences alone.

This is not a threat. It is reality.
A parent’s protection ends where the law begins.

These cows have a better life than majority of Kenyans. Life has no balance. Indeed, it is not fair.

When cornered, this regime will point fingers at anyone and anything, including the wind; except itself.

Accountability remains its greatest blind spot.

Am hearing more Ebola news related to Kenya than Congo in international media yet the outbreak is in Congo. Yep, just because of that ebola facility in Laikipia, Kenya. Anyone might be forgiven for thinking the outbreak is actually in Kenya. Choices, consequences. Travel. ⚖️

[Conrad Kulo @ConradKulo]

That Ebola story does not just hold. ​If Uhuru signed a dangerous, unconstitutional deal, then cancel it and hold him to account.
You can’t claim he committed an illegality while simultaneously enforcing it for him.

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

When you start making good money, save it. Especially in the beginning. Save as much as you can. You'll desire things. New car, new watch, designer clothes to show the world you made it. And dumb philosophies will try to justify it. YOLO, life is short. Don't pay attention. Don't change anything. Save for a few years. And one day you'll notice, the urgency is gone. The anxiety... gone. You go to a restaurant, and you stop looking at the right side of the menu. You plan a holiday and you don't wait 3 weeks for cheap flights. Someone made you an offer that doesn't feel right, and you say no without thinking twice. That's what happens when you overcome instant gratification. It will give you peace to move at your own pace. A little patience, that's all you need. And it will give you something that no material object can ever match: a calm nervous system.

There is a saying in Togo: even in times of famine, you do not eat from just any trash.

I have been thinking about it since the Kenyan government agreed to build an Ebola treatment centre on its soil for American patients.There is truly no floor, no depth beneath which African leaders will not descend in their eagerness to demonstrate loyalty to foreign powers and collect whatever token of approval is offered in return.

[CNN Africa @CNNAfrica]

The move comes after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio vowed earlier this week that the US “cannot and will not allow any cases of Ebola to enter the United States,” prompting sharp opposition from Kenyan civil society which railed against an apparent double-standard, as Kenya has not recorded any Ebola cases.

“If it is too dangerous for America, it is too dangerous for Kenya,” they said. https://t.co/cq0ChK7V5r

[Krutika Kuppalli, MD FIDSA @KrutikaKuppalli]

Thanks to @CNN for the opportunity to discuss the U.S. plan to open an #Ebola quarantine, isolation, and treatment facility in #Kenya for Americans. I shared concerns about this approach and why exposed Americans should be repatriated and cared for within the specialized systems we’ve already built.

So if you do things because supposedly uhuru is your benchmark, why were you opposing him, you arachnids?
