Three days ago, a 73-year-old man committed suicide in Mrughuwa, due to neglect by his family. Yesterday, a 21-year-old young man also died by suicide in Saghaighu. Such cases are rising sharply in Taita Taveta, raising serious concerns about mental health & family support

If your dad is still alive, call mzee frequently and occasionally send him some money randomly. Men go through a lot, yet we are often neglected and this push many into depression. Put a smile to that mzee bwanaa.

THE MAN WHO INSPECTED A PRESIDENT
Julius Mwandawiro Mghanga arrived in November 1959, somewhere in Werugha, Taita-Taveta. They say that his childhood resume included climbing the Taita Hills barefoot, tilling soil and avoiding hyenas but destiny interrupted that peace.

Starehe Boys’ Centre polished him, and unleashed him back into the world. By the time he walked into the University of Nairobi in the late 1970s, the young man had already developed an intolerance for nonsense, particularly by authoritarian governments. He joined SONU politics in 1983 and, in the spirit of Kenyan mathematics he succeeded Titus Adungosi who was himself succeeding prison walls.

From the moment he inhaled student politics, Mwandawiro declared war on anything wearing a government badge.He rejected them tribal groupings and dismantled Divide-and-rule tactics. He demanded university autonomy at a time when demanding anything could earn you three meals a day in a basement cell at Nyayo House.

And to prove that courage is sometimes just stupidity with good PR, he did not stop.Imagine Kenya in 1985 where even your shadow needed police https://t.co/661b1EXR3g imagine a student leader deciding to mock President Daniel Toroitich arap Moi live at a National Youth Service parade on university grounds.

That day was February 10, 1985. He made an extreme commitment to suffering.Earlier that week, he and fellow student leaders had been expelled. Instead of leaving, they barricaded themselves inside campus like revolutionaries with no escape plan. Students boycotted classes for a full week.

Then came the fateful parade. Moi was expected to inspect the guard of honor mounted by the Army, Navy, Air Force, and GSU. Students hated the mandatory NYS training viewing it as state-sponsored character https://t.co/3fNRW0OZyq Mwandawiro did what no human with survival instincts would do.

He walked onto the field, straightened his shoulders And he began INSPECTING the NYS guard of honor himself before Moi could reach them.For a full 20 steps, the nation witnessed a man inspecting soldiers who were supposed to be inspected by the Commander-in-Chief. It was the closest thing we ever saw to a coup conducted with raw confidence and zero weapons.

GSU and Special Branch officers materialized from the air, they grabbed him, folded him like a bed sheet, and vanished him. Chaos followed. One student, Joseph Wandera, died; dozens were injured. His arrest was followed by a legal session....... prosecuting under Attorney General Matthew Guy Muli, charged him with sedition for “holding an illegal meeting”. In bukusu “breathing loudly in the direction of power.”

He was sentenced to one year in Kamiti.
But the state was not finished.On April 3, 1986, the intelligence services stormed Werugha and seized him again, this time accusing him of Mwakenya links. They took him to the basement suites of Nyayo House where patriotism was beaten into him using blunt objects.

His menu included, forced naked press-ups,waterlogged cells,sleep deprivation, psychological terror and enough beatings.He refused to confess. They jailed him again five years in Kamiti and Kibos.When Kenya finally spat him out alive, he escaped to Sweden. There, he rebuilt himself.Master’s degree from Stockholm University,another MSc from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and permanent residency in the international fraternity of men who survived Nyayo House without losing their sanity.

When the KANU regime collapsed under the weight of its own contradictions, he returned to Kenya. In 2002, he clinched the Wundanyi parliamentary seat on a Ford-People ticket shocking analysts.1/2

Today at around 6:15 p.m. we experienced a tremor in Voi. We could clearly feel and hear the shaking while inside the house and it was so frightening that we had to rush outside.

Four of Kenya's eight Ebola cases worked in the Nairobi hospital that treated Patient Zero, including a patient attendant who cleaned linens. Containment is working, but protection has to cover every worker in the building, not just clinicians.

Also, keep in mind:
All new cases were already in quarantine. No community transmission reported. Contact tracing appears to be working. The strain is Bundibugyo which has no approved vaccine, so infection control is the main tool.
Cleaners, laundry staff and attendants face real exposure. They need the same equipment and training as medics. If you have fever, tiredness, muscle pain, vomiting and diarrhoea, call authorities at once.

Taita we say "mwana wa mwai wadadukwa mghongo ela mwana wa mdawana wadadukwa naimbiri"
A daughter’s child is carried on the back because their bloodline is certain and protected from harm if she falls, while a son’s child is carried in front because paternity is never guaranteed

[8] For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
