@WilliamsRuto How are you protecting mothers and children by bringing people exposed to Ebola to Kenya?

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

Don’t let the government hoodwink you. They absolutely owe you functioning systems, clean water, healthcare, security, housing, job opportunities, and basic human dignity. It is within their constitutional mandate; that is literally their core purpose and duty.

Being kenyan is so difficult. Somebody is always trying to kill you. 😭

Isn’t Utumishi literally located at or next to KDF barracks? Did the KDF respond? How fast were they? If they responded? How did they respond? What happened to the safety measures the government said they put in place after the endarasha fire?
If we let this one slide we are stupid people who do not deserve to procreate!

"Prayer Breakfast" to me is a ritual that is similar to devil worshipping. You can't mock God. I mean, do they pray to get energy to steal?

@jumuiya

The Right Initiative, Wrong Location: Ugand and not Kenya should Host the US Ebola Facility

Your announcement that Kenya is "ready" and "capable" to host an American-supported Ebola treatment facility demands a direct response. Being ready and being the right choice are two different things entirely. Setting up an Ebola treatment facility in East Africa is sensible and necessary. The principle is sound, establish medical infrastructure close to outbreak epicenters where it can save lives and contain spread.

Kenya fundamentally undermines this logic by volunteering to host a facility when the virus is not here and when it is ravaging Uganda and the DRC. Uganda Has the Expertise, Kenya Has the Gap. Uganda has managed multiple Ebola outbreaks over the past two decades, demonstrating proven capacity to contain and control the virus. The country has built institutional knowledge, trained personnel, and established protocols that work. Kenya, by contrast, has never recorded a single Ebola case.

This is not a matter of capability in the abstract. This is about relevant experience. An Ebola facility should be positioned where it strengthens existing response capacity and supports active containment efforts not in a country watching from the sidelines while neighboring nations face a public health crisis.
The Dangerous Contradiction in US Policy here lies the most glaring inconsistency in this arrangement: The United States has placed Uganda on a Level 4 Travel Advisory due to the current Ebola outbreak, effectively forbidding American citizens / tourists from entering the country yet the same logic that deems Uganda too dangerous for American tourists somehow deems Kenya safe enough to receive American patients with active Ebola infection. This is incoherent. If Uganda presents an unacceptable risk to American travelers, the risks to Kenyan medical staff, support personnel, and citizens cannot be dismissed as manageable. If Kenya is genuinely safe, why the restrictions on Uganda? One policy or the other must give but it appears both are in effect, creating an untenable situation.

Where the Need Is Greatest
Uganda & DRC faces active cases right now. Both Uganda & DRC need targeted support to halt spread and save lives. A facility positioned in Uganda or DRC would provide immediate care to those already infected strengthen local health infrastructure under pressure
Enable knowledge transfer to Ugandan medical teams
Demonstrate genuine partnership in crisis response, not burden-shifting to a neighboring country
The Democratic Republic of Congo faces the same urgent reality.

Kenya, facing no current outbreak, does not share this urgency. Resources directed to Kenya are resources diverted from where they are needed most at the epicenter of the outbreak.

The Economic Reality Kenya Cannot Ignore. There is another critical dimension to this decision: Kenya's tourism industry, valued at approximately $4 billion annually, cannot survive the collision between hosting an Ebola treatment facility and maintaining international travel confidence. Tourism and Ebola do not coexist. History demonstrates this clearly. The moment Kenya hosts an Ebola centre, regardless of the Ministry's assurances, travel advisories will follow. Insurance companies will raise premiums. Tour operators will divert bookings. The peak season ahead will be devastated. This is not speculation . It is economic reality. Nations housing disease outbreak facilities face immediate travel restrictions, cancelled bookings, and investor reluctance. Kenya cannot afford this collision, particularly as we head into our highest-revenue tourism months of June to October peak safari season. .......
