Dear Matt Lawton,
Nairobi won the 2029 bid! Say congratulations, stop whining with your entitled holier than thou attitude. If criminality was the key determinant as to who hosts what, London of the racist British colonial murderers and racist slave traders of peoples across the world should never host anything.
In 2029, instead of running away from your brutal British colonial ancestors, the peoples of the geography your ancestors decided to call Kenya will run to compete against other peoples of the world including British people.
In 2029, instead of sitting inside British slave trading ships as merchandice to be sold in the Americas, black Africans will sit together with peoples of the world cheering freely for whoever they will choose to support.
In 2029, instead of sitting in British built concentration camps as our ancestors did during the atrocious brutal British gulag in Kenya, our peoples will fill stadiums to welcome all peoples of the world.
In 2029, instead of queueing in a line waiting to be castrated by your British colonial ancestors, as they did upon Mau Mau warriors, Kenyans will queue together with all peoples of the world waiting to access beautiful stadiums built by Kenya through China's participation.
The historic Kasarani Stadium where the 4th All Africa Games were held was built with China's assistance and Talanta Stadium is currently under construction by a Chinese multinational, the China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC). Yes, that China where your colonial British ancestors took their opium trade and wars thereof.
Britain is yet to apologise to all societies it destroyed and peoples it murdered, followed by payment of reparations. Despite Britain's record of historical criminality against human rights, London already hosted IAAF World Athletics Championships in 2017. London even hosted the Olympics in 1908, 1948 while it was still brutally colonising millions of humans across the world and once during the postcolonial time in 2012.
Yet, you, a British subject of Your Her and His Majesty, are here whining endlessly complaining bitterly about and against Nairobi for this singular opportunity to host the 2029 event.
You say "its too soon to let Nairobi host event - Kenya should be focusing on restoring its integrity. The sport has missed out on a money-spinner in England."
I say to you Mr. Matt Lawton, 1908, 1948, 2012 and 2017 were too soon for London to host any event meant to be attended by humans from across the world. Britain should be focusing on restoring its integrity. The sport has finally come to the world renowned Home of The Champions!
A simple internet search reveals that about 15% of your British athletes have been involved in doping too. Do not attempt to place yourself(ves) and London on a higher pedestal regarding this horrible practice that taints the sport. To wish Nairobi away due to doping issues is to point four fingers at yourself(ves).
And, please, do not even get me started regarding your British troops conduct in Kenya during contemporary times.
Despite all this, in the very welcoming spirit of Kenya and Kenyans, and as confirmed by Kenyan-British anthropologists Louis and Mary Leakey as home to some of the first humans, and despite your holier than thou attitude, Mr. Matt Lawton, Karibu nyumbani, which is Kiswahili for welcome home. Welcome home to Kenya. Welcome to Nairobi in 2029! Mr. @Lawton_Times
But, before touchdown in Nairobi, please, read history and decolonize your mind. [π¬]. When you arrive, you will find an imperfect place and imperfect people, just as your imperfect London and its imperfect people. But, you will also find a beautiful people. They of the hatupangwingwi times.
We should not trade accusations. We should wish our imperfect selves the best. But whichever way, we shall be there to speak for us and all our Kenyan ancestors. Any time, any day and everywhere. Congratulations Nairobi! Congratulations Kenya! Thaai thathaiya Ngai thaai. βοΈ
Or maybe Dr Cheptinga Kipkurui should have been the main speaker at the Health Summit? He wrote:
TO ALL KENYANS
SUBJECT: UNDERSTANDING SHA & NESP - THE TRUTH, THE CHALLENGES, AND THE WAY FORWARD
FROM: Dr. Cheptinga K. Philip - Chief Nephrologist, MTRH & Lecturer, Moi University
DATE: 19TH AUGUST 2026
Wakenya Wenzangu,
Salama.
I write this not as a politician. I write as a doctor who treats your mothers, fathers, children and neighbors every day at MTRH. I have buried patients who died not of disease, but of delay.
Let us talk honestly, respectfully, and together. Because health is not about government or hospitals. It is about YOU.
PART 1: WHAT IS SHA AND WHAT IS NESP? LET US START WITH FACTS
1. SHA - Social Health Authority
This is the new health insurance for all Kenyans. It replaced NHIF in October 2024.
Goal: Universal Health Coverage - that no Kenyan should be denied treatment because of money.
As of Aug 2025: 25.2 Million Kenyans registered, now 32 million have registered.
SHA has paid KSh 56.4 Billion to hospitals.
2. NESP - National Equipment Service Program
Launched August 2025 by President William Ruto. A 7-year program.
Goal: Put modern machines in public hospitals without counties paying upfront.
How: Private companies called "Vendors" bring CT scans, MRI, Dialysis, Xray, theatre tables,Anaethesia machines, Cath lab, Lab machines. They install and maintain them.
Payment: SHA pays the vendor every time a patient uses the machine.
Progress: Sh7.3 Billion already spent. 213 hospitals in 43 counties have new equipment.
NESP is a good idea. SHA is a good idea. The intention is right.
PART 2: WHY ARE PUBLIC HOSPITALS STRUGGLING? THE 100% vs 5% vs 0% PROBLEM
This is where the pain is. Let me explain simply:
SCENARIO A: PRIVATE & FAITH-BASED HOSPITALS
They Serve : They Receive : Their Burden
20-30% of Kenyans : 100% of SHA payment They choose patients. No emergency mandate.
SCENARIO B: PUBLIC LEVEL 5-6 HOSPITALS - KNH, MTRH, COUNTY REFERRALS
They Serve : They Receive : Their Burden
70-80% of Kenyans + All emergencies + All referrals 5% after:
90% goes to NESP Vendors
5% goes to KEMSA drug debt
Public Hospitals Pay 100% of all costs: Electricity, Water, Food for patients, Fuel, Cleaning, Casual workers, Salaries, Medicine, and Service of the government machines, buy consumables,
Example with real numbers - Annexe 2
- CT Scan: SHA pays 6,900. Vendor gets 6,210. Hospital gets 690.
- Dialysis: SHA pays 10,650. Vendor (Yes, the private companies) gets 8,660. Hospital gets 1,990.
- MRI Service Contract: Costs 5 Million per year. Hospital gets 1,100 per scan.
Question: Can 690 pay electricity, radiographer, cleaning, and machine service? No.
PART 3: THE CAPITATION KILLER - "WE WORK FOR FREE"
For basic services like Xray, Ultrasound, Lab tests, OPD, SHA uses "Capitation".
How it works:
1. SHA pays a NESP Vendor 100% to provide Xray machines.
2. You come to Public Hospital with SHA card.
3. Hospital does the Xray, but gets 0 shillings.
4. But Hospital must still pay: Rent, security, Radiographer salary, electricity, room, cleaning.
We are paying 100% to provide a service we are paid 0% for. No business, no hospital, can survive like this.
That is why queues are long. That is why machines are off. That is why our computers, scanners, our ICT systems are slow.
That is why our oxygen supplies is eratic and costs lives. That is why our leaders, Senators, MPs shift the blame on poor services to Governors, Board and Management over poor services.
PART 4: FROM NHIF 36 BILLION TO SHA 5%
Under NHIF, public hospitals were owed over KSh 36 Billion, Payment was late, to public Hospitals, but at least the full amount was supposed to come.
Under SHA, payment is faster. But we only receive 5%. The rest goes away first to vendors and DHA, KEMSA.
So we moved from "dying of debt" to "dying of arithmetic".
PART 5: WHY ARE DRUGS AND DIALYSIS CONSUMABLES MISSING IN LEVEL 5-6?
Edwin Sifuna: You cannot spend 6-7 years studying medicine, and then you are given kazi ya mjengo, and then you are told kazi ni kazi. What we are looking for is impactful employment. I have told people the story of the job that I got in 2010 with one of the advertising companies. It transformed my life overnight. When I left formal employment and opened up my kiosk, there was a lot of business for young lawyers #CitizenExplainer
I have nothing against you as a human being, but I'm just pointing out that everything you've typed here is not your genuine opinion.
You're just earning your daily NGO bread.
It's literally your job to oppose every high-energy project in Africa.
im giggling i was watching this video of a japanese vip convoy and they change lanes in a formation like a flock of birds for no reason itβs so cute, why do they do that
