Guess which one is getting more attention:

—Nairobi Hospital’s audit for FY 23/24 received an unqualified opinion, confirming that its financial statements were accurate & reliable.

—Kenyatta National Hospital’s audit report for FY 2023/24 was qualified, citing significant discrepancies including a KES 3M variance in cash and cash equivalents, unresolved financial issues such as unpaid trade payables totaling KES 738.7M, delays in key projects like the Medical Oxygen Generating Plant, and underreporting of patient revenues by KES 92.5M, all of which raise serious concerns about the accuracy and reliability of its financial statements.

Not everyone behind the counter is a Pharmacist. 🧑‍⚕️
Here are 3 facts to know before your next visit to the pharmacy in Kenya:
1️⃣ Clarity: A Pharmacist is a specific professional registered by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board. If you need expert advice, ask specifically for the Pharmacist.
2️⃣ Safety: We are your last line of defense. We catch dangerous drug interactions and dosage errors before they reach you. That 2-minute chat could save your life.
3️⃣ Trust: We hold a university degree and undergo rigorous training. We aren't just sellers; we are your partners in health. 🇰🇪
Know your Pharmacist. Trust your health.

Today we walked through Kenyatta National Hospital with my cousin Grace. Not for optics. Not for press. We walked the wards, labs, oncology the real KNH, not the one leaders talk about on TV.

Yes, one truth must be said: patients are eating. Meals are coming on time. Staff on the ground are trying. Their humanity is the only thing holding this place together.

But that’s where the good news ends.

Nairobi County hospitals are on a go-slow due to unpaid salaries, KNH has been turned into a dumping ground.

Patients are flooding in. The hospital is overwhelmed beyond dignity. I saw congestion so bad that sick people are sleeping on verandahs, corridors, even the floor. This is not a hospital it’s a survival camp.

And why are medics downing tools?
Because they are not paid.

And why are they not paid?
Because Governor Sakaja does not care.

During his impeachment, Sakaja was protected protected by a political conman, Raila Odinga, and a certified thief, William Ruto. They sat down, cut a deal, and killed the impeachment. From that day, @SakajaJohnson stopped working for Nairobians and started working to please State House. Nairobi is being sacrificed so that Rachel Ruto and her husband can sleep comfortably.

Raila Odinga helped save this drunkard of a governor, then never stepped into KNH to see the mess he helped preserve. Instead, he flew abroad for treatment where he died. That is the level of contempt they have for your lives.

Now the biggest insult of all Oncology at KNH.
A major cancer machine has been broken for several months. Months.
A hospital that makes KSh 50–80 million PER DAY cannot repair or replace a machine that cancer patients depend on to live.

Patients are now being pushed to private hospitals like The Nairobi Hospital, for “subsidised” care while time and hope run out.

Cancer does not wait.
Broken machines kill. Who will fix this machine?

The systems at KNH, including SHA, are failing forcing patients to wait for long periods.

Remember Your leaders don’t seek treatment at KNH.
They fly out. They go private. So they don’t care if you sleep on the floor, if your child waits for lab results, if a cancer machine stays broken for months.

@KNH_hospital is trying.
The workers are trying.
But leadership has failed completely and shamelessly.

Nairobi, this is on us.

UDA was a mistake.
A catastrophic one.
We are not going to repeat another mistake and that mistake is president William Ruto.

Hospitals are not places to punish the poor.

Healthcare is not a privilege for politicians and their families.

Let this be a warning:
Never again hand Nairobi to hustler lies, empty slogans, and leaders who don’t use the systems they destroy.

I love that Netizens are helping to share info on our new Persons With Disabilities Act, 2025 😍 a few more of its provisions for you to jot down:

Schools and learning institutions are now required to provide inclusive education, accessible learning materials, and reasonable accommodations for learners with disabilities.

Housing developers are required to include disability-friendly features in new residential and commercial buildings.

Media houses must provide sign language interpretation, closed captioning, or audio description to make broadcasts accessible.

Voting and civic participation are now more inclusive, with electoral bodies mandated to provide assistive devices and accessible polling stations.

Courts must now provide sign language interpreters, Braille materials, and physical access to ensure access to justice for persons with disabilities.

Inclusion in Kenya is no longer an option. #VIP

[Crystal Asige @CrystalAsige]

I have sat in rooms where no one saw me. I’ve spoken when no one bothered to listen. And still I kept going. Now my Persons with Disabilities Bill is an Act of Parliament!

Being there, when the President turned my ‘Bill’ into an Act by the stamp of his seal meant a lot — not because it was perfect, but because we finally made it happen. This is what it looks like when we refuse to be left behind. #VIP

State protection can be many things.
- Ensuring holistic provision for all vulnerable parties when families are in crisis (any crisis, not just parental seperation/divorce)
- ensuring care and support of children whether parents are together or not (for any reason)

I have yet to meet a woman whose life truly improved after marriage. She won’t say she’s unhappy, but you can see it in the way her light fades, the way she barely exists outside of work, housechores, and childcare, all of which she mostly shoulders alone.
