@gacikiraMD Doc, read the Helsinki declaration.

Someone is a chain-smoker, and he's allergic to smoke.
@mbiti_mwondi I am confused. Are these the kinds of clients in your line of practice?

[Speech Pathologist (SLP) @OchwangiEd]

That's their problem. We respect their privacy the same way we respect decisions on which parent to stay with a sick child in the hospital.
We just attend to our roles as health care workers.

[Dr Gacikira 🕹️ @gacikiraMD]

Medics, What do you usually do when you test a patient & She is HIV positive and unwilling to disclose the status to their partner?

Yes. Political, but when Iran, Iraq, Morocco, and Somali people are subjected to the same, no problem.

🚨 BREAKING! 🤯

The Haiti National Team will have to change its uniform for the World Cup. 🇭🇹

FIFA has asked Saeta, the company responsible for the uniform's design, to alter it due to potential political messages. 👕

Haiti's jersey features a design of the Battle of Vertières from 1803. This battle was considered decisive for the country's independence following the conflict with France. ⚔️

Why is this video available in my region? @SkySportsNews
Is it because it's featuring a racially abused Somali referee?
Normalise availing all videos from today.

@aab26_ Wow! You need to consult a physician. Particularly a cardiologist.

So, those Kenya port authority newest employees got the job through relatives/sex for work/ and I know a friend and not academicqualifications💀. Waaah tutatoka block kweli?

How did the Kenyan authority access your uniforms? You are all criminals.

[UK in Kenya 🇬🇧🇰🇪 @UKinKenya]

☑️ FACT CHECK

No BATUK personnel policed protests in Nanyuki on 9 June.

The British military uniforms seen were misappropriated.

We have raised concerns with the Kenyan authorities.

[Speech Pathologist (SLP) @OchwangiEd]

It is a weakness in the office context but at the same time a strength in the social.
A strength in the sense that it displays the cultural diversity and our abilities to communicate even in sign language as much as we are not trained in it.

[BRAVIN YURI @BravinYuri]

One of the most fascinating contradictions of modern Kenya is that we have a generation that spent nearly two decades in classrooms, graduated from colleges and universities, yet struggles to communicate fluently in either the official language or the national language.

Many Kenyans cannot hold a conversation entirely in English from beginning to end without borrowing Kiswahili words. The same is true in reverse. We cannot sustain a conversation entirely in Kiswahili without reaching for English phrases to fill the gaps. We constantly switch between the two, not necessarily because we are being creative, but often because our vocabulary in each language is incomplete. An issue I squarely put on the lack of a reading culture.

What is even more interesting is that sometimes neither English nor Kiswahili is enough. We pause, search for the right words, fail to find them, and then resort to our mother tongues. We say the phrase exactly as we mean it in our native language and trust that the listener will understand the feeling, interpret the context, translate it mentally into their own language, and somehow arrive at the intended meaning. Surprisingly, communication still happens.

This raises an important question: what is the true purpose of language?

If language exists primarily to transfer meaning from one mind to another, then perhaps we are succeeding. The message gets across. People understand each other. Society continues to function. In that sense, language has done its job.

But there is another side to this conversation. I like to look at things from a different perspective.

Language is not merely a tool for communication. It is also a tool for thought. The richer your vocabulary, the more precisely you can express ideas, emotions, arguments, and experiences. When language becomes limited, thought can become limited too.

Sometimes we know exactly what we feel but cannot find the words to explain it. Sometimes we have an idea but lack the vocabulary to give it shape.

What makes our situation unique is that many of us exist between languages. We are not fully operating in English. We are not fully operating in Kiswahili. We are often disconnected from our mother tongues. We live somewhere in the middle, borrowing from all three whenever necessary.

Perhaps this is not entirely a weakness. It reflects the complexity of who we are as a people. We are multilingual, multicultural, and constantly adapting. Our conversations are a living blend of history, identity, education, and culture.

Yet it should make us reflect on the outcomes of our education system. After years of formal education, should fluency in at least one language not be a reasonable expectation? Should we not be producing graduates who can articulate their thoughts clearly, confidently, and precisely in English, Kiswahili, or their native languages?

The average Kenyan today speaks in a linguistic mosaic: a little English, a little Kiswahili, fragments of mother tongue, and plenty of context. Somehow, understanding emerges from the chaos.

Maybe that is our greatest strength. Or maybe it is a symptom of something deeper that we have never fully addressed.

Either way, it is a conversation worth having. I find myself asking so many questions but maybe one day we will find answers to some of these questions.

As you were.

[Speech Pathologist (SLP) @OchwangiEd]

What nonsense is this coming from a place we expect sensible people to exist?
People smoke bhang in the streets of Nairobi, Kiambu, and Juja without pressure. Even members of Parliament are doing it openly.
Legalise it. Let whoever smokes be.

[BRAVIN YURI @BravinYuri]

A Court in Meru has sentenced a couple to life imprisonment for selling bhang/marijuana with an estimate value of 3.1 million and on another account handed 5 year or pay a fine of 4.5 million. The law definitely protects the rich. Legalize Marijuana.

[Speech Pathologist (SLP) @OchwangiEd]

Very true, haha! There is a nurse who hated me, and the moment he was promoted to branch manager, he actualized his mass law need of initiating interdiction of me.
Soon after that, he was also kicked out. Today, I am told that he is a land broker. I wish him success.

[Dr Gacikira 🕹️ @gacikiraMD]

In your career, you will meet a co-worker who hates you for no reason. It is very important you keep showing up at your best, keep triggering them and their insecurities.

[Speech Pathologist (SLP) @OchwangiEd]

A man who has a wife of this kind struck gold in his marriage like Lee.
Having a woman who understands your vision, patient enough to go through the script, & correct it is a blessing.
It's a tragedy that the majority of us have competitors & snitches in the name of wives.

[Speech Pathologist (SLP) @OchwangiEd]

Kenyans, read the highlighted section on the left.
That's exactly what we have to do in 2027 elections if we want prosperity that we admire about Singapore. God doesn't vote, so don't listen to those psychopaths crying on the pulpit, bible in hand.
Use your heads&vote wisely.

[Speech Pathologist (SLP) @OchwangiEd]

You did the right thing, man. Don't ever regret calling out stupidity in the line of duty.

[Muli MD @Daktari_Muli]

Of hospital bullies, @gacikiraMD
There is this one consultant we beefed back in the day, kisa na maana we had an elective case (colostomy reversal), where he made me admit the patient, prepare him for the procedure for 2 freaking days. Mind you ni bowel preparation nafanya, I'm feeding my poor guy on oral fluids and coloprep 😫

On the theater day, my senior doesn't show up. He is busy with other duties. He tells me to cancel the case, discharge the patient to rebook the procedure the following week.

Now the beef came after I told him that he will have to be the one to give the patient that information. I stayed adamant until he did, he had to talk to the patient over my phone. Then I discharged the patient.
Nilijua tu hapo it would come back to bite my a—, but I was ready to take it.

[Speech Pathologist (SLP) @OchwangiEd]

Congratulations to him, to you, to the strangers who answered his questions, to your children, and all of us who can actually see work.
This is cute.

[Jessica ❤️✨ @Lexibexiio]

My husband just finished this wood job and he made me promise to share it because the people he showed it to ignored him or brushed it off. He's been working on it for three months. Hand carved, every single curve. I need you guys to see this because the people in his life mostly just... didn't respond when he showed them.

Here's the thing. Seven years. Seven years I watched the man I married disappear into depression so deep he couldn't get out of bed, lost his job, stopped really talking to our kids. His therapist finally said to find something to work with your hands. So he started. Some days all he did was sand one leg for an hour and call it enough. But he kept showing up to that garage.

He taught himself from videos and a few woodworking groups on the Tedooo app where people actually talked back, answered his questions, didn't make him feel dumb for asking. He bought a special wood finish from a crafter on Tedooo who ended up texting with him for two days about technique. A stranger. More generous than half the family.

Three months later, this is what came out of that garage. When he showed his brothers and old friends, they left him on read. Just nothing. So he asked me to post it here, because he said "maybe people who make things will understand what this actually is."

This bench isn't furniture. It's proof that a person can come back from somewhere very dark, one day at a time, one wood shaving at a time. And the man I married is finally, finally home.

They should explain 'data' and sources. Ha!

[Moe @moneyacademyKE]

KRA now warns that if you don’t file your tax return by June 30, it will file for you using its own data.

If the figures are wrong, you will have to explain and correct them.
