After internship, if you're choosing between a county job, research or academia, go for the county job... Only choose the others if you're comfortable with uncertainty.

Since independence Kenya has never had a policy on human resources for health (HRH).

For the first time I have initiated the process of developing one to address the HRH challenges affecting our country both at the National and County level.

This will ensure we train the right cadre of healthcare workers in the right numbers to ensure proper skills mix.

Beyond medicines, brick and mortar, the President's UHC agenda acknowledges the central role that health workers play in keeping our country safe and healthy.

I hope that all the stakeholders especially the Unions will fully participate in this process.

This is the story of how I cleared a 10-year mortgage in 2 years

In the year 2000, I signed for my first mortgage KSh 2.7 million, repayable over ten years, with a monthly installment of about KSh 37,000. At the time, it felt significant but manageable. Like many young professionals, I believed the difficult part was getting approved. Once the bank said yes, I was ready to sit back and relax knowing that in 10 years i will be a home owner.

That is what traps most people.

When many people secure a mortgage, they celebrate the approval rather than confront the obligation. They upgrade furniture, expand their lifestyle, and slowly adjust their expenses until the monthly payment blends into routine existence. Ten years quietly becomes normal. The loan stops feeling temporary and starts feeling permanent.

I had a mentor who refused to let that happen. Stewart Henderson, who was serving as CEO of Old Mutual at the time told me something that permanently changed my understanding of debt: a mortgage is not a commitment it is an emergency.

Then he introduced a rule that, at the time, felt extreme. Every month I earned commissions, I had to bring my statement to him before spending any money. We would sit down together and allocate it.

The bank required KSh 37,000.
Stewart ignored that number.

Instead, he focused on capacity. Whenever income rose, payments rose. Whenever earnings improved, we attacked the loan. He called it 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, treating debt as something to eliminate quickly rather than manage comfortably.

The first few months were uncomfortable. The natural instinct after earning more money is to reward yourself. Income creates a feeling of entitlement to enjoy what you worked hard for. But discipline does not negotiate with feelings. Every additional shilling was assigned before it reached my pocket.

Something surprising happened. As my income grew, but my lifestyle did not.

Because expenses stayed controlled, every increase in earnings accelerated repayment. The balance started shrinking visibly not yearly, but monthly. What had been structured as a ten-year obligation began to feel temporary.

Two years later, I made the final payment.

Now here’s the surprise, after I serviced the mortgage to completion, my mentor did not congratulate late me. He simply told me to start looking for the next property.

Most people follow a familiar sequence: earn, spend, then save what remains. I learned to earn, allocate, then live on the balance. The house was not paid off by income alone; it was paid off by priority.

Over the years, advising many individuals, I have noticed a consistent pattern. Nearly everyone wants financial freedom eventually, but very few accept financial discipline immediately. The distance between the two is not measured in years it is measured in habits.

Your path does not have to begin with a mortgage. In fact, for many people the smarter starting point is elsewhere, structured savings & investments, or disciplined accumulation strategies that eventually position you for homeownership without pressure.

Not everyone in a chemist is a pharmacist.

The Pharmaceutical Society of Kenya has distanced itself from the individual who administered the wrong medicine to a patient that allegedly damaged the child's eye.

Now that everyone is an expert on curing pancreatic cancer in mice, not rats - I want to add some context that goes beyond the headline.
You will want to read this.

Cancer is cured in mice all the time.
Thousands of times. ~90% of those “cures” fail in humans.

Why?
Because mice are:
Genetically simpler.
Treated earlier.
Short-lived.
Not humans.

Mice are a filter - not a finish line.

Yes, this study matters. It comes from the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre.

Yes, it’s pancreatic cancer - one of the deadliest there is. Yes, full tumor regression is impressive.

But here’s what it actually means:
“This approach is now good enough to risk years, trials, and millions of euros on.”
Not:
“Cancer is solved.”

What happens next?
More animal work.
Toxicology.
Phase I (safety).
Phase II (maybe works).
Phase III (beats standard care?).

Maybe 8-10 years if everything goes right.

The real damage isn’t failed drugs.
It’s failed expectations.

Every “cured cancer in mice” headline trains the public to believe:
Cures are being hidden.
Progress should be fast.
Scientists are lying when reality hits.

That’s how trust erodes.

Bottom line:
This is how real cancer progress looks.
Messy. Slow. Risky. Incremental.

Not miracles.
Not conspiracies.
Just science - doing the hard work.
