Yesterday's Students and staff of Kapketii Comprehensive School were moved from the old classrooms to the new state of the art mordenized school built by CS Chirchir, his brothers and friends as a way of giving back to the community. This is a public primary school. Classic.

[Gov. Anyang' Nyong'o @AnyangNyongo]

Fifteen years ago, I sat in a doctor's office and heard words that would change the trajectory of my life: prostate cancer. It is a moment that strips you bare. It confronts you with your own fragility, with the terrifying silence of mortality.

In that darkness, however, something remarkable happened. Mama Kisumu, Dorothy Nyong'o, and I made a solemn vow not only to survive, but to ensure that no Kenyan, regardless of the weight of their purse or the emptiness of their pockets, would have to walk the cancer journey alone, abandoned and without hope.That vow became the Africa Cancer Foundation.

Today, under the weight of memory and the warmth of gratitude, we gathered to mark our 15th Anniversary under a theme that speaks to the very core of our humanity: "Own Your Cancer Story." We were honoured to be joined by Dr. Gladwell Kiarie as Chief Guest, alongside the dedicated Board and staff who have carried this torch through storm and sunshine, friends, relatives, survivors, donors, partners and supporters.

I was reminded with tears in my eyes, of why we began this journey. Our mission is not abstract. It is flesh and blood. It is the mother in Kilifi who cannot afford chemotherapy. It is the young man in Kibra who fears the diagnosis more than the disease itself. It is to restore hope, uphold dignity, and provide quality cancer care to every single one of them.

Over these fifteen years, standing shoulder to shoulder with our partners who believe in the impossible, we have done what many said could not be done. We have advanced policies that once seemed beyond reach. We have expanded screening and awareness to villages where cancer was once spoken about only in whispers. We have proven, with the stubborn persistence of those who have looked death in the eye, that advocacy transforms systems, while service changes lives.

Our commitment burns as fiercely today as it did in that doctor's office fifteen years ago. In Kisumu, we are strengthening the very foundation of cancer care through the soon to be realised Chun Jeong Un Nyong'o Cancer Centre. We fully support the establishment of Kenya's first public bone marrow transplant programme at JOOTRH, a beacon of hope for countless families who have long been told to look elsewhere, or to simply give up. And we are embracing innovations that will bring early detection within reach of every Kenyan, not just the privileged few.

Today, we also launched the Africa Cancer Foundation's Mobile Clinic, bringing life-saving cancer screening closer to communities through outreach in markets and other public spaces.

As we celebrate this milestone, I do so not with the triumph of conquest, but with the quiet resolve of one who knows the battle is far from over. We renew our solemn commitment to building a future where cancer is detected early, more lives are saved, and where every Kenyan can face this journey with the dignity, hope, and the support they deserve.

This is not just my story. It is our story, and I urge every one of you to own it. Own your story!

@Ndonglaw043 @tanukeeey We're in times where silence emboldens impunity, truth‑tellers are the last line of defense. Concise yet fearless, you expose actors whose retrogressive behaviours do not merely resist change - they erode accountability, stall justice, and drag society backwards. Keep speaking up

[Ndong@Conslaw @Ndonglaw043]

No one cares of Literary Skills of Justice Kiage if they are used to BLEED THE CONSTITUTION, the Safaricom shares Ruling is an Executive Decision. The Judge President & the entire court must self reflect on the cossy relationship with the Executive, the Attorney General & the state organs. We cannot have a court discriminating litigants based on whether you have ever seen Sheria House or not. Rule 5(2)(b) applications being fastracked & heard in two weeks in some demonic speed to always satisfy the AG on giving them whatever they want. Ordinary litigants will wait for their Rule 5(2)(b) applications, some even 8 months. The Court of Appeal should tell us if they are back to be the Nyayo Court. We cannot have a court where a few benches are very arrogant to litigants, but Extremely excited when the state is before it. All their applications are Certified Urgent, heard in Full at submissions & not the common 5 minutes they grant to ordinary litigants even in weighty matters. If we do not Act, very soon we will end up with an ogre in the Name of the Court of Appeal. Litigants even fear the Court than the Supreme Court!
Ye Deathbed of Progressive Jurisprudence emanating from our Constitution, reflect and change otherwise we will say these things. We defend the Judiciary any day, because of the 3 Arms, it is the only one with some signs of life, we shall criticise it when it veers, for the same reasons.

As the saying goes, employees tend to rise to their level of incompetence. Bitok and his boss appear to have reached that stage, where additional tenure subtracts value.

[Dr Mirr @tanukeeey]

Historically, the rich paid private guards to protect their wealth and interests.

Eventually, they figured out something better: make the public fund the police instead.

The uniforms changed, the funding changed, but the mission stayed the same.
