Teachers should know that their work is to teach. It doesn't matter if you think that a student is faking sickness, when they tell you they are unwell, call their caregiver to take instructions on which hospital to take the child to or whether to wait for the parent.
Chaos at Muthurwa Girls Principal's Office as parent confronts the principal of Muthurwa Girls after being denied permission to pick her daughter who has been sick in school for the last three weeks. The school nurse has been administering the student with panadol while her situation continues deteriorate

Well not a clown but more of a puppet. His sponsors will have their tentacles all around him he won't have room to govern. And this is not just about him; the way the state is structured, it will take a massive cultural shift from us to attain any meaningful change. @SDMaundu
If Sifuna wins, ppl who now oppose him will give him a chance since we know very well he's been given a task he can't handle. His supporters will turn on him the first Tuesday after election. They think they're getting a Messiah, we know they're getting a clown

Our problem has never been the law or the state or the politics. Our problem has been our subconscious hypocrisy. Neither the state nor neoliberalism nor rentierism makes spouses cheat on one another or preachers seduce their flock into sexcapades. We do it all on our own.

I've had the privilege of representing a few private members' clubs, I've not come across any with a paltry 60K subscription fee.
1. In all of them, membership was by INVITATION ONLY.
2. There's a joining fee usually from 250K to 1M.
3. There's either an annual or monthly fee.

This is Kibaki's fault. He pushed for FPE which focused on enrollment numbers and not quality. This led to people who couldn't even write their names yet they are done with KPCE. He returned us to colonial education of learning how to read and write the way missionaries envisaged

High ceilings weren't a luxury flex.
They were air conditioning.
Hot air rises.
Tall rooms gave it room to go, so people stayed cooler below.
Old architects didn't choose between beauty and function. They did both.

A properly brought up person knows to stand when greeting anyone outside their inner circle: you rise to welcome guests, greet newcomers, show respect to authority figures, and acknowledge professional contacts.

These are the questions I expect Parliament to ask.
1. How did screening fail at JKIA?
2. Why did the family not inform the authorities?
3. How can we improve our processes?
4. Funding for KEMRI’s Centre for Virus Research (CVR).
I was an ebola responder in Sierra Leone in 2014.
These are my thoughts regarding today's ministry of health announcement.
First, the announcement should be treated with utmost seriousness, and the government should assess thoroughly, contacts, community level risk etc.
(I wrote something about community level risk on this shared post below).
Still I have a few questions
First of all, a single case of ebola in a country is regarded as a disease outbreak of national importance. Why hasn't WHO issued any statement on this outbreak.
Two, when did the doctor at Nairobi Hospital order for a haemorrhagic disease test and when did the diagnosis come through. When did the government know that the patient had Ebola, and why were they not removed from Nairobi Hospital and sent to the isolation centre as the protocol would require. The response for outbreaks like ebola is a public health response and only the government has the responsibility to isolate and treat.
Three, Are there no screening facilities at the airport? The government is talking about preparedness, why was this not caught at the point of entry. A patient travelling from an Ebola zone and arrives with fevers, chills etc ...what are the port of entry protocols. I remember my entry in 2014 October from Sierra Leone, perfectly healthy, the entry process was so rigorous which ended with the MoH isolating me for 21 days. Why was this not picked up? What is this animal that the government calls preparedness if they failed to catch this at the point of entry.
Kenyans, take this matter with utmost seriousness. Our public health system has never dealt with anything like ebola.
Trust me on this one. If we have had community level infection out of this.... We are in for tough times. The chain works like this.
Infected Patient is in hospital.
2 to 3 Nurses take care of him, a cleaner and kitchen porter every single day.
The 5 people travel home in a matatu, everyone is exposed.
They get home three of them have kids and family ( exposure increases)
Kids play with other kids ( more contact) and they go to school ( further contact).
Those hospital workers go back to work the next day, public. Transport exposure, interact and share facilities with other staff, before end of day two...the chain reaction of contact persons is significant....
And there is always the gap between patient admission in hospital, first responders, before the doctor comes in to see the patient, order for tests, etc.... normally, the risk is here because normal IPC procedures are used, and these are nowhere near what is needed to respond to Ebola.
No kubaya.
Also on another note tusisahau 2 weeks ago G20 mobilised close to USD 3 billion to respond to Ebola. With all the seriousness it deserves, I still smell sharp boys.

That is why there exists a department of public works. Also, while DoD may appear to be efficient, they tend to have budgets for their projects approved and released in record time unlike other departments which have to contend with non-payment of contractors and smaller budgets.
Done in 3 Months. The Military are overworking. Should we give them the mandate to supervise all government projects?

The Ebola case is real. Can confirm. No conspiracy, no hoax.
But how did a patient this sick manage to board a flight?
We normally undertake medical clearance and paperwork for seriously ill passengers. Was this done in this case?

It took Safaricom six years to implement this despite COVID pushing people to go cashless with Mpesa being the dominant force. I know the app provides for this but the bulk of mobile users don't have smartphones therefore rely on SMS.
