The Unhealthy Medical Sector

We agree that the COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged many nations, and the countries are battling its effects. In Kenya, the first case was reported on March 13th, in a person who had traveled from the United Kingdom. Fast forward to December, the country's total recorded instances are at a record high, at slightly above 89, 000 according to the ministry of health. Globally there have been over 63M reported positive cases with over 1.4M patients succumbing to the disease. According to Dr. Nyaringi, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the Institute of Global Health and Infection, University of Liverpool, and a lecturer at the University of Nairobi's School of Public Health, local transmission accounts for 58%, whereas 42% is imported. From this, it is evident that most transmissions are occurring through what the medics term community transmission. The big question is, how can we stop the community transmission of this virus?

Despite the efforts put by the ministry of health, including the daily briefings by the MOH officials and the Cabinet Secretary, risk communication through the print media and radio, and the availability of toll-free numbers for reporting suspected COVID-19 cases, little progress has been seen. The famous statement by the Cabinet Secretary for health, "If we continue to behave normally, this disease shall treat us abnormally," has been "mesmerized," and the whole issue is taken for granted. The use of face masks is now a cat and mouse game where the people put them on to avoid being arrested, giving an implication that they are doing it for the health officials. People no longer adhere strictly to the set standards for social distancing. In some towns, hand washing zones are now a thing of the past, and worse off is that the public transport vehicles outside Nairobi are carrying excess passengers. Defying these basic rules set by the ministry of health is what is derailing our fight against COVID-19. Community transmission will not be suppressed unless we stick to the established guidelines. The sad thing in our nation as we speak is that the people who were working so hard to protect us from this disease are being affected the most. 


The number of doctors and other medical practitioners who have succumbed to the disease is increasing. These medics have gone for months without pay, with reports claiming that one doctor who succumbed yesterday had not been paid for five months and left his family with a substantial medical bill. These doctors also lack the personal protective equipment to protect them against this pandemic, as they are executing their mandate. As these things are happening, our political leaders are drumming support for the BBI document, and some of them are pushing for a referendum by June next year. Others are using it to gain political mileage by presenting themselves as the "holier than thou" group. This pandemic should be an eye-opener to all Kenyans, and we should stick together and ensure that we chose the right leaders to take our nation forward.

    It's a crying shame that instead of treasuring those putting themselves on the line for us, we are neglecting them.

What is Your Treasure?

 A few years ago when I was in college, we had a discussion with my friends on what mattered to each one of us. Someone was asked, in the event of a fire, people drowning, or even an Earthquake, and you happen to be with the whole of your family in that situation, who or what would you save? Say you had your parents, sisters, brothers, your laptop, money, gold, wife, and children, who or what will you save? I want to pose the same question to you. Who or what will you save? I know how tricky it is. I do understand because it wasn't easy for us too. Somehow some of us felt like we would save our parents, and in the order of priority mom the dad, whereas some claimed that they would save their children. But again, I love my wife. She is the mother of my children. If I save my children and let their mother drown or get burnt, how will my children view me? Were it not for my parents, I wouldn't be here, I also do love them. In all honesty, they would be the first ones to be saved. ...

Are You a Man Under 30 Years? Here are 9-Under-30-Years Commandments

9 Advices to a Man Under 30 Years  Growing up, I never had the privilege to get advice from a 30-year-old man on what awaited me when I hit the third floor. I guess growing up with a career dad did not do me all the good but he did his part by ensuring that we had a comfortable life. I therefore had to figure things out myself after getting to 30 years old. Here are my lessons that might also help you. 1. Until you have defined what life is, never commit to a woman. 2. Do not take long before you move out of your parents' house. Even as you do this, always be ready to go back when things do not work out, because at some point in life, you will need to rethink and restrategise. 3. If you have an income in your 20s, use that money to build yourself. If you are into land, buy as much as you can. I always tell my students, if at any point in life, you have the resources but do not know where to invest, just go and buy a piece of land.  4. Do not spend more than two years in a job ...
