I've spent the better part of last night searching for a hospital that can accept a 28 wk premmie who needs mechanical ventilation. KUTRRH - full. KNH - full. Kijabe - full. Mama Lucy, Mbagathi, Kikuyu - no NICUs. I don't think we understand just how dire the situation is rn.

Kenya has more MCAs than Intensive Care Unit beds...

Kenya's government to spend Sh42 billion on new Bomas complex construction

Kenya lost over Sh288 billion to corruption and illicit financial flows in 2024 alone

1. Residents on Nairobi Dam need to be evacuated.. we have no money. 2. KNH cancer clinic on its knees… government has no money. 3. Teachers salaries need to be paid… there’s no money 4. Doctors salaries need to be paid… there’s no money. But let’s allocate 450m for fucking hospitality!! If this doesn’t upset you… I don’t know. 🤷🏽‍♀️

President William Ruto is set to spend Sh3 billion on 11 foreign trips over the next two months, exceeding the original Sh1.8 billion budget for the current financial year

Patrice Lumumba's grand-daughter told me that "for a long time we were told that the crimes that happened under colonial rule were untouchable but today this changes." After a court cleared the way for a trial over the killing of DRC's first PM. #FocusOnAfrica

Call it coincidence or fate, but we somehow did it!!! 🧑‍🚀🇰🇪🚀🌍🔴 Landing a Kenyan on Mars by 2024 theopinionpress.wordpress.com/2016/11/18/lan… via @TsarNjoroge Kenyan on Mars👇 youtu.be/8s-Gi4Zk0hU?si… @marssocietyke @LydiaMatata

Mr President you were silent when patients were starving and going without medication at Kenyatta National Hospital and remain mumb on the imminent collapse of MTRH in Eldoret. SHA just lost 11B. If it is about the people or dealing with conmen and fraudsters, where are your priorities? @KNH_hospital @MTRHofficial @WilliamsRuto

Cancer patients at KNH left without access to advanced radiotherapy after the facility's LINAC machine broke down due to a lack of spare parts. It has cut the KNH’s oncology capacity in half. But let’s focus on a private medical facility up the road shall we? #KNHlivesmatter.

Kenyans will repay the World Bank loan taken to fund the NYOTA project, according to CS for Cooperatives Wycliffe Oparanya.

Trail of destruction along Likoni lane, off Dennis Pritt road following last night’s heavy downpour

This is Dr. Joe Obwaka, an 83-year-old Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. He has taught generations of medical practitioners and continues to practice in both private and public hospitals. Early this morning, he was unlawfully arrested despite existing court orders granting anticipatory bail. Yes, a legal dispute exists within the Kenya Hospital Association (Nairobi Hospital), and the matter has not yet been determined by the court. The regime cannot weaponise law enforcement agencies for political mileage. #FreeDrObwaka

Multiple circulating reports indicate that Nairobi Hospital Vice Chairman Samson Kinyanjui, obstetrician Dr Job Obwaka, and former hospital chairman Dr Chris Bichage were arrested by detectives on Saturday over matters related to the running of the hospital. According to sources familiar with the matter, the three are reported to be held at Muthaiga and Pangani police stations pending plea taking, with claims that Kinyanjui was denied cash bail even after obtaining anticipatory bail orders from the court.

Dr. Chris Bichage is also a Board Member of Nairobi Hospital . He was allegedly abducted last night and DUMPED at Pangani. Dr. Obwoka suffered the same FATE this morning. Whoever wants to FORCEFULLY take over Nairobi Hospital is HELL BENT!

They started by abducting protestors, now they've come for professionals. A great lesson on why we should always fight for those in power to do the right thing by all and all times!
