This is Tana River Delta Near Kipini in Tana River County, a fascinating natural process unfolds where the freshwater of the Tana River meets the salty waters of the Indian Ocean. At this point, the two don’t immediately mix. Freshwater is lighter and less dense, so it flows gently above the heavier seawater. This creates a distinct, shimmering boundary where the river appears to glide over the ocean. Over time, tides, waves and currents slowly blend the two, but the meeting point remains a dynamic and ever changing zone. The result is a beautiful, layered effect, one of nature’s most subtle yet captivating interactions. 📍 Kipini, Tana River County, Kenya.

⚠️ If you use Ngong–Suswa Road, read this. Around Gashagasha, criminals have turned part of the road into a trap. They scatter sharp objects on the road → you drive over and get a puncture → you’re forced to stop. That’s when they come for you and rob you. 3 victims already. If your tyre suddenly goes flat in that area, do NOT stop immediately. Drive to a safer, populated place. The star has also highlighted a similar case.

So there’s a healthcare bill in Parliament by Kimani Ichung’wah, currently at Second Reading And if you care about your taxes, you should be paying attention. In fact, I warned about this last week, that a lot of these bills in Parliament aren’t really about solving problems They’re about creating offices that the Executive can fill. Now look at this one 👇🏾 It proposes creating a new body called the Quality Healthcare & Patient Safety Authority. Its roles? - License hospitals - Accredit facilities - Inspect and audit - Enforce compliance - Handle complaints - Set national standards But, aren’t these roles already being done by KMPDC, PPB, even SHA, etc.? And the bill is NOT scrapping those existing bodies. This new authority will have duplicate roles to existing bodies. They are creating another layer, offices,s and another budget. Now, check the appointments side. The CEO and top officials? Appointed by the Health CS. And the CS? Appointed by the President. This is exactly what I was talking about. This is what parliament is doing now, Create a new authority → create positions → Executive then uses them to reward friends. And it’s all funded by our taxes. At the same time, we’re being told: “There’s no money.” “We need austerity.” But somehow there’s always money for: -new authorities -new boards -new tribunals Meanwhile: Hospitals are struggling Patients are fundraising Healthcare workers are overwhelmed I don’t know, Maybe I’m overthinking it. But it’s starting to look like these “reforms” are less about wananchi and more about expanding space for appointments. What do you think?

As I have always said, If you have a problem with menstrual blood, then just date a man. Women menstruate it is not news. And sometimes, mistakes will happen. If you think this little blood messes up your car, then wait till she has to push a baby out in the car while you are stuck in jam rushing to the hospital, you will see real blood. And if she had a heavy meal before labor begins, Number 2 will actually come out before the baby. So this is nothing lads. As long as you are straight and love women, then terms and conditions apply.😉 abakyala bazira.

Taraji P. Henson says that after the Oscars night in 2008—for which she had been nominated—had passed, her phone stopped ringing; there were no invitations for roles or anything, and then Tyler Perry called, offering her the lead role in the film ‘I Can Do Bad All by Myself’ “I remember when I got nominated for the Oscar, you know, the Oscar run is crazy. The phone is ringing. You got to be here. You got to be there. And then the day after the Oscars, the phone stops ringing. It's weird because it's like your nervous system is shocked because you're so used to going in and all of a sudden, nothing. And all the best invitations and all the things. Gone. No phone calls. You know who called me? This man right here [Tyler Perry]. For a leading role, not supporting. A leading role. People started asking me on my team, ‘why are you going to do a Tyler Perry movie?,’ No one called to offer me a number one position in the film. He did. And then told me what to ask for. Gave me a quote when I didn't have a quote. And so to this day, I don't care how big I get. I don't care how many awards I win. Whenever he calls, I'm there.” 🔗 instagram.com/reel/DWl5ivMjQ…

Explain this to me as if I am a kid

I worked 20 years for a child sex trafficking rescue group. I want you to know this: 90% of Lost Children Are Found Within 30 Minutes. That statistic should both comfort you and wake you up. Most lost children are found quickly. But the ones who aren’t? They usually made one mistake. And here’s the uncomfortable truth: It’s often the exact thing most parents teach them. We tell our kids: “If you get lost, come find me.” It sounds logical. It sounds empowering. It’s WRONG! The Mistake Most Lost Children Make: When children realize they’re separated, they do three things almost automatically: They panic. They wander. They try to find you. Every step makes them harder to locate. From a search standpoint, movement creates chaos. Parents retrace their steps. Security scans zones. Staff lock down areas. Search works best when movement stops. When a child keeps walking, they move outside the original search radius. Helpers are looking where they were last seen — not where they’ve wandered. Stillness increases probability. Movement expands the problem. The first lesson is not “go find me.” It’s this: Stop. Stay. Yell. Why Stillness Wins: Think like a search team. If a child stays put: Parents can retrace steps. Security can scan systematically. Helpers converge to one fixed location. The search radius remains small. If a child keeps moving: The search area expands. Adults pass each other. Missed connections multiply. Minutes stretch into hours. Stillness keeps the math on your side. Teach Them Who to Approach: The second mistake we make as parents? We say, “Find an adult.” Not any adult. Not the nearest stranger. Children need a filter. Teach them to look for, if at all possible: A mother with children. Caregivers who already have kids with them are statistically among the safest people to approach in public settings. They are visible, stationary, and more likely to engage quickly. It’s a clear, concrete instruction. Children don’t process vague categories like “safe adult.” They process visuals. “Find a mom with kids” is visual. A Phone Only Helps If the Number Is Known: We often assume phones solve everything. They don’t — unless your child can use one. Even young children can memorize a 10-digit phone number with repetition. But you must train it. Practice it like a song. Sing it in the car. Chant it at bedtime. Turn it into rhythm. Repetition becomes recall. In an emergency, recall matters more than theory. The Code Word Rule: One more layer of protection. Choose a private family code word. Something only your household knows. If someone approaches and says: “Your mom sent me.” Your child asks: “What’s the code word?” No word. No go. This simple rule eliminates manipulation attempts instantly. It gives your child agency without requiring them to evaluate character. Real Safety Is Training — Not Luck! We don’t get safer by hoping. We get safer by practicing. Teach: • Phone number • Code word • Stop, stay, yell • Find a mom with kids Multiple skills. Simple instructions. Clear visuals. Five minutes of training can replace hours of panic. This isn’t about fear. It’s about preparation. Because when a child gets separated, the clock starts. And what they do in the first minute determines what the next thirty look like. That’s real protection.

The safest way to travel is by plane. Do you know why? Because they crash. A few months ago, I learned a concept called Black Box Thinking which is a system that defines how entire industries respond to failure. In aviation, when a plane crashes, they don't just look for who to blame. They find a device called a Black Box, retrieve the data, and then ask what went wrong with the system. And there is a reason for this. To explain this, there is a famous story of a crash involving an Asian airline years ago. When investigators listened to the recording from the black box, they found the engine didn't just fail on its own, the junior pilot actually noticed a mistake. But because of a cultural hierarchy in Asia that demanded absolute respect for elders, he didn't question his senior pilot. Instead, he hinted and spoke softly and the plane crashed. That tragedy changed aviation safety forever. It moved the focus from "Who made the mistake?" to "Why did the system allow this mistake?" As we stand on the 29th of December, looking back at 2025, I want you to adopt this strategy of Black Box Thinking. Most of us look at our failures this year and feel shame. We hide the crash, and blame the economy, government, or something that does not exist. But Black Box thinking demands a harder question: "How did I contribute to this problem?" Did I stay silent when I should have spoken up? Did I rely on motivation instead of a system? Did I ignore the data because of my ego? Don't bury your failures of 2025. Open the box and analyze it. Because that is the only way to fly safer in 2026.

In Dholuo, we love saying “Ngima ema duong.” It means that the gift of life is greater than anything else. It implies that as long as there’s life, we can do anything. That as long as you’re alive, there’s room to try again. And again. Thinking about it always makes me smile.

I can see this post has gone international. One day I'll take time and talk about these things like the Willow Bark tree used to make aspirin, the Acacia specie used as contraceptive, actually it's still being used in Turkana counties and Egypt, Dawa ya wazee, Prunus africana, used as a Viagra within the Rift Valley,Solanum incanum, locally known as Senetwet or Sosiot, ile inawekwangwa kwa Mursik inakaa makaa and the East African sandalwood whose exploitation was banned in 2007 by President Kibaki. Sandalwood is useful from leaves to roots. It was used to treat ulcers and making perfumes. The famous aromatic heartwood. It's very very valuable ( See the post below). Apart from being an active citizen on matters governance, I am also a degree holder in Natural Resources Management that's why on my advocacy for good governance I have been extending to calling out the looting of mineral resources, environmental degradation,forest encroachment and water resources because these are topics I am well informed on.

People are dying slowly, quietly, deliberately. Wantam or Tutam William Ruto is killing all of them without mercy. Not because Kenya is poor. Not because money is missing. But because it is being withheld, redirected, weaponized. SHA owes KNH KSh 5.5 BILLION. Owes MTRH KSh 2.5 BILLION. Owes Mathare Hospital KSh 150 MILLION. KNH owes suppliers KSh 2.3 BILLION. Yet SHA collects at least KSh 6 BILLION every month from payslip holders people who sweat, struggle, and still believe deductions mean care. So where does the money go? Because it is not feeding patients. It is not paying suppliers. It is not buying medicine. It is not saving lives. @HonAdenDuale Last week, patients missed food. Not rumours. Not exaggeration. Patients in Kenya’s biggest public hospital went hungry because suppliers said enough. Imagine being sick, weak, scared and then starved by your own government. KNH collects KSh 40–60 million every single day, but that money is hijacked through eCitizen, locked away like stolen goods. The hospital can’t touch its own blood. Treasury refuses to remit funds for daily operations. This is not inefficiency. This is economic suffocation. And while patients starve, State House feasts. Food. Alcohol. Excess. Takeaways. No shortages there. No unpaid suppliers there. To those paid to chant kumi bila break . No politician will ever lie on a KNH bed. They rush to private hospitals. They fly to India to die clean. They give birth in America. KNH is reserved for the poor and under William Ruto, poverty is a death warrant. This is a government that treats healthcare like ATMs and patients like collateral damage. They loot @MOH_Kenya, then recycle the stolen money as handouts to the same sick and desperate people during campaigns. They starve hospitals today so they can “help” tomorrow. They kill quietly so they can bribe loudly. This is not failure. This is policy. Under @WilliamsRuto, healthcare is not broken it is being cannibalized. If you are poor, you are disposable. If you are sick, you are expendable. If you rely on public healthcare, you are already marked for neglect. Hospitals drowning in debt. Patients missing meals. Suppliers walking away. Billions flowing just not to care. This is not a government. This is a cartel wearing the national flag.

If Ruto hadn’t cancelled the highway tender in 2023, that road would be complete by now. He killed a KSh 160B project, forced Kenya to pay a KSh 7B penalty, then delayed it 3 years so he can resurrect it near 2027 as a campaign prop. Create the problem. Waste billions. Come back pretending to be the solution.
