I am honoured that @prskkenya has started this series on celebrating #TopWomenInPR with me today. I am humbled...

What if the biggest opportunity in our food system is what we currently throw away? Through @TechnoServe’s #NutriSave + Six Square Ltd, aka @babamboga Greengrocers, lower-grade fruits & veg are now building a new food system. Partners are welcome. #Nutrisave #FoodSystems

I think we are letting down Wangari Maathai. Protect Karura forest.

Fall in love with your life. Wake up early, buy your favourite coffee, go for walks, eat good food, wear what makes you feel confident, and listen to your favourite music. Purposefully create these small moments that make you fall in love with your life. Happy New Month.

Mwabili Mwagodi's court arraignment, followed by uni.student David Oaga Mokaya’s full acquittal, shines a stronger spotlight on the misuse of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act and an international instrument, @Interpol Red Notice system, to stifle political expression irunguhoughton.org/post/how-cyber… or standardmedia.co.ke/houghton-irung… #StandardSettingKE

@Nyandia_G Get well soon!🙏🏾 And you have a great read to transport you to another world...

Day 3 in Hospital in the Company of Deborah Auko Tendo’s Rough Silk ❤️ Grateful.

Strange generation, can't sit longer with a thought, let it simmer and settle in their soul b4 response. Hot coal, uncomfortable to them mpaka, they throw it out as soon as it touches them. Sometimes life isn't about solving, feel it for what it is. Layer up human.

@KenyaPower_Care I am still waiting for my meter to be sorted. It's been over two weeks since I reported [20260204105519]

Kenya’s tennis ace Angella Okutoyi launches a crowdfunding initiative to support her career as she embarks on going professional this June once done with school in the US Her goal ➡️ Ksh. 10 million People, this is where we play like ourselves Link ➡️ mchanga.africa/fundraiser/121…

Angella Okutoyi, Kenya's best-ever female tennis player, is playing college tennis for Auburn University. This is her final year, and after graduating, she plans to join the WTA Tour as a professional. In January 2026, Angella Okutoyi shared an emotional public appeal on social media about her lack of sponsorship and financial struggles as she prepared to turn fully professional. Ministry of Sports Cabinet Secretary @Waziri_Mvurya @moyasa_ke responded directly: “I have received Angella Okutoyi’s appeal and spoken to Kenya Tennis Federation leadership. We will engage the Tennis Federation of Kenya to explore immediate support options and ensure she is well-prepared and financially supported.” The government lied, and now we must step up. @Okutoyiangella2 is the reigning African champion and the 2020 Wimbledon Junior Doubles winner. She deserves our support. mchanga.africa/fundraiser/121…

Glad that this is finally a national discussion. The debate about schools can be said of many CDF projects, and the playbook is largely the same.

Today I am angry, broken, and ashamed as a Kenyan. Let’s stop pretending. Appointing a camel farmer to run the Ministry of Health was not leadership it was rewarding loyalty at the altar of Kenyan lives. And now blood is on the floor. This is not politics. This is cruelty. Alice Mumbua is 71 years old. She fell sick in August 2025 and was admitted to Mega Life Hospital Ruai. ICU. Fighting for her life. September passed. October passed. The bill climbed to KSh 1.7 million. Her husband, John, did what men do when they love he sold his land in Kasarani, Njiru Ward. His shamba. His future. He paid KSh 1.1 million and begged the hospital to release his wife so they could agree on how to clear the balance. The hospital refused. In November, desperate and exhausted, he registered his wife under SHA, believing government healthcare meant something. The hospital laughed it off. “We don’t take SHA.” Then shifted goalposts: “SHA only covers some things. Pay first.” Then tragedy struck. December 7th, the man carrying this burden alone the breadwinner, the fighter, the husband of 50 years collapsed and died. Alice lost her husband while lying in a hospital bed she was being held hostage in. And it got worse. The hospital DENIED HER PERMISSION TO BURY HER HUSBAND. They told her plainly: No money, no freedom. Her husband’s funeral was delayed three weeks. He was buried without his wife of 50 years present. She spent Christmas detained like a criminal not because she committed a crime, but because she was poor. This is not healthcare. This is kidnapping with receipts. As of January 8, the bill has ballooned to KSh 2.8 million because the hospital happily charged her for every day they imprisoned her after killing her spirit. And where is the @MOH_Kenya ? @HonAdenDuale, where are you? Busy with politics? Busy defending incompetence? Busy lecturing Kenyans while hospitals turn patients into prisoners? Universal Health Care is not a slogan. It is not a press conference. It is not propaganda. When private hospitals openly sabotage SHA, detain patients, block burials, and extort grieving families that is a failure of the Ministry. This government has allowed profit-driven facilities to torture citizens, and the silence from MOH is loud. Alice Mumbua should be home mourning her husband. Instead, she is detained, traumatized, and punished for surviving. Kenyans of good will, this can be your mother tomorrow. If this does not outrage you, then we have truly lost our humanity. Free Alice Mumbua. Tame rogue hospitals. Hold the Ministry of Health accountable. Enough is enough.

Life is strange. You arrive with nothing, spend your whole life chasing everything, and still leave with nothing. Make sure your soul gains more than your hands.

Thank you MC🙏🏾

@FinanciallyInc @dorothyooko A wonderful human being, Dorothy is.

So I certainly don’t want to dissuade you from going after whatever you want. At the same time, I urge you to reflect on whether what you are going after is consistent with your nature. Whatever your nature is, there are many paths that will suit you, so don’t fixate on just one. Should a particular path close, all you have to do is find another good one consistent with what you’re like. #principleoftheday
