Passing on of APHRC's Dr. Eshetu Girma Kidane
We join today's launch of four key policy documents by the Department of Medical Services, Public Health and Sanitation, Kajiado County: 📄 Kajiado Food and Nutrition Policy 2024 📄 Kajiado Childcare Policy 2024 📄 Kajiado County Nutrition Action Plan 2024/2029 📄 Kajiado Childcare Facility Act 2024 These policies mark a strong step forward in enhancing child nutrition, care, and community health. We welcome this commitment to tackling malnutrition and promoting early childhood well-being. 🗣 Addressing malnutrition is not only a health imperative—it’s a strategic investment in long-term development and prosperity. #IStand4Children
The catholic church runs churches and schools in hardship areas. CITAM runs churches like a supermarket after carrying out research on income levels and affluence Income from Eastlands was -3% YoY
Citam is a business entity not a place of spiritual ascendance and conscious awakening. They made KSh2.4billion in 2024. Citam Valley Road made Kes404 Million alone. That should tell you everything.
African governments have barely addressed how they plan to cover the huge gap in healthcare left by USAID suspension. Is it the aid dependency hangover or they simply don't care? Follow this interesting conversation on our recent episode on @unfiltered_gh youtu.be/us86Y3HNToQ?si…

The present trials and tribulations of Dr. @kizzabesigye1 must not be seen as an attack on him alone but an attack on all of us. He is being detained illegally. He is being persecuted. He is sick. He needs urgent medical attention. He has served this country and fought for all of us. NO BODY should trivialise this dire situation. This is not a time to politik. It is a time to unite and face the monster- Gen. Museveni and his brutal son. They clearly want to kill Dr. Besigye, as they have killed many in the past. Dictators world over and throughout history believe in testing the ground. They kill one today, another tomorrow and another the following day. When they realise that they can get away with anything, they descend on the entire population and massacre those who oppose their criminal regimes. Therefore what is happening to Dr. Besigye and the other political prisoners can and will happen to all of us UNLESS WE RISE UP AND PUT AN END TO THIS HUMILIATION. No wonder Museveni's son is saying that after killing Dr. Besigye, he will come for me and all of us. These are not empty threats- that is how the holocaust began. That is how genocides begin. I salute all those who are protesting, sending out messages and doing everything possible to ramp up the pressure. Let everyone do everything within their power to call for the immediate release of Dr. Besigye and other prisoners of conscience. #FreeKizzaBesigye #FreeAllPoliticalPrisonersinUganda #FreeUganda
