Good question! So 5 years ago, APHRC developed Nairobi's first Shit Flow Diagram. 60% of residents were NOT connected to a sewer. Only 34% of human waste was treated; the rest is in the environment with us. So yeah, we have been in sh*t for some time.

We still have a big gap between legalese and civic education. Mostly, it's lawyers talking to other lawyers. Anyway here is an "easy to digest" thread. It's a bit long because of all the issues in here, but here goes (THREAD)

As of Thursday there were 9 children with gunshots wounds at KNH. ALL were shot at home on 7/7 by police. The youngest Dan Odhiambo 7 yrs old was watching cartoons at home in Kiserian when two police bullets wounded him. This nation needs to be at a standstill!!!!!

These are not just careless utterances. They have been showing and telling us a lot of the things that will play out in 2027. So far, we have state-sponsored militia, state-sanctioned shootings, and now the intention to rig an election. We can't be caught flat-footed.

It's a huge honor to be among the five global thought leaders commissioned by Wellcome to develop proposals that will help reshape a global health system built on equity, inclusivity, and long-term sustainability.

This is our moment to chart bold and evidence-informed solutions for a global health system that serves everyone, sustainably. Restructuring for resilience means centering communities, agency and dignity of all people.

I've been really enjoying Michelle O's unfiltered podcast era. She has something really good going with IMO and with such enriching life conversations✨️

New university funding model but no money for HELB. No capitation grants for secondary schools. But 1.2bn for a church in statehouse. It will take us many years to undo the harm caused by this regime.

38 people have now been charged with trumped up terrorism charges since 7/7. Meanwhile we've lost about 20 soldiers to actual terrorists this week. There was no medevac for the injured & the hospital they were taken to was a level 2 hospital. The actual terrorists still roam free

I don't know if this makes it worse, but what he actually launched was the live coverage of the migration😂😂. Where is our yoga CS?

In this analysis from someone who’s taught both at Strathmore and JKUAT, there is no accounting for how the structural deficiencies at one institution (mostly absent in the other) systemically doubly disenfranchise students from marginalized socioeconomic backgrounds. And…

Reminds me of a story in Jennifer Makumbi's 'Manchester Happened' about a stray dog who found himself in Manchester after befriending a pet who was on summer break in Kampala. As a musenji, he felt emasculated by his new identity as a pet😂

It has exacerbated existing inequalities in education in the country. Underfunded, understaffed & underequipped public schools (where most learners are) can't deliver this. We still have learners under trees, sitting on stones with no textbooks.

We really need to hold the media accountable for alarmist and misleading headlines. Policy recommendations are just that-recommendations. There are processes and procedures to be followed, with no guarantee that they will translate to legislation.

The thing about policy change is that when interests align, things move. In this case, it could be a bizarre alignment of public health, national security, political and market interests.
