A troubling and alarming similarity between the political elites/rulers of the five NFD counties in Northern Kenya (Mandera, Wajir, Garissa, Isiolo, and Marsabit) and Somalia is interesting to note. It also needs urgent redress. It also helps one understand the predatory nature

Great start to our weekly seminars for 2025! Our Interim Executive Director, Edwine Barasa, kicked us off with a fascinating look at "Exemplars in Primary Healthcare," analyzing how certain LMICs achieve impressive PHC outcomes with limited health spending.

Today on #WorldMalariaDay, we highlight one of our Fellows whose project aims to identify parasite proteins on red blood cells that are involved in malaria pathogenesis and their interaction with host genetic variants such as sickle cell and Dantu.

People are paying between Ksh 500,000 and Ksh 1,000,000 to get jobs as prison warders. Jobs that pay from Ksh 20,000 a month. If you can afford Ksh 1,000,000, and the cash is paid in cash, means you can do anything. Are people desperately stupid? 🤔 Government Advisor Numero Uno
