Forget Security for a sec and address the elephant once and for all

Giving Welcoming Remarks at the Press Briefing

Following the recent Mathari Hospital Break-out, different bodies have shown their support for or against the happenings. The Director of Medical Services filed the happenings as a security lapse and did not address the elephant in the room, why there was a security lapse, why there is congestion in Mathari which is meant to be a referral hospital after the community or primary level health facilities which are non-existent because....THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM. As I omitted talking about issues in my last post, i will do the same now and simply say; Forget Security for a sec and address THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM once and for all...that was part of why we did a press briefing this morning. See the press release below for your perusal and comments;

S/O to The Daily Nation for putting it on their online page  but their headline is not what we are after...we are after the ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM!!!

Yesterday evening, BBC contacted me to comment about the patients who ran from Mathari Hospital, given it was the first time i was hearing about the break out, I thought it was a joke and quickly called Dr. Kisivuli, Mathari Hosp Admin who confirmed the news and but also assured me that the patients are streaming back, 14/40 were back he said and told me if I or anyone spots anyone with a Mathari Hosp uniform to kindly inform the police or contact Mathari.

What is the place of a manic-depressive lady who has just delivered twins after been continuously raped?

With Rachel Shebesh, Mrs Kidero and Wangeci of Nairobi Women's

I know that is an uber long title for a blog post but that was the question I asked myself a few days ago when Nairobi Women Representative, Rachel Shebesh called me and asked me to meet her and Mrs Kidero, wife to Nairobi Governor, at Nairobi Women’s Hospital, Adams to visit a lady who had just delivered twins. The lady, who is manic-depressive, better known to many as bipolar, had been taken to the hospital by hawkers from Kagemi when they saw she was due. Her story is in many versions and investigations are still ongoing at the hospital to get the clear picture. According to Rose, the amazing Samaritan who took her to the hospital, the lady was evidently mentally disturbed and slept outside a hotel in Kagemi shopping centre and at night men lined up to sleep with her, ok sleep with her is not the word, the word is SEXUALLY ABUSE HER!!!
