One such case is a parent kept quite when their daughter was raped until when she gave birth that is when the secret was revealed. There was also a 12 year old who was raped and went to various hospitals for one  full month and the defiler ran away but unfortunately the girl died of the injuries.This according to Porn survey 2019 reveals that porn damages young and old people's mind and behavior. The society we live in is not following the correct norms and religion is not being followed by majority of the youth. The youth are engaging very early in sexual activities. The most bizzare of the cases is the one where a young man raped his own aged mot...

Show programs suitable for children this holiday School children are now at home. And as the ministry of education has ordered, there is no tuition or holiday coaching. Therefore TV and Radio's which are the mainstream  which are now very many and are information giving and entertaining should show programmes as early as 9.00 am which will entertain, inform and educate children. Nowadays surprisingly many programs are showing interviews can continue with such programs sometimes upto lunchtime, denying childrens the right of learning, information or adding CBC knowledge.

STOP CAR WASH IN LION’S STAGE IN KlTALE It is a sad reality that River Athi has formed a long disease corridor as it snakes its way to the Indian Ocean. At lions' stage in Transzoia County there is a carwash and vehicles which include, Lorries, Cars,Nairobi Matatu's and motorcycles are washed using the water from the river which also snakes its way to villages bring poison to homes. Let authorities ban the washing of vehicles at lion’s stage in Transzoia County, as it is spreading diseases and more people may die of cancer. Counties are dealing with an explosion of cancer,dirrhoea, skin disease and water borne diseases. The oil in the vehicles pollutes the river and in the end spread the disease along the river endangering the residents. Please stop car washing.Where is Nema? By Veronica onjoro Mombasa

Let the Government protect Lake Victoria fishermen We buried this fellow (name withheld) last month. He was of fisherman in Lake Victoria. The cause of death was that he was found floating in water and upon examination he was found to have injuries on his head and abdomen. I recall during our holidays in Busia, fishermen could passby every day at 4.00pm and my late mother would purchase fresh fish. This is the way of life of residents  Samia and Bunyala.  Fish is the delicacy. A report that men in military gear seize fishermen boats, give them 100 stroke of the cane and are made to eat raw fish is not only dehumanizing but against human rights. These people do legal jobs of fishing to eke a living but are beaten, arrested, taken to court and are forced to pay 50,000/- to get back their gear. Some sold their house items and livestock to raise the  money. The fishermen are held 24 hours and over 300 boat engines belonging to Kenya are held by UPDF soldiers.Currently...

Census officials should count people before midnight I met a group of Mombasa County residents in an intense debate about fears of the upcoming census.Their pertinent questions were valid,such as why is the census being done at night? If the census officials knock at their door at 2.00 am should they open the door? Why should census officials not count residents in the daytime? Because of the recent insecurity,the residents expressed their fears and worries that rogue people will look for police uniform and take advantage of the census night and rob and injure residents.Let census officials start counting people as early as from 5.00 pm as some families will have arrived at home.Chief's should also be sensitized to talk to their residents to come early to their homes so that the counting become a success.Let the government tell employers to release their employees early by at least one hour.Therefore Mombasa County residents want to see the census officials counting them as early...

These are Jomo Kenyatta University and Egerton University.When l heard in the news that Kenya has imported manure, l felt so sad.The Government funds these Universities as well as pay salaries to lecturers.In every University there is research department and l fail to understand why Kenya as a Country in this day and  age is still importing manure from other Countries.What are our Professors in the Universities researching on? The imported manure could harm our soil as well as our crops because we do not know the formula.If Kenya has discovered Mpesa which is a high technical innovation,why not make our own manure and patent it and as some farmers in the rural areas can make their manure.Let Egerton  and Jomo Kenyatta University revert to agriculture based studies to reduce the dependence of foreign products so as to reduce using foreign exchange ...
