  • Parents plead with government to help deaf children access education

    Parents plead with government to help deaf children access education

    By Lenah Bosibori and Henry Owino.

    Nairobi, Kenya:  Parents with deaf children in Kenya want the Ministry of Education in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Service to ensure efficient public service delivery to all deaf persons.

    The parents are therefore urging the Kenya Government through the relevant Ministry under State Department for Social Protection, Senior Citizens Affairs, and Special Programmes to look into their plight.

    In this regard parents of Deaf children are concerned with high levels of discrimination. Time to employ sign language interpreters.

    To start with, the number of public schools in Kenya offering education to children with special needs such as the deaf are inaccessible. The population of deaf children has increased so should the number of such special schools rise. A few available are far-flung and overcrowded with less specialized skilled teachers.

    The parents complain that several regular classrooms are continuing to be built for the new CBC curriculum with teachers trained yet sign language is ignored. Parents want pre-primary schools to be considered for sign language education to cater to deaf children. This should go up to the university level.

    Vyonne Busolo is a young parent of a deaf girl, aged 5 in pre-primary 1 in a certain school. It was difficult for her as a parent to communicate and find a school where her deaf daughter could join for basic sign language and education as a right.

    Busolo says schools offering specialized education for persons with a disability such as the deaf, in Kenya are extremely few. For a fact, she added the schools are barely countable and most enrolments start in lower primary onwards.

    “I was more stressed about finding a pre-primary school for my daughter to join than I was worried when I realized her hearing problem. This is because the only school that I knew offering specialized education for the deaf is in Vihiga County. Unfortunately, my daughter is so young to be away from me hence joined regular for now,” Busolo recalls her frustrations.

    “Lugha Ishara Organization has been of help to me with its programs. So, nowadays her daughter can use sign language to communicate, learn, and sing, and I have learned the sign language too,” she says delightfully.

    Even with the few special schools available, there are not enough skilled teachers to handle such deaf pupils. Busolo is worried about next year when her daughter is supposed to join the special primary school to continue with her education.

    The young parent admits that teaching pupils with hearing impairments to adapt the sign language is not an easy task. She urges parents and teachers to work together and always share challenges for the benefit of the deaf child.

    On the other hand, Busolo says there are challenges when it comes to healthcare services in public facilities. Most hospitals have no sign language interpreters either forcing parents to accompany their deaf children to hospitals or patients turned away.

    Accompanying a child means staying away from work and as a business person, it is a big loss for the day. So public health facilities need to employ sign language interpreters just like in churches, and television because receiving information is a right.

    Unfortunately, most doctors and nurses usually ignore deaf persons not just for being a child but even for adult patients without interpreter accompaniment. Yet it is the right of a patient whether normal or abled differently to be attended to for treatment.

    Comparing matatu touts who are said to be rowdy, arrogant, and ruthless with their passengers, the parent argued that the matatu crew is more considerate when it comes to the deaf community. Matatu crews are more disciplined than doctors or nurses considering their level of education to deaf persons,” Busolo argued.

    Statistics indicate that there are slightly over 200,000 deaf children with only about 10 percent schooling. While nationally, Kenya has 120 schools including 23 secondary schools for deaf learners. A few universities are trying to incorporate sign language for instance; Maseno, Moi, Kenyatta, and Embu have interpreters and deaf students enrolled.

    Lawrence Kiritu is a businessman with a 13-year-old son in grade 6. His son is well acquainted with sign language and a champion for the sign language society. He says his son is outgoing and has multifaceted talents most of which he learned from the Lugha Ishara Organization.

    Kiritu is urging the government to allow deaf pupils to realize their potential by training more teachers and building more special schools countrywide. He regrets that currently there are 120 schools for Deaf children nationwide.

    “The few schools for the deaf are very expensive to educate a child with hearing impairment due to distance. At least every constituency should such as a school for inclusivity instead of just a selected few counties most of which are privately owned,” Kiritu complains.

    Kiritu had to shift twice from his residence to accommodate his son with special needs in education at a school for Deaf children. Again, when the son was joining upper primary in grade 4, he had to relocate to another area for a nearby school offering education to Deaf pupils.

    “Our children deserve education and medical incentives like any other Kenyan children. We need properly equipped special public primary and secondary schools that cater to the education needs of our children,” Kiritu emphasizes.

    “I think the best thing government can do for us parents of Deaf children is to waive or exempt tax for us. This is because schools for the Deaf are few, and parents spend a lot of time, money, and energy for a child to receive their basic education right,” he suggests.

    Although Grace Wanjala whose child is in grade 3, aged 10 appreciated Lugha Ishara Organization for helping her daughter achieve sign language, she says a lot has to be done for Deaf children to appreciate the right education.

    “I thanked God for Lugha Ishara Organization in their sign language training to my daughter and myself. We can nowadays speak using sign language and make fun in the house,” Ms. Wanjala appreciates. Visitors who come into my house take time to realize it because of excitement and doing everything normally,” she adds.

    According to Nancy Maina, CEO Lugha Ishara is a startup company of a community-based organization (CBO) with a mission of achieving the transformational development of Deaf children and youth through technology-based innovations. She adds that they are committed to ending language deprivation among Deaf children in society regardless of the child’s social background.

    So, Lugha Ishara is an organization striving towards an end to language deprivation through early sign language exposure to Deaf children. It tackles language deprivation through early sign language exposure meaning age should not be a barrier.

    “We encourage parents to bring their Deaf children to Lugha Ishara, a CBO partnering with many other organizations in areas of education, health, and general welfare of children,” Ms. Maina explains.

    So, I call upon parents to join us and be part of the larger family forming one big community famous as “Lugha Ishara” meaning sign language which is envisioned as a world of Deaf inclusion,” she urges.

    Ms. Maina is calling upon parents with Deaf children to reach out to Lugha Ishara wherever part of the country they may be located, and the organization is ready to link them up for assistance. She emphasizes that no child should stay at home without basic education, healthcare, and play, because of their conditions.

    “Being Deaf does not mean one cannot achieve full potential in their life. Inability is not the disability, so let’s empower our children to realize their dreams in life,” Ms. Maina challenges parents.

    Ms. Maina made the remarks during the commemoration of the International Week of Deaf People which runs from September 19 to 25. The theme for this year (2022) is; “Building Inclusive Communities for All”.

    Sheila Lutta, Senior Education Officer Department of Special Needs Directorate, Ministry of Education says sign language is to be incorporated in the new Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) hence a more accessible deaf community.

    “The new curriculum is more inclusive as sign language is among selective subjects just like many others. This means it is more accessible to the wider community not just the deaf,” Lutta clarified.

    In 2018, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 23 September as the International Day of Sign Languages to raise awareness of the importance of sign language in the full realization of the human rights of people who are deaf. The resolution acknowledged that early access to sign language is vital to the growth and development of deaf individuals.

    Lugha Ishara is responding to this resolution by tackling language deprivation as one of the rights of children. It could be doing it as a charity organization yet it is a fundamental right the Kenya Government has no otherwise but to heed after becoming one of the first African countries to ratify the UNCRC in 1990.

    Convention on the Rights of the Child. Adopted and opened for signature, ratification, and accession by General Assembly resolution 44/25 of 20 November 1989.

    Kenya has indeed made significant progress in Child rights governance since it ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1990 and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child in 2001. However, concerning the Rights of Children with disabilities, there is a stalemate still wanting.

    According to the National Association of the Deaf, there are close to ten Bills of Rights for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children. For more information; https://www.nad.org/resources/education/bill-of-rights-for-deaf-and-hard-of-hearing-children/.

    For instance; Deaf children are born with the same ability to acquire language as any other child and deserve the same chance to acquire language.

    Deaf children have the right and the capacity to be educated, graduate high school, obtain further education, and pursue a career.

    To achieve this essential goal, all families of deaf children have the right to appropriate early intervention services as well as quality family educational services. These families have the right to accurate and comprehensive information, including access to state resources to help their deaf children reach their full potential.

    Deaf children can fully access education and society. This means every deaf child must have full access to all information, specialized personnel, school programs, social activities, and extra-curricular activities. Communication skills and/or modes by themselves do not equate to language proficiency.

    Deaf children have the right to qualified professionals proficient in developing the child’s acquisition of language throughout the early intervention and school years. To ensure this right is fully protected, deaf children must be assessed regularly by qualified language acquisition professionals. Just to mention but a few.

    World Health Organization (WHO), cautions that by 2050 nearly 2.5 billion people are projected to have some degree of hearing loss and at least 700 million will require hearing rehabilitation. And, over 1 billion young adults are at risk of permanent, avoidable hearing loss due to unsafe listening practices.

  • Parents Wants Education for Deaf Children by Handled by Expertise

    By HENRY OWINO

    Education and employment in most developing countries, children with hearing loss and deafness often do not receive schooling. While, adults with hearing loss also have a much higher unemployment rate.

  • Feed Manufactures and Livestock Stakeholders Laud Government’s Decision to Lift Ban on GMOs in Kenya Background

    Wednesday, October 12th 2022,Feed Manufactures and Livestock Stakeholders Laud Government’s (AKEFEMA) Decision to Lift Ban on GMOs in Kenya.

    AKEFEMA says that the livestock sector in Kenya contributes about 15% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

    In addition, it employs over 50% of the agricultural labor force. As the current situation deteriorates, more animal feed millers and livestock farmers continue to close businesses.

    As a result, three of the Big Four Agenda objectives, namely Food Security, Manufacturing, and Healthcare are at stake. AKEFEMA says that as such, urgent interventions are required, including allowing sourcing of soya bean meal and yellow maize from both GMO and non-GMO sources on a continuous basis.

    Secretary General for AKEFEMA Mr Kinoti has stated importantly, that the ban on importation of GMO foods continues to cripple the country’s ability to respond promptly to food and feed crises, despite the availability of overwhelming scientific evidence that GMOs approved by close to 70 govts  around the world are safe for human and animal consumption.

    The feed forum however states that the country also has ing a fully functional robust policy, legal and institutional framework for governing the use of GMOs

    AKEFEMA alongside other stakeholders (including farmer’s cooperatives, breeders, livestock producers and processors among others) issued a statement on the then status of the animal feed sub-sector petitioning the government to rescue the feed sector from eminent collapse due the escalating prices of raw materials used in feed milling.

    AKEFEMA however states that it’s Coincident that the cries was heard. The cries of the livestock sector players, H.E the President Emiritus Uhuru Kenyatta, during the Mashujaa Day celebration in Kirinyaga County directed the Cabinet Secretaries for Agriculture and The National Treasury to implement a workable framework that would help reduce the cost animal and poultry feed.

    Subsequently, the PS, State Department for Livestock immediately convened a Working Committee that developed the above framework within the timelines given by the H.E. the President.

    The Committee recommended short, medium and long-term policy, regulatory, legislative and administrative proposals in order to address the situation.

    On 10th December, 2021, the Boss or rather the CS, National Treasury published a Gazette Notice waiving import duty for registered feed milling companies to import raw materials for exclusive use by feed manufacturers.

    However, the Gazette notice included a quality requirement that the imported materials had to be 100% non-GMO, since there was a ban on importation and use of GMO materials into Kenya, which had been in place since 2012.

    This complicated the ability of the Gazetted millers to source the raw materials in the global market due to unavailability of the 100% non-GMO specification as well as the very high global prices of non-GMO materials and therefore the projected high cost of landing them in Kenya.

    Consequently, in February AKEFEMA and its partners petitioned the CS, Agriculture to initiate the requisite process of lifting the ban on GMO products, as one of the key mitigating factors towards the escalating animal feed costs that had led to the closure of many livestock enterprises.

    AKEFEMA and livestock stakeholders engaged widely with the local and international experts including The National Biosafety Authority, the Kenya Universities Biotechnology Consortium (KUBICO) and other researchers.

    The secretary General Mr Kinoti notes that there are seven countries in Africa that have approved growing and use GMOs including of South Africa currently cultivating 2.7 million hectares of GM crops, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Sudan, Malawi, Eswatini and Ghana. Further afield, Brazil cultivates 53 Million hectares, India -12 Million hectares, CCanada -12 million hectares China – 3.2 million hectares, among 70 countries that have either been growing or importing GMOs for more than 20 years.

    Further, The European Union, with it’s highly competitive livestock sector is 70% import-dependent on high-protein crops, most of which are GMOs imported from countries with 90% adoption of soybean and maize.

    AKEFEMA has noted with concern that the GMOs have been grown since 1996 so it is no longer a new technology.

    By 2019, 17 million farmers from 29 countries grew 191 million hectares of GMO crops and 19 of these countries were developing countries.

    Currently the Government has since then made the decision to lift the ban on the importation and use of GMO products in the country.

    AKEFEMA has come out profoundly to thank and applaud the current reign for lifting the ban on GMOs indicating that Kenya has lost two decades of scientific progress, and it is evident that the ban constrained bio-innovation, research and entrepreneurship developments in this key frontier of science and knowledge.

    Meanwhile, other countries have moved forward as the scientific community is now talking of genome editing whose discoverers won the Nobel Prize in the year 2020.

    AKEFEMA now states that it’s , not too late, Kenya has the requisite capacity to catch up, and be the leader and a reference in the region. The SG notes that the country should also impress products of biotechnology because it’s in widespread used in the realm of human and veterinary medicine such as in the management of diabetes, development of vaccines.

    The association as however called for unity and support to impress the ban lift on GMOs saying it has stifled the feed industry, and the livestock sector in many ways such as the ban limited the sources of feed raw materials with serious negative consequences, mainly unavailability and high cost, leading to loss of jobs and livelihoods due to closure/scale down of livestock farms, collapse of about 40 milling industries in the last 2 years.

    For instance, due to the ban, AKEFEMA says that members could not access soya beans from the open market, such as the countries that grow GMO products such as Brazil, Argentina and USA which is a key source of feed proteins.

    The association now affirms that the lifting of the ban on GMOs, Kenya is now able to source key ingredients from outside our southern neighbours, such as  Zambia, Tanzania, Malawi and Uganda.

    Finally, AKEFEMA briefs that Kenya is a pluralistic democratic society, where ideas and freedom of choice should be allowed to thrive and compete, in all spheres ranging from scientists, practitioners of science, and users to be given unhindered space to develop and  adopt all technologies that are products of sound and scientific evidence based decision making.

    AKEFEMA now is urging the new reign scientists, learning and research forums, and the media, to intensify sensitization and public education and enlightenment fora, in making informed decisions.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  • Indigenous Foods Key To Tackling Changing Weather & Drought

     

    Indigenous seeds and food have been said to present great value in adapting to changing weather patterns, varied soil types, temperature, pressure, clouds, wind, humidity, and rainfall.

    African Biodiversity Network (ABN) General Coordinator, Dr. Fassil Gabeyehu, said indigenous seeds present great value in that they can withstand the challenges and hold the key to ending the ongoing drought in the horn of Africa region.

    He was speaking in Nairobi on Tuesday during a press briefing on the planned National Indigenous Seed and Food Culture Harvest fair as a build-up towards the World Food Day to be celebrated nationally in Kajiado County.

    Gabeyehu said that indigenous seeds are seeds that have been grown, selected, and managed by local communities through several generations and are naturally adapted through the influence of local environmental factors in their growing environments.

    He further said that indigenous seeds and food are resilient and that they are diverse in character and occur in several different forms. “These seeds and food are also resilient to threats arising from pests, disease, and human interventions and are heterogeneous and polymorphic,” added Gabeyehu.

    Participatory Ecological Land Use Management (PELUM) Country Coordinator of Kenya Rosinah Mbenya, announced the launch of the first National Indigenous Seed and Food Culture Harvest Fair and the location of the event during the briefing in Nairobi.

    “The National Indigenous Seed and Food Culture Harvest Fair, a disclosure to the fervent need to recognize that food production is an economical and socio-ecological function that links people with nature will kick off tomorrow on 12th October 2022 at the National Museums of Kenya, Nairobi, and will continue until 14th as a precursor to the World Food Day celebrations on 16th October 2022,” said Manny.

    Mbenya highlighted that there are numerous benefits gained when indigenous seeds and foods are promoted and supported.

    “Promoting and supporting indigenous seeds and food assures sustainability of not only our food sufficiency but also an integral life support system that provides life and food-secure future thereby reducing poverty, enhancing food and nutrition security, besides improving natural resources and living in harmony with nature,” stated Mbenya.

    She further noted that the National Indigenous Seed and Food Culture Harvest Fair showcases the county’s bountiful inheritance of genetic resources.

    “The National Indigenous Seed and Food Culture Harvest Fair showcase a rich and diverse seed and food culture, which is a measure of the country’s bountiful inheritance of genetic resources, a treasure trove of our traditional knowledge and innovations, which reach out to the current future generations,” reiterated Mbenya.

    A member of the Biodiversity and Biosafety Association Kenya, Anne Maina listed some actions to be taken to support and promote indigenous seed and food systems.

    “To fully support and promote our indigenous seed and food system we recommend revitalization of local food production systems traditions at the household level, development of laws to promote and support Farmer Managed Seed Systems (FMSS), promotion of agrobiodiversity and agro-ecological practices to enhance livelihoods through food and nutrition security amongst others,” said Maina.

    Maina further recognized the stakeholders as the representatives of smallholder farmer groups, civil society groups, Community-Based Organizations(CBOs), Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs), and consumer networks.

    “We are the representatives of smallholder farmer groups, civil society groups, Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs), and consumer networks including BIBA Kenya, Inter-Sectoral Forum on Agrobiodiversity and Agroecology (ISFAA), PELUM Kenya, Seed Savers Network and African Biodiversity Network (ABN),” Maina stated.

  • Embrace people with Celebralpalsy in decision making, Sight of Relief organisation pleads

    The Government will construct more learning and recreational facilities for children living with cerebral palsy.

    This was said by a Ministry of Health official Margaret Kalekye during celebrations to mark World Cerebral Palsy Day at Camp Toyoyo stadium, Makadara sub-county, Nairobi County on Thursday, October 6th an event organized by Sight of relief Non-governmental organisation mainly dealing with Celebralpalsy natures.

Isaboke pleaded with the government to consider and embrace the Celebralpalsy group in the national government and county Governments in decision making processes for the purpose of inclusivity.

    Catherine Syokau Director of comm. for the organization retariates that it’s high time for the government to consider people with disability in appointments in the government because they understand better the challenges they go through. Ms. Syokau contested for MCA post in Machakos County where she was the only woman with disability and the only Woman during the election in that ward.

    Syokau however urged the current Governor for Machakos, Hon Gov. Wavinya Ndeti to consider People with disability more especially Woman to spearhead the agenda for prosperity.

  • Experts warn Africans against myths and misconceptions about Cancer 

    Experts warn Africans against myths and misconceptions about Cancer 

    By HENRY OWINO

    Nairobi, Kenya – Kenyan Network of Cancer Organizations (KENCO) an umbrella body of cancer NGOs based in Nairobi, Kenya, has come out strongly to caution cancer patients on myths and misconceptions on the treatment.

    Many cancer patients in Africa’s rural areas where screening is inadequate could be wrongly diagnosed, while others link witchcraft to their unending sicknesses. Many cancer patients are being lured to take bitter concoctions, herbal drugs, eating certain parts of rodent species or wild fruits for cure.

    The most being preferred is soursop fruits, sugar–apple, sweetsop, or custard apple fruits which are alleged to be effective in eliminating cancer. But cancer experts warn that there is no scientific research to prove the allegation so far.

    KENCO is a big organization known for supporting and working together with patients, families, groups, and community-based cancer organizations on the ailment. It is very active in cancer awareness, education, screening, prevention and patient support in Kenya and East Africa.

    This caution comes at a time when cases of cancer have become so rampant than experienced before.

    Currently cancer is causing panic to thousands of individuals, families and homes as it drains financially. The young, old, male and female in Kenya are upset by this dreaded non-communicable infection.

    Dr Boniface Mbuki, the Director of Cancer Awareness Centre says Cancer is a collection of over 100 diseases in which cells of an organ or tissue in the body become abnormal, growing and multiplying out of control. When cells grow out of control, they usually form a mass, called a tumour.

    Dr Mbuki explains thousands of Kenya and East Africa patients sought cancer treatment in India an expensive affair in terms of air ticket, hospital bills, among other requirement. It is for this reason that the American Cancer Society Strengthening Organizations for a United Response to the Cancer Epidemic (SOURCE) Program, launched its branch in Kenya 2016 anchored at KENCO to support Africans.

    The goal of the program is to strengthen cancer organizations and networks working in low-and-middle income countries. This is to help implement a more effective and collaborative response to the local cancer burden.

    According to Dr Mbuki, it is a comprehensive competency-based training and technical assistance program designed to strengthen the systems. These include technicalities, financial and human resources of participating cancer organizations, wherever they are in their development process.

    “There are different risks to different people for different cancers. Some cancers are known to pass down families’ hereditary like breast, ovary, colorectal/intestinal and pancreatic cancer,” Dr Mbuki explains.

    “Therefore, those who have had a family member who has had such cancer would benefit from screening to assess risk and enable us to take necessary measures at early stage to prevent cancer,” the Doctor adds.

    Other cancers are associated with age, viruses and lifestyle like smoking, stress, alcohol, bad sexual habits and diet for example, lung cancer, skin cancer, throat (nasopharyngeal), cervical cancer, and food pipe (oesophageal) cancer.

    For those with normal risk, there are guidelines for when specific screening ought to be done to detect and prevent common cancers. For example; pap smears every 2 years from 21 years of age to screen for cervical cancer, mammogram 2 yearly to screen for breast cancer in women above 40 years and colonoscopy every two years for intestinal cancer in populations above 40 years of age.

    The Cancer Treatment Center offers screening programs that address cancer concerns for individuals at affordable cost.

    Dr. Mbuki said some tumours grow and enlarge only at the site where they begin and these are referred to as benign tumours. Others not only enlarge locally but also have the potential to invade and destroy surrounding normal tissue and to spread to distant parts of the body. These are called malignant tumours or cancers.

    “Let me also explain that, istant spread of a cancer occurs when malignant cells become detached from the original (primary) tumour, get carried to other parts of the body and establish themselves in the new site as an independent (secondary) cancer,’’ Dr Mbuki says.

    A tumour that has spread in this manner is said to have metastasized and the secondary tumour(s) is called a metastasis (or metastases).

    “However, not all cancers form solid tumours. For example, in cancer of the blood cells (leukaemia) many abnormal blood cells are made in the bone marrow and circulate in the bloodstream,” Dr Mbuki clarified.

    Therefore, cancer is not caused by witchcraft or any form of supernatural forces. Cancer is a disease that can affect anyone, anywhere, in any country, at any time. Cancer is a complex group of diseases with many possible causes.

    Dr. Philip Odiyo stated some other known causes of cancer include genetic factors, lifestyle factors such as tobacco use, diet and physical inactivity.

    Dr Odiyo expounded it may be as result of certain types of infections.  “Some viruses are linked to certain cancers.” For instance, those with persistent infection with the Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C virus have an increased risk of developing cancer of the liver.” Dr Odiyo pointed.

    The other could be environmental exposures to different types of chemicals and radiation.

    “The age could be a contributing factor because the older you are, the more likely that you will develop a cancer. This is probably due to a buildup of damage to cells in the body over time.” Dr Odiyo added.

    Also, the body’s defences and resistance against abnormal cells may become weaker as one gets older.

    Those with a compromised immune system have an increased risk of developing certain cancers. For example, people with HIV/AIDS, or people on immunosuppressive treatment are most likely to suffer from cancer.

    Taking lots of protective foods such as fruits help boost body immune systems hence reduce chances of developing cancer.

    According to Dr Maureen Momanyi,currently,the much rumoured myths and misconceptions about cancer is not true. The following are some instances; Cancer is a death sentence, Cancer is witchcraft,Cancer can be cured by herbal treatment including concoctions and chang’aa (illicit brews).

    Others claim nothing can be done to stop the further spread of cancer,Cancer is a punishment or curse from God caused by breaking some rules, a pregnant mother with cancer will automatically give birth to a child with cancer among others.

    “You know the seriousness of cancer. You know the toll it takes mentally, emotionally, financially, spiritually, and physically,” Dr. Mamanyi sympathized.

    She noted it causes stress in one own mind and body as well as in relationships with friends and family. Cancer treatments can make it hard to do the things you’ve always done as a human being, a parent, or an employee.

    “Dr Momanyi implied: “here is nothing in your daily existence that cancer doesn’t touch. It is an exhausting villain to fight and it wipes you out in so many ways that are hard to explain to people who haven’t felt the impact of this horrific disease in their own lives”.

    Together with myths and misconceptions, many patients die due to discouragements and propaganda in the community they live.

    Dr Momanyi advises, to dispel these myths and misconceptions about Cancer there is need to talk about cancer freely. Talk to friends, neighbors, children and family members.

    Share Cancer Resource Guides with community organizations such as churches, schools, community centers in marketplace, Chief Baraza,funerals among other gatherings.

    Contact local clinic for testing, use the Cancer Resource Guide to find information about a clinic near you regularly.

    Talk to a dietician or nutritionist about specific foods to help fight cancer, work together with others experts to get Cancer out of the dark and into the light.

    “As a community, we can break the stigma of Cancer, and fight cancer together! “Don’t wait, act now!”Dr Momanyi advised.

  • President William Ruto Chairs Cabinet Dispatch

    President William Ruto Chairs Cabinet Dispatch

    PRESIDENT William Samoei Ruto, Ph.D., C.G.H. has this morning chaired a meeting of the nation’s apex policy organ, Cabinet, at State House,Nairobi.

    The meeting was convened to consider the progress made in the national response to the ongoing drought situation that has affected 23 counties; together with an appraisal of the ongoing humanitarian support and relief food being provided to the families in those areas and the medium-term and long-term strategies being developed to address the food security situation in the country.

    Cabinet considered a broad array of proposals touching on climate change adaptation, reducing Kenya’s reliance on rain-fed agriculture by increasing irrigation, planting of diverse and drought resistant crops, and the implementation of early warning and response mechanisms that are activated at the very start of adverse situations rather than when the situations have escalated into disaster conditions.

    As part of the medium to long term responses to the ongoing drought, and as a progressive step towards significantly redefining agriculture in Kenya by adopting crops that are resistant to pests and disease, Cabinet also considered various expert and technical reports on adoption of biotechnology; including reports of the Kenya’s National Biosafety Authority (NBA), World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), United States of America’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

    In accordance with the recommendation of the Task Force to Review Matters Relating to Genetically Modified Foods and Food Safety, and in fidelity with the guidelines of the National Biosafety
    Authority on all applicable international treaties including the Cartagena
    Protocol on Biosafety (CPB), Cabinet vacated its earlier decision of
    8th November, 2012 prohibiting the open cultivation of genetically modified crops and the importation of food crops and animal feeds produced through biotechnology innovations; effectively lifting the ban on Genetically Modified Crops.

    By dint of the executive action open
    cultivation and importation of White (GMO) Maize is now authorized.

    Today’s decision follows an earlier Cabinet decision made on 19th
    December, 2019 regarding the commercialization of Bacillus
    Thuringiensis (BT) Cotton Hybrids in Kenya; which is a genetically
    enhanced variety of cotton that is resistant against African Bollworm, the
    most destructive and pervasive pest in cotton framing.

    That earlier approval by Cabinet sought to revamp production of textiles, apparel, feed, and oil-industries towards the realization of the industrialization; and today’s Cabinet decision builds on it and also extends its benefits to other agricultural and manufacturing
    sectors.

    The nation’s apex policy organ was also apprised on the preparations for the National Examinations for Grade 6, Class 8 and Form 4; which are scheduled to take place from 28th November, 2022 to 23rd December, 2022.

    Cabinet took the opportunity to wish all candidates success as they prepare and sit for their examinations.

    Cabinet welcomed the normalization of the education learning calendar with effect from January of 2023, noting that it would herald the conclusion of the recovery of learning times lost due to the school closures occasioned by the COVID-19 Pandemic.

    Cabinet reaffirmed the importance of the ongoing reforms to steer the nation towards an era of Universal Health Coverage through the bold and progressive legislation enacted early in the year on mandatory

  • Why no Kenyan celeb was featured in Young, African and Famous show

    Why no Kenyan celeb was featured in Young, African and Famous show

    If you ask me today what I think about reality shows, I’ll tell you they are not necessary. Yet, at this point; they continue to prove otherwise.

    Ever wondered whether any show could be more repetitive and pointless than Wife Material? Well, read on. Cringe reality shows are the epitome of so-bad-that-it’s-good television, and Kenya has a huge collection of these.

    Currently, there is a state of unrest on social media thanks to the new reality TV show that featured some of the most influential names in Africa including Diamond Platnumz from Tanzania, Zari Hassan from Uganda, Annie Idibia from Nigeria and Khanyi Mbau from South Africa.

    The show revolves around the stars’ day to day activities and how they handle different situations from time to time as friends. So why was there no Kenyan celebrity on the show? Does it mean we still have a lot to do when it comes to reality shows?

    Let’s see what might have disqualified us from the show.

    A reality TV show is not all about fighting

    Have you ever come across a show that is so bad that you can’t look away and you end up watching every bit of it? That show is Nairobi diaries. Celebrities like Vera Sidika featured in our very own Nairobi Diaries that aired for about 9 seasons. You can’t spell fight without Nairobi Diaries. There can be drama without people getting aggressive physically.

    Scripted, but do it with style

    Eric Omondi’s reality show; Wife Material was so scripted that a blind man could tell. No matter how terrible it was, people were still glued, probably because of the bad scripting and contestants overplaying their part. There was drama in Young, African and Famous, but so far, no one has laid a finger on a fellow contestant. There are so many ways of handling certain issues without fighting, people!

    Maybe celebrities turned down the offer

    Netizens have been talking about how Amberay and Betty Kyallo could have been on the show. But what if Betty Kyallo was actually contacted but couldn’t say yes because she is already working on her reality show?

    Kenyan celebrities have nothing to show

    When someone said fake it till you make it, Kenyans understood the assignment. Especially Kenyan celebrities. Up to date, we are still wondering why the Bahati’s are driving around with a car with no number plate and haven’t yet moved to their new ‘mansion’.

    Anyway, I don’t have a say in that. For one to qualify in the Young, African and Famous show, you have to be rich. What is the net worth of a top Kenyan artist? I’ll wait.

    With all that said, I actually watched every episode of Nairobi Diaries. Despite the cringe comedy and the unnecessary drama, I wanted more. Maybe that’s us, and we should embrace it. Hopefully, we’ll get to see our very own on season 15 of Young, African and famous.

    Anne Olympia Wafula, an Athlete, Author & Motivational Speaker located in the United Kingdom (UK). She was born in Muhiu, Bungoma County, and her early life story is not a flowery one. Wafula was born normal, but at the age of two unfortunately  She suffered a polio attack, rendering her disabled.

    But the disability is not an inability and the situation didn’t end her life story. Olympia picked herself up and started scaling heights, focusing on her education. After completing her A-levels and graduating from Moi University with a Bachelor of Education degree, Wafula became a teacher at the Machakos Technical College.

    While teaching and focusing on her future life, she met a man who eventually called her hubby and later strengthened the union which led her to Britain in the early 2000s becoming the beginning of a new chapter.

    Four years after relocating to the UK, she would embark on a career never taken by many when she ventured into the world of athletics.

    In 2004, Wafula became the first wheelchair athlete from Sub-Saharan Africa to take part in the Paralympics in Athens.

    In 2006, she became a British citizen. That allowed her to join Team GB and kick-started a professional career as a full-time athlete.

    In 2007, she was among the delegates who were invited to Buckingham Palace. In 2014, Wafula was officially awarded the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for her services to disability sports and charity work. The recognition is equivalent to what Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford holds.

    In her social media accounts, she shared that joy has furthered her education and she has graduated with an honorary degree. She showed genuine gratitude and honored the University Of Essex Pro-Chancellor.

    ”I want to show my genuine gratitude to the University Of Essex for acknowledging me with the Honorary Degree of Doctor of The University conferred to me by the Pro-Chancellor on Tuesday, 19th July. I am thrilled and delighted to receive this honor from such a wonderful and forward-thinking University. It’s a blessing to be in great company.” Facebook quote by Anne  Olympia Wafula Strike

    She doesn’t regret changing her citizenship and to some extent abandoning teaching but now she has achieved all that is needed to satisfy her heart by acquiring UK citizenship.

    Wafula has been named one of the top 12 influential women of color in the UK and received a Black Entertainment, Film, and Fashion Award (BEFFTA) for being the most inspirational figure.

    Wafula won the UK-Kenyan Sports Personality of the Year Award in 2004 and has also won the Women for Africa Recognition Award.

    To mark Black History Month in the UK, Wafula was among the six athletes feted in October 2021. She shared the accolades with Lewis Hamilton. But retiring from athletics. The strong woman has been running life-changing initiatives, touching lives in the UK and across the world.

    She established the Olympic-Wafula Foundation to promote healthy-living solutions among people living with disabilities and less disadvantaged people. She further concluded in a phone call that ”Racism is cancer that so many of us are enduring.” in the UK or the white nations she narrates that they sometimes even hide on pretense and say they have black friends or complement black persons to fool the rest.

    On her success, she says that a lot of rejections and sidelining are always witnessed but she always does everything to fit in and tries to fake smiles at all times she faces turns off  ”I did everything to try and fit in but the smiles I got turned to malice and gossip on how to bring me down behind closed doors. They saw me as the person who had come to upset the balance and share in their glory ” Wafula concluded.

    Finally, Anne Wafula urges the persons living with disability to desist from being silent about factors affecting society  ”As a disabled woman, a teacher, a Paralympian, a charity worker, and a campaigner for disabled Rights and Inclusion, I believe our lives end and we die when we stay silent about issues that affect society.”

    Despite all the success, ups and downs sidelining, and rejection, persons living with disability should always be recognized and given total accreditation and services like others. Anne Wafula remains the iron lady who tries to fight and bring joy in the phase of living.
