Ruto: This afternoon I will issue directives on how to revert cargo to the port of Mombasa. This will restore thousands of jobs in the city of Mombasa.
Every time you want to hate on public health care, always know you're an accident or an emergency away from being a patient at a public hospital. Your insurance will not save you. So whatever you do, fight for a working public health care system.
This morning we lay Johnson Barasa, (SABC cameraman Nairobi office) to rest at his home in Kitale. Just like I have used this platform for 12 years to tell you the stories that the two of us were working on, allow me to use it to pay tribute to him in a short thread.

An MP sat in parliament through first to third reading of a law that says farmers will pay tax on their cash crops. Today he joined the same farmers to complain about the taxes in a public meeting, even chasing away KRA agents.
In an interview with Ruto we asked him what he would do to fight corruption he told us on day one he would institutionalise the judiciary fund. Looks like he's on to something.
If you've had a salary or some form of income over the last six months you need to be grateful. Above that I think you need to share, millions out here are suffering. I have witnessed this over the last week. From teachers to the jua Kali sector. Our economy is battered.
Nairobi rain has really grown up. Sunny days, rainy nights. Balance. We thank God. Those sitting on riparian land, this happens to be Wangari Mathaai month.

Been trying to voice a story since 6, the cock keeps crowing 😂😂😂😂😂 mid sentence. This work from home can get you fired for not meeting deadlines kumbe ni kuku.
There's this shop opposite Jeevanjee where they sell uji flours,very good. For example if you are weaning you give the baby's age and they mix them. They also have other ujis eg if you're lactating, diabetic etc

Doctors in Kenya have from today joined nurses and clinical officers in a nationwide strike. They are demanding adequate and sufficient PPEs, comprehensive medical, risk allowances. Health ministry says those who down their tools will be fired.
This one scene has refused to leave my mind a lady crying holding onto a plain clothed officer, saying i am going to die, police officer answers, not today my sister you will not die.

Kwale is a resource-laden county that coupled with tourism, has great potential that must be fully utilized for the benefit of its people. We should all continue to work towards the goal of making Kenya a better nation. I was glad to briefly engage with the residents.
Wait until you see how crowded school buses are. Let's just say God is protecting children because....we may have just wasted nine months of learning. Nothing changed. Nothing apart school fees.
How can a committee come to ask parents whether schools should reopen? Si they should speak to experts, the ones who told them to close them in the first place?

His children were mine and my children were his. On my daughter's last visit to the office he gave the SABC mic and asked her to be a better reporter than mum.

One change that the
@EduMinKenya
should have immediately put in place is to make the CBC text books shareable. Writing in text books is uneconomical. Books have always been handed down to the next sibling!!
Members of the Shona Community who have lived in Kenya for more than 50 years will today receive their Birth Certificates making them officially Kenyans.

Who would have imagined that an American President would ever be asked if he'll peacefully hand over power. This question was reserved for the "Third World".

Some very personal news out of the SABC news Nairobi office. This afternoon our dear colleague and cameraman Johnson Barasa took his final bow. We thank the Lord for the time we spent with him. May his soul rest in peace.
Rest now my friend, father and mentor. Africa is richer because you were one of us. We will continue with your legacy...it is not easy but we must make you proud.

We have been on the ground in Somaliland, our investigations reveal Human rights violations, including indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas and infrastructure.
Kenyans listen. There are no enough hospitals,enough health workers,enough ventilators or even resources to handle mass infections of COVID19. Assume everyone you meet is infected&also assume you are already infected.Don’t assume we are safe.If you do so you will stay SAFE
Kenya says it has negotiated for unrestricted entry of Kenyans into the neighboring EU states, a request that was honored by Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania that Kenyans cross their borders via simplified procedure.
I joined the SABC in 2008 as a young mum to be, incidentally taking over from my mentor

. Barasa held my hand and together we continued telling the African story.

I don't about you but unlike this time last year,now i know pple who have lost their lives to Covid19. I finally got my 1st jab bcoz it is now open to everyone. I did it to protect myself, my family especially my only surviving parent my dad. My advise: please get vaccinated
In 2004, I won a CNN African journalist award for reporting the deforestation of the Mau complete with a map of rivers that would dry up if no action was taken. I was right!!!
Doctors are still on strike. It however doesn't seem to bother those it should. Really tempted to thread what the last few days have been for us with patients at public health facilities.
For 12 years we have told the African story. You only needed to see a big man with a camera and tripod and behind him would be a small woman with a smile and a bag.

It's World Press Freedom day and guess what, it's also Barasa's birthday. Barasa is the SABC East Africa's bureau cameraman for years now. He's covered some of the biggest stories from the region.

...and this made me have him give all my decisions a second look. When he learned that my former employer had paid my dues he held my hand took me to Syokimau and said "At your age, the UN considers you homeless, until you have ur own house," that's how I owned a home.

New Zealand just elected its most diverse Parliament ever.
10% of Parliament is now LGBTQ+, and winner Labour's candidates are 50% women and include 16 Māori MPs and the first ever MPs of African and Sri Lankan origin.
Since I started Chakula (see pinned tweet) I'm always inclined to look out for farmers doing more than just farm. We're catching up with value addition.
