Impact of poverty on health and well being is at an all time low in parts of Kenya. As the mPigs in parliament plan a new way to loot the public coffers by way of early pay depending on the election date, their constituents on top of drought are re-using condoms and resorting to all manner of things as contraception. The following feature depicts this sad situation:

Sad , but what are you and me doing to help the situation .Just watch this continue?

Suppose you and me decided to donate Kshs 100p.m. a fund/or even the SK charity club to do something to uplift the lives of someone using a polythene paper to land?


Just a thought.

Thats why time to support V2030 & Leona is now.

Here are some other ideas on what you can do for your country

I prefer to advocate for proper governance change as policy formulation and implementation in my view is a real longer term solution as it impacts most on social well being - for generations to come.
NB: That compliments other well intentioned actions in wazua & beyond.

I dont think this is a governance issue if you have been to samburu you would realise that its difficult to offer services to nomadic communities unless CBO are involved.Now we have thousands of this NGO what do they do,who evaluates their activities as I said in another thread the Govt offers Condoms for free and contraceptives for Ksh.20.Ignorance is no defence when pple travel to town to buy a premium brand and complain they are expensive.

The nomads move in search of something specific...we all know what it is...including the govt. Bringing it to them, as is partly going on with boreholes for water - for them and their animals - will reduce their movement and help centralise provision for basic needs. This is a governance issue. NGO's compliment, they do not take over government responsibilities for providing adequate food, water and health for it's citizens as enshrined in our new constitution - Bill of Rights.

I also agree it is more of ignorance than governance.A few years back the situation was worse than it is now.The Govt/NGOs on ground need to invest more on educating the Nomadic communities on issues such as basic sanitation .They should also ensure that the free condoms are easily available to the communities.Probably these guys don't even know the govt gives free condoms.....

i beg to differ from views, if they were so ignorant, they would not be trying so hard to have "protected" sex. They have the basic knowledge that they require protection. I doubt if they had access to free condoms they would not use them

Yerp, 'totally ignorant people' avoiding the scourge of HIV...Singapore and the rest didn't get there by depending on NGO's to fix their national issues. If the 'ignorant' are the majority in a whole county if not country, don't you wonder why.

What is the role of our elected leaders seating in parliament and what informs contents of their ministerial budgets??

if I were the minister concerned,I would have sacked two people by now

1.Isiolo district Public health officer
2.National Aids Control Council head....Dr. Alloys Orago (this is not politics)

# 1 above is because he is responsible for all the returns in regard to his district to the Provincial Head.
# 2 is because since Aids was upgraded to a national disaster level,the council is not doing enough to reach to all corners of the country.My collegue in school who works in a Kiambu county govt hospital called me as the news were being read and sympathised urging that they have so many condoms expiring in their hospitals because of not being used.
