Police in Nyamira on Friday arrested a census official for using a census laptop and a power bank as collateral after he failed to pay a beer bill.
The officer, an ICT expert, was apprehended after he missed pre-census preparation and briefing meeting on Wednesday.  
Mr Japhan Wachiali, the head of statistics in Nyamira, said the officer has since been interdicted and replaced.
Authorities say that their investigations show that the officer, who wanted drink beer, did not have money to pay his bills.

How a farmer makes Ksh. 135,000 from four dairy cows

Image
Photo, Courtesy Best Dairy Farmers in Kenya: BY FARMERS TV : When Gilbert Ngetich bought his first Friesian cow in 2009, little did he know that 10 years later, he would be feted for his outstanding performance in a field he had little knowledge in. He was awarded a gold certificate last week for his Sweet Farm Dairies Roret farm which stood out among others in the region. The competition organised by the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Irrigation and Elgon Kenya, a non-governmental organisation, was aimed at encouraging farmers to transform their farms through technology. “In 2009, I bought a pedigree Friesian heifer which gave birth to the first heifer the following year. The cows have since multiplied; I now have 13 cows. The number could have been higher than this but I sold some,” said Ngetich. The 41-year-old farmer said he decided to rear the Friesian breed as it’s known to produce more milk compared to other breeds. A single cow can produce up to ...

We have to follow the law, which requires that we have to first get the letter of the administrator of the estate,” the source said. “If the family agree on how to share the money, the name of the administrator must be published in the Kenya Gazette ,  so that anybody with an issue can come up,” The deceased’s brother, Mr Imran Okoth, however declined to comment on the matter citing  that the matter is private and the family lawyer is best placed to handle it. “I don’t know why t...

KNUT SECRETARY GENERAL WILSON SOSSION WANTS TSC ABOLISHED

-
Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT)  Secretary General Wilson Sossion now wants the Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC) to be abolished. According to Mr. Sossion, who blames the commission for the endless stalemate between the government and teachers, an independent body should be created to help in the regulation of teachers’ welfare. Mr. Sossion also revealed that the union had already proposed amendments in the TSC Act that should only leave the commission with the responsibility of employing teachers. “The mandate that we granted TSC is bad, we need to return it back into the Ministry of Education. We cannot have two government bodies manning the same thing; education. We need to have one office and the money they are using should be used to employ teachers,” said Sossion. His sentiments were echoed by Funyula Member of Parliament Wilberforce Oundo who urged TSC to “respect teachers.” The two spoke during a fundraiser at Ambrose Adeya Adongo Secondary School in Al...

Vaginal steaming is dangerous, gynaecologists warns

Ladies, there is a new fad in town — vaginal steaming. But watch out, for it can be harmful. It involves women sitting on a pot and exposing their genitalia to steamed concoctions. However, repeated exposure, experts warn, could lead to burns, irritation and, in some cases, urinary tract infections. DELICATE TISSUE Vaginal steaming is dangerous and it can harm you, gynaecologists are now warning. Dr Aggrey Akula, a gynaecologist based in western Kenya, and Dr Nelly Bosire, an obstetrician and gynaecologist (ob-gyn), are cautioning that the vaginal environment is delicate and anything that goes up there should be verified. ‘Not as interesting’ “The vaginal environment is not sterilised. Bacteria and yeasts depend on the acidic-based balance to survive. The moment we change this by using herbs and steam, we are changing its chemical composition and inviting problems,” Dr Bosire says. She adds: “This is not as forward-thinking and interesting as women ...
