The CS Water, Irrigation and Sanitation, Alice Wahome, through the PS Water, Dr. Paul Ronoh, has been leading discussions at Maanzoni Lodge, Machakos County that focused on stakeholder engagement and help in sensistizing the private sector on supporting the government with Public Private Partnership (PPP) frameworks that will in the end increase water accessibility to citizens, a promise the Kenya Kwanza government had made to its people. CS Wahome added that they target irrigation coverage of 1.2M acres by 2030 and that water access is to increase to 80% from 60% with increament in private financing through the Water Purchase Agreements (WPAs).

Given the criticalness of water for economic development and as constitutionalized as a basic right as noted by DG PPP at National Treasury Christopher, PS Dr. Ronoh insisted on the collaboration efforts by all water stakeholders as the drought in the country carries on even after four decades. Eng. Alima, Water Secretary, mentioned that Mzima project is among those approved for PPP as others like the Sabaki project is still on evaluation. The workshop was set to engage the water stakeholders as well as provide a sample WPA and other structures for the development of the PPPs.

Gender based violence incidents on the rise at the Coast, cases unreported for fear of stigma.

By Thurea Teryane Mwadzaya

Mombasa County Gender based champion Caroline Adhiambo is urging women facing violence in their homes to report these cases as a deterrent measure. Addressing the media in Mombasa, Caroline said victims of domestic violence suffer shame and fear reporting in a bid to protect their marriages. “I faced violence in marriage 10 years ago, my husband would beat me, but I persevered in silence, my sister would nurse me after the beating, as she passed by my house daily, the situation grew worse and that is when my sister confronted my husband threatening to send him to jail”, Caroline said.

Habiba Achieng, a mother of 2, living in the County says she survived beatings from her husband, for the desire to belong in the society. She says although being a housewife with no income, her husband would beat her every time he found no food on the table. “My husband beat me daily, anytime he missed food on the table, he beat me up. I did not want to fail my parents by leaving him, I did not want my peers who we engaged in a merry-go-round chama to see me without a husband, I suffered in silence as he beat me in view of my daughter who watched in silence”, sobbed Habiba.

According to Caroline, women need to be strong and not be reluctant in acting against violence for them to remain sane and support their children. “I recall when my husband and his brother beat and bruised me, they left me in pain and travelled to Uganda. It is my sister who took me to hospital where I underwent an eye operation. Once I healed, I became an ambassador of GBV, I knew other women were in similar or even worse situations and I decided to save them through advocacy", explained Caroline.

Salim Suleiman, the Director at Haki na Usawa, a human rights organization, has urged the 7 women Governors to provide programs that will spearhead mentorship and entrepreneurial skills to women, to minimise GBV cases in the country. “We have sorted out about 45 percent of gender-based cases in Migadini area and we forward them to other organisations to enable thorough tracking and compensation of cases so that the women get justice”, said Salim. Despite assisting victims of GBV, Director Suleiman says most victims are still reluctant to open up and seek help. “We seek collaboration and partnerships with both the government and the society so that we can fully achieve zero cases of GBV to have peaceful families", said Salim.

Vespus Chenja, a Psychological Counselor at Mariakani Sub-County Hospital, says the widespread disinformation that women who report such cases are failures in marriage, has seen many women in situations of violence choose silence. “It is a burden to the women who suffer GBV as their children may end up being brutal. They are likely to build up hatred in their lives and it ends up becoming a cycle. We have at least 60 cases of children raised in violent homes, ending up isolating themselves”, said Vespus.

A good number of women in the Coastal region of Kenya contend with different cases of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). The available data from the toll-free help line set by the Kenya’s State Department for Gender in the Ministry of Public Service and Gender to assist victims of violence, show that cases of GBV in women increased by 116 in August of 2020. Psychological abuse is recorded as the leading type of abuse having 1360 cases of women while physical assault recorded 601 cases of violence against women.

According to the data, many of these women are unable to report or open due to societal norms that condition them to believe that a good woman must protect her marriage no matter the challenge. Other women fear the shame and ridicule the society subjects those forced to leave their marital homes.

First Lady Mama Rachel Ruto today led a tree-planting exercise in 200HA Kakamega Forest land in Kakamega County. The exercise is part of an effort to restore water catchment systems in the country.

This comes as the country recovers from a severe drought that ravaged most parts of the country as a result of climate change. President Ruto last month laid bare the government's commitment in restoration of forests. In the recently concluded COP27 climate change conference in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, the President stated that his government will change the approach from tree-planting to tree-growing in order to encourage more people to plant more trees. The government targets 5 billion trees in the next 5 years and 10 billion by 2032. The First Lady's action today compliments the President's commitment.

In her speech, the First Lady encouraged Kenyans to each plant atleast 300 trees which will be equivalent to 15 billion in 2032. Present during the exercise were the Environment and Forestry CS, Soipan Tuiya, Chief Conservator of forest, Julius Kamau and Kakamega residents.

Here is how the Ministry of Transport, Housing, Infrastructure, Urban Development and Public Works is fairing after it got a new CS. The Transport CS, Kipchumba Murkomen, has been dealing with the issue of declaring public information of the SGR contract details as promised during the campaigns of Kenya Kwanza where they ensure transparency to the citizens. It was revealed that the loan amount was ksh.670B.

CS Murkomen is parallely dealing with the urgent issue of Kenya Airways pilots strike which has been ongoing since November 4th and is yet to bear fruits for the pilots whose associations, KALPA (Kenya Airline Pilots Association) and KAWU (Kenya Aviation Workers Union), have been fighting for their better pays and standards at KQ. On October 19th, KALPA issued a 14-day notice and since no engagement by KQ management was made the KALPA SG communicated that they will withdraw their labor to which a crisis is now experienced with 15 planes grounded and 10,000+ passengers affected as KQ's revenues are sliced ksh.300M each day.

Despite having a seat up between the Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Labor and KALPA where the pilots were urged to call off their strike, the latter insists that their proposals have not been addressed and will continue to exercise their constitutional rights. The efforts by the CS Transport have, however, aided in solving the temporary problem of stranded passengers where KQ is now rerouting them to other airlines. Former Nairobi Governor, Mike Sonko, has offered to be considered as an interim pilot with his training and experience while the national airline problems are being solved.

His ministry has been supported by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua who mentioned about the single unified business permits for all businesses with a pilot project set in Nairobi that will make doing business easier. He also ensured that the purpoted unified SBP will have little to no impact on revenue generation by the local county governments but will rather complement it.

CS Kuria is also in talks with trade state departments of other countries like the US while interacting with diplomats such as those from Belgium in ensuring investment in the country is fast tracked and is at top notch.

Here is how the Ministry of Education began its operations after the new CS had been approved by the Parliament. The Education CS, Ezekiel Machogu, who vowed to restore the faith of the public in the CBC education system implemented firstly in the Uhuruto government, is now proposing that public universities should no longer be funded by the government due to mismanagement of funds by the said higher institutions of learning. A move which has brought public uproar as he suggested that the institutions should utilize their available capacity on innovation, technology and research to generate extra income.

Public univerities such as Moi University, have been in the news headlines many a time with the wrong reasons. The most common being strikes where lecturers have not been paid or they complain of late payments for as long as a year's wait after they have offered their services. Another, is high pending bills to say the least. The solutions so far that were to be implemented were removal of some obsolete degree courses in those universities, reducing the number of part time lecturers or laying off some to reduce the wagebill and the MPs were looking into a system of consolidating public univerities funds to minimize its misusage while finding a sustainable state funding mechanism.

Former CS Education had earlier proposed that public univerities can opt for an increase of fees however, university students union have warned against it and that consequences may befall the universities that go with that option. Citizens complained that the recent decision of CS Machogu is a disaster in waiting that will cripple the public univerisities and insisted that even developed countries set aside funding for their univeristies especially in R&D and they thrive.

Now that the Kenya Premier League returns after the ban of football in Kenya was uplifted thanks to his negotiations with key players, CS Namwamba says that he expects integrity to be upheld with players, referees and coaches paid on time and calls upon sponsors to come out in support of the move. In matter of arts, the CS attended the 70th Anniversary of Kenya Cultural Center at the Kenya National Theatre in Nairobi where he urged stakeholders in sports and arts to be committed and ensure the industry excels.

In addition to that, CS Ababu passed his congratulatory messages to the Kenyan champs who won in the New York City Marathon in men and women races who are Evans Hebet and Sharon Lokedi respectively.

Watoto wawili wa miaka minne na mitatu mvulana na msichana wamefariki baada ya nyumba waliyokuwa ndani kuwaka moto na kuteketea katika mtaa wa Tononoka mkabala na hospitali kuu ya Pwani ya Makadara, Kaunti ya Mombasa. Moto huo ambao chanzo chake hakijajulikana umeanzia katika chumba kimoja juu ya jumba hilo la ghorofa mwendo wa saa sita mchana kabla ya sauti inayodaiwa kuwa ya mitungi ya gesi kusikika ikilipuka. Mama wa watoto hao ambaye alikuwa ametoka nje ya chumba chake kuangalia kinachojiri aliingiwa na wasiwasi na alipojaribu kurudi chumbani mwake kuwaangalia wanawe alishindwa kutokana na moshi ambao ulikuwa umeenea chumbani humo. Gavana wa Kaunti ya Mombasa, Abdulswamad Shariff, ni miongoni mwa viongozi waliofika kuwafariji wazazi wa watoto hao na wakaazi waliopoteza mali kwa mkasa huo. Weekly Bubble || Kenya: Local News
