Clinical Medicine graduates want to use "Doctor" as a title, just like other medical experts. Their association believes they deserve this recognition because they do similar work as dentists, veterinarians, and other professionals who already use this title.
Association chairman Ibrahim Kimani claims their program is as difficult as other medical degrees. These graduates diagnose sick patients, create treatment plans, give medicine, and even perform surgery exactly like doctors with MBBS degrees.
Kimani spoke at their yearly meeting in Nairobi about this issue. He mentioned how many clinical medicine graduates work as main healthcare providers in country areas. They handle the same duties as medical doctors but receive less respect...
KEMSA head Waqo Duracha promises to keep the drug supply clear and honest across Kenya. He believes every medicine shipment can save lives, making careful tracking super important. During an event sending HIV, TB, and malaria medicines to hospitals, Duracha talked about improving healthcare. He said this delivery shows how groups can work together to help patients.
KEMSA tracks all medicines with a special computer system that has won awards. This system tells them exactly where drugs go and when more are needed. "We use data to decide what medicines people need and how they move between health centers," Duracha explained. The information helps them check if patients receive good care at local clinics.
The agency watches money very...
Judge Isaac Lenaola says plans to remove Supreme Court judges must handle each case separately. He stressed that anyone trying to kick these judges out needs proof against each judge as an individual. Lenaola shared these thoughts when talking with law students at the University of Embu Moot Court before giving a public speech. He made clear that removal attempts need serious grounds rather than social media chatter.
He explained that judges take their oaths alone, not as a group. "Any claims of misconduct must be individual. When you take your oath of office, you don't take it together; you take it as yourself, and you sign your oath as yourself," Lenaola stated during the event. He added that he signed his code of conduct personally...

A judge handed a 30-year prison term to a 53-year-old cop who killed his wife with 11 bullets during an argument about a wallet and ATM card. The Eldoret High Court made this ruling for the crime committed on March 9, 2019, at the Soy police housing area in Uasin Gishu. Judge Reuben Nyakundi stated the government proved its case completely against Bernard Ndege, who broke public trust by misusing his service weapon for a home dispute instead of its intended purpose.
The couple's young nine-year-old boy stayed in the house when this happened and later testified against his father. Five police officers living nearby also gave evidence about hearing or seeing the fight just before the shooting. One officer watched them argue about the...
Police reported that Samuel Musembi killed himself Wednesday after fleeing arrest for a British businessman's murder. Musembi allegedly drove the car that moved 58-year-old Campbell Scott's body from Nairobi to Makueni county forest. He had been staying at a relative's house in Dandora, Nairobi. He asked a friend for shelter there, claiming he needed rest away from home.
The friend left for work on Tuesday morning, while Musembi stayed behind, looking anxious. When the friend came back that evening, he found his door locked from inside. He had to break it down to check inside the house.
He found Musembi on the bed with foam coming from his mouth and nose. Blood leaked from a stab wound in his neck. After telling family members what...
The Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital just became a national hospital, which brings huge benefits to Western Kenya residents. Deputy Chief of Staff Eliud Owalo praised President William Ruto for making this happen. He called it a major breakthrough that addresses what locals have wanted for years.
The hospital will see many improvements thanks to this upgrade. Patients can access better medical care without traveling far. More doctors, nurses, and staff will find jobs there. The facility will receive extra money from the national government to improve its services.
President Ruto and his Cabinet approved this change during a meeting at State House in Nairobi. The hospital, known locally as Russia Hospital, used to...
President Ruto said flood victims will be the first to receive new Social Housing. He shared this news in Njiru last Friday. The government has kept lists of every person who lost their home in last year's bad floods. They know exactly who these people are and where they lived before.
They want to build 50,000 new homes in these areas. Building will begin after teams finish cleaning the river and adding a new sewer line. The Nairobi Rivers project aims to clean up the dirty water. Workers will remove garbage, install a 60-kilometer sewer pipe, make the river deeper, and build many new houses.
President Ruto visited many places in Nairobi over five days. He launched new projects and checked on others already running. These visits...
Zimbabwe has laws that make sure people take care of their family members. These laws protect children, spouses, and other dependants who need financial support. The main law that deals with this is called the Maintenance Act, Chapter 5:09. This law gives courts the power to order someone to pay money for the upkeep of their dependants.
Maintenance means providing money for basic needs like food, clothes, shelter, medical care, and education. When people don't voluntarily support their family members, the law steps in to make sure everyone gets what they need to live properly.
The Maintenance Act helps many Zimbabweans get the financial support they deserve. It creates a system where people can ask the courts to order maintenance...
