Lockdown Grace period in Kenya

Due to complains raised by kenyans on sudden lockdownnof some counties,the government has give a grace period. They are given twenty four hours to have travelled to their destinations. Kenyan citizens have welcomed the move. However, some feel that the decisions were hurriedly made.

Learning institutions have been closed down. The question is, how will the students move from the areas that have been locked down to their homes which are in different parts of the country? Some feel he could have given them time to reach home before locking down the areas.

Churches closed in kenya due to a surge of Covid-19 infections

Oops! We are in it once again! Last year, the government banned all gatherings including the churches. After a long period we were happy to go back to our worship places.

The country has been experiencing increase in Covid-19 infections where the number of people infected is increasing day by day. This has made the President to revert the rules.

Curfew hours have been increased. All gathering have been stopped. Hotels and bars closed. This did not spare the churches. And so we are at home catching live events from the social media…thanks to internet!

Kenya’s Covid-19 Third Wave

When coronavirus knocked, we thought it was just for sometime. This was never to be. In kenya we are now experiencing the third wave which seems to be more dangerous. Children are back home for a long holiday. This makes the parents even more worried.

Most of the hospitals are full to capacity for new admissions and when one gets lucky, they are quoting very high admission fee leaving most of the citizens helpless.

Number of people infected with the virus has really increased. People, on the other hand have ignored following the Covid-19 protocals. We are worried how things will end.

Will the vaccine help? We have to wait and see….is the virus still a thorn in the flesh where you come from?… Kindly share how you are working on mitigation……I will appreciate reading it in your comment.

House girl stubs boss’ children

A house girl in Nairobi brought her threats to reality. This happened after her boss terminated her contract due to some misunderstanding making her unhappy and threatened to harm the children.

True to her words, she stubbed the two kids leaving them with serious injuries. She also threatened the new house girl who tried to save the children from the horror.

Sources say that she later boarded a bus to Busia. Not getting to her destiny, she was apprehended on her way at Eldoret town. The girl had been employed for two years with good salary. She was bitter but her action left many puzzled.

Parents, let’s be a bit vigilant!… Let’s chat as we comment on how we can improve our children’s security.

Mutahi Kagwe, Cabinet Secretary for Health, makes a worrying announcement

The CS has broadly expressed his fear on the rise of the number of people suffering from coronavirus. He declares that the country is experiencing the third wave of the pandemic which can be more dangerous than the previous.

He pleads with all citizens to be extra careful and follow the regulations as given by Ministry of Health.

Next Governor for Nairobi County

Kenyan politics have been taking a new perspective as those who have been accused of misappropriately handling public office have been thrown out of the offices.

The government isn’t leaving any stone unturned on cases related to corruption. This has caused impeachment of government officers including those in higher offices.

The Kiambu governor was one of the first governors to be impeached. Later the Nairobi governor is out too.

The interesting thing is that Honourable Waititu, former Kiambu county governor, who was impeached due to corruption cases now has been cleared to run for the governor seat to replace Honourable Sonko, former Nairobi governor.

Miguna Miguna who was exiled from Kenya and now lives in Canada is also eyeing for the same seat. He said recently that he will be running for Nairobi Governor position.

Will kenyans be willing to vote these people in? Still waiting to see how things will unfold. For more posts, see them here. For upcoming insights, remember to follow.

The girls who went missing

The stay at home for school going children has brought a big problem to teenagers’ parents. No matter how much they try to keep them safe, it becomes difficult as most of the time parents are out to make ends meet to better their families.

Teenagers are taking advantage of the situation. They are having enough time to do what they like most.

The worst comes with the use of cellphones which are used to make all the plans. To make it worse, the use of social media where these kids find people who are ready to prey on them. Without their knowledge, they find themselves in awkward situations which sometimes became very difficult to come out of.

Dating sites, nude pictures, drug use and other vices are introduced to them through the social groups. They do it too well that by the end of some chats, the kid is lured to all the evil plans.

I don’t demonize the social media, these phones are used for important communication too, like teachers do communicate through the class WhatsApp groups. Assignments, and online classes are done using the same.

The question is, how and where do we draw the line?

Six teenage girls in Nairobi were not spared either. They had been missing for about a week until yesterday when they were found.

As much as our girls are not innocent, they are still minors and those who are taking advantage on them should be brought to book!

Let’s protect the girl child!

Virtual Library -Ciscasquapro

Good news!

What a relief from the hustle and bustle of the city!

What’s your take?

What next for Kenya

Nairobi, Mombasa and Mandera in kenya have been under lockdown for sometimes now. Today, President Uhuru lifted the lockdown but maintained the curfew hours.

• 

It is expected that most of the people who were locked in Nairobi will now find their way to rural area where they have really missed to be. Life at the city has been hard to many since the strike of the pandemic.

Some lost their jobs and they are unable to feed their families. They prefer sending children and wives to countryside where there is plenty of food.

The worry is, as this large number migrate from towns to rurals, there is a possibility of the virus spreading even more. Moreover, most of the aged parents are in rurals and they are at a greater risk contracting the virus as they welcome their relatives from town.

• 

On the other hand, those in transport business will have something to smile for. People will rush to be out of town as soon as possible, therefore ,increasing their revenue. Since the Nairobi lockdown, most of the vehicles have been parked with nothing to do. You can also see my previous post on traveling.

Still waiting to see how things will unfold….feel free to leave a comment…Do visit my other posts here. For future post …. follow.

A simple lesson learnt from a fan…watch this

Impact of Covid 19 on traveling-ciscasquapro

Coming and going out of Nairobi has been prohibited for several weeks now. The pandemic has come with strict rules that people were not used to. Most people who come from counties neighbouring Nairobi had their program changed drastically.

Most of them used to go to upcountry every weekend which is not possible right now. They are left with the option of communicating through phone calls or social media platforms. The situation is so disappointing as many were used to visit their loved ones any time they felt like. No traveling now and Stay At Home – is the slogan that everybody should adhere to.Transport industry has also been affected especially those ‘matatus’ that were used to ferry people to and from Nairobi.
