    "content": "The other day I was on Ngong Road to check something. I stopped by a Jua Kali area where artisans do their things. Unfortunately, at the same place where they work, there is a sewer with a lot of dirt around the place. That was on Ngong Road leave alone Kibera, Mukuru kwa Njenga, Mathare and many parts of this country. It is time we woke up as a nation. The reason why we have many queer and peculiar diseases afflicting our people is because we do not take seriously the responsibility of ensuring that we prevent diseases from happening from the source. I am told one of the greatest successes of Cuba as a country, and I think that is why they donate doctors to other countries, is because they do not wait for patients to go to hospitals. Instead, doctors and community health workers go to the community and deal with health issues from the homesteads. In this country, a big corporation like the KPC does not take seriously the issue of health. We have oil spillage everywhere and Kenyans just watch other Kenyans mixing petroleum products. Who does not know that if you go to Mai Mahiu, before you reach the town, there is a corner where lorries enter and get out but it is not an official road. Drivers of lorries enter there and syphon diesel, if they have, and add paraffin to their vehicles and continue with the journey. It is normal for us to see adulteration of fuel and other things that can cause havoc in our country but we do nothing about it.
