Interesting things to know about the towel

How often do you wash your towel? Some people wash once a week, while some, once a year. The towel is a fertile breeding ground for millions of microbes, especially those found on human skin and on the gut.  No wonder the towel is one of the objects that facilitate fecal-oral contamination (literally connecting the two ends of the gut).  Worse still, most people keep towels in the bathroom (near the toilet). Every flush of the toilet sends mist with millions of microbes, ranging from H.pylori,  salmonella and other deadly bacteria and viruses. When you wash your hands ready for a meal, and dry them with your body towel, there's high chance you are directly ingesting your fecal matter, or, if in a shared lavatory, someone else's faeces. Unless cleaned well, viruses such as human papillomavirus (causes warts, anal cancer and cervical cancer) can be transmitted when towels are shared with infected individuals. So, what to do? 1.

KENYA WILL STAY IN ICC WHETHER UHURU KENYATTA AND WILLIAM RUTO LIKE IT OR NOT.These illiterate MPs led by Dualeought to read the Constitution ofKenya. The National Assembly has no constitutional capacity to pull Kenya out of the ICC. Only the people can pull Kenya out of the ICC in a referendum. Article 255 (1) of the Constitution of Kenya says ‘a proposed amendment to this Constitution shall be enacted in accordance with Article 256 or 257, and approved in accordance with clause (2) by a referendum, if the amendment relates to any of the following matters - (a) the supremacy of this Constitution;’ etc. The article on supremacy of the constitution is Article 2 which states‘ (5) The general rules of international law shall form part of the law of Kenya. (6) Any treaty or convention ratified by Kenya shall form part of the law of Kenya under thisConstitution.Kenya ratified the Rome Statute,which is a treaty. The country can therefore only withdraw from the Rome Statute by Kenyans voting in a referendum to pull out. Furthermore, the Rome Statute commits Kenya to respect general rules of international law, which include protection of people from crimes against humanity, genocide and war crimes. Parliament has absolutely no power to alter our commitments in the Rome Statute.Kenya belongs to all Kenyans, not to Uhuru or Ruto. If they committed crimes against humanity, then they deserve to be in prison. If they are innocent, they have nothing to fear and they will be acquitted. We must oppose Jubilee Coalition plans to pull Kenya out of the ICC, a very important institution for international law beneficial to Kenya now and in posterity. If they want Kenya out of the ICC, let us have a referendum for all Kenyans to decide whether to stay in ICC or not. I'm confident Kenyans will vote overwhelmingly to stay in ICC.
