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.

During a meeting called on Monday by the County Commissioner to prepare for the impending Presidential visit, A member of National Assembly, a women Rep and a speaker categorically objected the planned visit by the Head of State, saying that there were no funds to build the Chuka town roads. In the recorded conversation, the MP says that there are no funds from the central government and the president shall not come to launch the project. He is quickly told off by the area MP who advises him to talk on behalf of his constituency alone which he has continued to mismanage and let Chuka be. The governor rises to object the presidential visit and vows never to show up or participate in the planning since he was not consulted or invited. He too, is quickly shut down by Chuka VC who produces letters of invitation and reads them to a shocked audience. An embarrassed governor acknowledges the letters but still not content with the President launching the project. Some of the people in the room are disturbed by the comments made by the leadership and noise can be heard from the clip. The county leadership also insist that the Chuka township roads are under them, not Nairobi. The meeting ends in a huff and the objectors quickly retreat to Nairobi for "further" consultations. They quickly learn that plans were at an advanced stage and there efforts to reach the Head of State fail. They result to writing to the President through his advisors demanding that the president does not commission the tarmacking of Chuka town, and all of them sign the said letter. The outcome of this will be known later today
