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.

Kenyans in Diaspora tell UHURU/ RUTO and Kenyans to celebrate because RAILA ODINGA’s US visit is yielding fruits
Kenyans living in the US and Canada have faulted the Government of President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto, for questioning the visit by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who was invited to attend a forum at Boston University, Massachusetts, to speak alongside former Presidents about Kenya and Africa. Speaking yesterday, Kenyans in Diaspora, led by Gordon Teti, asked President Uhuru Kenyatta, his Deputy William Ruto and Kenyans back home to celebrate and embrace Raila’s visit to the US, because his visit is doing Kenya more good than bad. He said Raila is promoting Kenya’s image abroad pretty well and his one month long stay in the US will yield so much for Kenya. Teti urged Kenyans to emulate Tanzanians who are celebrating and praising Mr. Fredrick Sumaye, the Tanzanian Prime Minister, who was invited together with Raila Odinga to the US, for doing their country proud and selling Tanzania’s image abroad. “While some ignorant individuals in Kenya were questioning why Raila Odinga is promoting the image of Kenya in the US, Tanzanians are praising and applauding Mr. Samaye for doing exactly that for their country”, noted Teti.
