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.

Please try to be a bit fair to Uhuru. The hard truth is that he paid Ruto upfront and the deputy presidency was just a bonus for him to use to convince "his" people that he was genuine. The truth of the matter was that power was Uhuru's and his fellow Kikuyus. And Ruto know it. That is why when he took Uhuru to Eldoret some time back after Alfred Keter had started complaining of being short changed, Uhuru told them in broad daylight that they should give him a chance to employ his people while Ruto awaits his chance after 10 years. The coded language in that statement was that Uhuru owed Kalenjins nothing in this government. Actually Ruto supported Uhuru for making that statement and they started twisting things ati Kalenjins should stop demanding every position since other tribes also need those positions. In fact, Ruto right hand man who has since gone mute, a Mr Murkomen, said that if Kalenjins demanded everything, the Karamojong would not get anything. Now they wanted to pretend that they were mindful of the Karamojong who everybody knows does not feature anywhere in Kenya's political lexicon. The truth is that Ruto had pocketed the money and now has to find ways of convincing "his" people that he was genuinely concerned about their welfare and believed that it could be best served under Uhuru/Ruto government. I am glad Kalenjins have smelt the coffee and voluble ones like Murkomen, Charles Keter, Kutuny and others have all gone mute. Let Ruto sort them out. Uhuru already met his part of the bargain. If Ruto conned "his" people, that is his own cup of tea. Not Uhuru's. By George Njoroge
