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.

Gem MP, Jakoyo Midiwo, has sensationally said all Kikuyus have been engulfed with fear ahead of the return of former Prime Minister, Raila Odinga, to the country on Saturday.

The Saturday’s rally will coincide with the homecoming party of Raila Odinga who is currently in Dubai enroute from US, where he was attending a political forum at Boston University.
