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.

A section of disgruntled Kalenjin leaders have accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of setting up Deputy President William Ruto, to Al-Shabaab while he acquires armored vehicles to protect himself from them. The leaders led by outspoken Nandi Hills MP, Alfred Keter, demanded that Uhuru Kenyatta purchases armored vehicles for the Deputy President like the ones he recently acquired in the spirit of 50/ 50 power sharing to protect him from Al-Shabaab as well. Keter said Ruto is not immune to Al-Shabaab and as principal in Jubilee Government, he may be a target for the Al-Shabaab after Uhuru and his Government refused to pull KDF out of Somalia. The Nandi Hills legislator said Uhuru is lying to Ruto to keep KDF in Somalia to anger the Al-Shabaab while he himself acquires anti-missile and bullet proof vehicles to protect himself. “Ruto is being cheated by Uhuru to maintain KDF in Somalia while he buys armored cars to protect himself and leaving him exposed. Ruto is not immune to Al-Shabaab and should be bought armoured vehicles too,” said Keter. Keter noted that Uhuru’s recent move is suspect and could know something that Ruto doesn’t and as such the Deputy President should be extra careful. The Kenyan DAILY POST
