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. Launder towels once a week. 2. Use hot water and det...
Recent events and pronouncements by politicians, more so from the Jubilee Coalition, point to a well orchestrated move to shove Tobiko out of office. This is the same script that was used to remove Matemu from the Ethics and Anti corruption Commission (EACC). The only difference is the hunted. The hunters are the same - and as to who they are, ask Irene Keino and Dr. Rachel Onsongo. And so, what's the problem or objective of this well objective. First, and this is a great sin, Tobiko has lived to his promise during his vetting to be independent and non partisan on discharging his duties as the Public Prosecutor. That means that some big fishes are unlikely to have him do their bidding. Is you don't believe this, ask Engineer Kamau. During his late mother's funeral, Dr Kamau gave a hint on the source of his woes. Second, Tobiko is accused of not taking instructions from EACC to prosecute or acquit. He has pointed to the shoddy job by both EACC and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). Of all the files passed to the DPP, only under a handful have ended up in court. Of these, a good number could be dismissed by the courts. Remember about a list of over 175 suspected of corruption was passed to the H.E. the President by EACC. Three, there was mention of soon presenting the Anglo Leasing cases to court. Is someone trying to prepare a way of sanitizing the cases through official acquittal and closing the cases. If so, then Tobiko could be seen as a stumbling block given his demonstrated independence. So far, they are in a position to influence shoddy investigations at the EACC, after getting rid of Matemu, and at the DCI. what is left is to have a friendly DPP. And they're vicious. Is Tobiko likely to be lured to quit on a promise of appointment to ambassadorial position? Would he rather wait like Irene Keino and Matemu? Only time will tell.
