Police arrested blogger and former NTV journalist Yassin Juma on Saturday night. Juma, who has over the past week blogged about the Al Shabaab attack on the African Union Mission in Somalia’s (AMISOM) El Adde base, is currently being detained at Muthaiga police station.
Sources privy to the investigation have confirmed the arrest, adding that Juma will be arraigned in court on Monday.
Shortly after the news of his arrest hit social media, the hash tag #FreeYassinJuma shot to the top of the trend with many social media users asking for his immediate release.
When we bury the TRUTH and continue dancing around it in falsehoods, it will eventually germinate and catch up with us. #FreeYassinJuma

Just one day after the Friday attack on the El Adde base, Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Ole Nkaissery has warned Kenyans against sending alarming pictures and messages about the El Adde ambush.
Speaking in Mombasa, the CS said that those found sharing such images will be arrested.
The retired Major General stated that posting alarming images and content served to further the Al Shabaab’s fear-mongering agenda.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor.

We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone.
