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).

Bearing flags of Kenya and Africa Union, Raila Odinga attended his first meeting as High Representative for Infrastructural Development in Kenyan soil on Tuesday.

"I visited exhibition stands at the Blue Economy Conference together with H.E President @UKenyatta and also had a chance to meet President Danny Faure of Seychelles."https://twitter.com/RailaOdinga/status/1067384833645715456?s=19.

Since his handshake with President Uhuru Kenyatta on March this year, Odinga is a regular visitor at State House with his latest trip coming last week when Mozambique President Filipe Nyusi visited.
