what pres Putin said is a bitter pill that must be swallowed. apart from south Africa, Egypt tunisa,Morocco ,Algeria and Rwanda of re
sent. which other state in Africa have good hospitals?

being blind and being patriotic are two ends of a long line.

http://www.africanzeal.com/best-rated-hospitals-africa/

1) it's a mentality issue. People always believe they'll find better healthcare abroad.
2) Most of the time you find that the best hospitals in Africa are more expensive than being treated abroad (+ air travel and accommodation) e.g a procedure might cost 2 million in a good hospital in Africa.. While in a place like India same procedure could cost 500k, so going abroad might actually save the guy 1m ..

The solution to African healthcare is not about good doctors or good hospital... The whole system is broken right from the clinic/dispensary level..
If clinics/dispensaries at the village/street level can be well resources to serve and treat all the preventable diseases then the big hospitals at the district/regional/national level can be relieved and let to concentrate on research, diagnostic and complex procedures... But what happens in most African countries is hospitals at district/regional and even at National level (level 4 & 5 hospitals) are overwhelmed treating patients with common diseases that are supposed to be treated at a local dispensary near you. The good doctors don't like being misused, they leave public healthcare unsearchable of greener pastures in private or foreign hospitals out of reach for common folks. Not to forget the brain drain of specialists doctors.

Any Kenyan here noticed that in every unit(especially Administration police guarding banks or escorting cash) there is a couple of police officers with new rifles?

The project will see the over 65,000 general duty police officers and their 25,000 border patrol and anti-stock theft unit counterparts armed with the latest model of weapons.
Early this year, both Kenya Police Service (KPS) and Administration Police Service (APS) started receiving new Spanish made CZ Scorpion EVO 3 A1 airsoft rifles and Belgian-made FN SCAR rifles to replace the aging and cumbersome German-made G3 and MP5 rifles.

Police spokesman Charles Owino says the government has put in a lot of money for police modernisation, mostly in technology and weaponry to the advantage of officers, especially in preventive and investigative capacities.
“The world is changing and therefore the need for law enforcement agencies to embrace the change and move with speed,” Owino says.
In as from February this year, police officers on patrol, at roadblocks and those guarding strategic buildings and institutions have been armed with either beige or black fold-able butt semi-automatic guns that are more convenient and practical either on crowded streets or rural areas.
Introduced in 2009, the CZ Scorpion EVO 3 A1 is a 9mm select fire variant, making it a semi-automatic sub-machine gun. It is a prototype of the Slovakian Laugo sub-machine gun.
Described as simple and reliable, the 26.5 inches long gun gives the user select fire switch from semi-automatic, three round bursts or fully automatic.
It is said to be a highly accurate 1,100-rounds-per-minute weapon perfect for hostage rescue and SWAT missions or special operations.

clearly someone wanted to make themselves feel better by making stuff up.inshort. the countries mentioned up there (in that order) are the ones you envy/hate the most. SA is africas most advanced conomy so obviously they arent lazy, Kenya is 3rd most literate country in sub sahara Africa after Zimbabwe and Sa, not to forget standards of living and inflation in kenya are way better than nigeria, ghana is the most democratic country in africa, the level of equality for men and women is way better. while nigera leads africa in inequality, those living under $1 a day in nigeria are more than the entire populations of any of those three countries mentioned, its not news to hear of a bus load of nigerian women bieng deported from italy, spain,france.. and other eu countries for prostitution, you watch rose kent documentary of immigrants desparatly trying to cross the sahara then mediterenia to europe and 80% of the migrants had originated from nigeria, n then sm1 has the guts to make a list of countries!

Uhuru has said nothing either, just beating around the bush...

This was the conversation btn Trump and Uhuru during a joint conference to the media..
B4 they went inside for a bilateral meeting..



PRESIDENT TRUMP : Well, thank you very much. We are with President Kenyatta of a wonderful country that we do a lot of business with, Kenya. One of the most beautiful countries, from what I understand, Mr. President.
We have lots of pictures and lots of people that tell me how beautiful your country is. And we do a lot of tourism. We do a lot of trade. And we do a lot of defense and security. And we’re working very much on security right now. And I appreciate you very much being with us and your staff. This is really great. Your representatives have been dealing with our representatives and making a lot of progress. We’re talking about a very major highway/roadway. And that seems to be going along well. That’s a very important project, I think, for your country.
And so we appreciate, very much, you being at the White House and being with us. And we look forward to the discussion.
Thank you very much.
PRESIDENT KENYATTA: Thank you very much. And thank you for your warm welcome. As you said, we’ve had strong relations that stretch back — all the way back to our own independence. And we are here to cement that partnership. We are here to strengthen the support we have received as a country, especially with regards to our security and defense cooperation has been immense.
I had a good opportunity to speak with Mike, both in his former capacity and his current capacity. (Laughter.) And we work very well together, and I want to take this opportunity to appreciate that.
But more importantly, even as we work on these aspects, what’s most important and what makes our country survive is the trade and investment partnership. I mean, this is really what we should work to deepen much more as we go forward.
So I’m really looking forward to this discussion, and I’m looking forward to seeing how we take our relationship now to the next level —
PRESIDENT TRUMP : Good.
PRESIDENT KENYATTA: — for the mutual benefit of our two peoples.
PRESIDENT TRUMP : Well, you are here on a very special day because the stock market is up almost 300 points today. We just signed a trade agreement with Mexico, and it’s a terrific agreement for everybody. It’s been in the works for a long time. It’s an agreement that a lot of people said couldn’t be done, and we did something, and it was very special. Great for our farmers, our workers.
And our stock market just broke 26,000 for the first time ever in the history. So today we have the highest stock price we’ve ever had. And we’re very happy about that. I said that was going to happen and it’s happened. Everything I said is going to happen, it ends up happening.
So you picked a good day to come. (Laughter.) We’re in a very good mood.
PRESIDENT KENYATTA: Well, let’s hope you’re going to transfer some of that into Kenya. (Laughter.)
PRESIDENT TRUMP : We’ll bring that over to Kenya. (Laughter.) Thank you very much, everybody. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you.

kikuyu11:
I spent 4 years here in Nyahururu 2010-2015 and in July it can go as low as 5c. Just before I landed smth very strange happened. An 800 m long by 2 m thick ice block fell out the sky and landed 2 k outside the town! Not snow,not hail or slush but a GIANT FCKVING ICE BLOCK. It took a month and a half to melt and the farm owner discovered his ten pancaked cows underneath. Nobody ever explained the mechanics of the situation and its never happened before in living memory.

hahaha, I hate the cold so much I plan my holidays during July. . I dont know how ppl survive. I was not built for that isht

And here I thought Nairobi was cold this season... Nyandarua county is a freezer (relatively speaking) ... this cimes after the extreem flooding we had from April, and before that we had extreem drought for almost the whole of last year....

newafricaken254:
kenya police airwing helicopter fleet will eventually number 11,they are await two more helicopter.my suspicion is most of this crushes are likely human,kenya airforce has bought both chinese and russian helicopters and soon after lost one of those choppers.afterward there has always being claims that those choppers were inferior or secondhand.but i have come to conclude this was due to poorly experienced helicopters.considering the high level of nepotism among security apparatus,this has to be the issue.also consider most african militaries source ab initio training from abroad and soon after required the pilot to fly a helicopter.which he/she isn't type rated to fly

Apart from that, their is also the issue of brain drain of skilled personel... as much as 30% of Kenya airways pilots and mechanics started their initial training under the police airwing dept... another 40% of Kenya airways pilots and engeneers have come from Kenya airforce.... And then the ridiculous thing is that after years of experience the skilled pilots leave Kenya airways to work for middle eastern cariers who are happy to pay them handsomely

Kenya police 3 choppers and one trainer. purcharsed for $40m

EMW01:
I hope that a serious audit of the military is conducted because despite the increase in allocation there is no major weapon systems that have been acquired. Most of the acquisitions have been donations from friendly countries. I suspect that serious graft and corruption is likely to be uncovered.

If you wanna know which ministry is more corrupt just read the Auditor Generals report. .. Of all the ministries and state departments, DoD looses the least amount of money relatively speaking... I am however curious to know what they have done with their "modernisation kitty" apart from the change from G3 to M4 cabine I haven't seen any significant purchase. ..maybe they are saving up for something. .. The police have just bought 4 new choppers with their modernisation kitty from lzst year and a year b4 that rhey bought some 40 APCs

Kenya military budget now $1.07B. and internal security (police) now $1.4B... this includes about $150m each for police and military 'mordernisation'.

long time since I posted...

anyway, I was reading up on the upcoming budget reading in Kenya,

The Naitional Intelligence Service NIS in
2016/17 recieved $200million budget.
2017/18 they got $240million ....

and for this year 2018/19 budget they are goung to get $310million... http://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/business/Kenya-releases-eye-popping-USD31-billion-budget/2560-4605770-g83ou1z/index.html


looks like by the year 2020 these guys would have crossed the half a billion dollar mark.. Its great to see that as a result of budgetary increase, no terrorist attack had happened in any major city/town for the last 3 years... whats left now is border security

Another good catch


A multi-agency security team dismantled an al Shabaab camp at Ijara, Garissa county after a raid on Wednesday.

They recovered two loaded pistol magazines, combat knives, assorted medicines and syringes, a hand held radio, and tarpaulin among other items.

The raid came after a tip off from members of the public who approached the security agents.

Residents of Boni and the surrounding areas have increased their support for the troops operating in the area.

Officers also recovered drugs at the camp after confessions from returnees that al Shabaab militants are extremely abusing drugs and alcohol.



/COURTESY

The returnees said the militants also sexually abuse women from the neighbouring communities.

In September 2017, KDF troops seized ponographic DVDs, alcohol and drugs after raiding an al Shabaab camp inside Boni forest.

Later in the year, packets of condoms were washed off from Jilib - an Shabaab stronghold, after flash floods had hit Somalia.

After the raid, Sheikh Noor Farah from Ijara said: "It is either we cooperate with the police or allow al Shabaab to turn our town into a sex and drug den."

He said the community has resolved to smoke out the militants from the area.



/COURTESY

Last month, reports emerged of how the militants in Somalia are extorting huge sums from starving communities.

The militants are also forcibly recruiting hundreds of children as soldiers and suicide bombers.

This comes as the terror group endures financial pressures, a decrease in numbers and an apparent crisis of morale.

Intelligence documents, transcripts of interrogations from recent defectors, and interviews conducted on returnees by security agents confirm the situation.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has begun an overhaul of the operations of units across the country.

Apart from massive transfers for Divisional Criminal Investigations officers and 700 other officers, the directorate is now targeting graduate police officers to join its newly formed Public Crime Advisory Team at the headquarters on Kiambu Road, Nairobi.

READ: Dreaded police Flying Squad to be reconstituted

The team, according to the Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti, will undergo local and international training to enable them deal with emerging crimes.

“We have had several squads that deal with armed robberies, special crimes, homicides and terrorism, but we need a proactive team to deal with cybercrime, human trafficking, misuse of ICT gadgets, banking fraud and corruption,” Mr Kinoti said.

“Crimes keep changing as technology advances, that’s why we need a competent team to deal with them,” he said.

APPRAISAL
On Thursday, Mr Kinoti recalled all graduates working under the DCI for interviews at the headquarters.

The graduates were tested by local and international detectives on forensics, ballistics, economic crimes and land fraud.

“The graduates were vetted to identify what units they would best fit in,” he said. https://www.nation.co.ke/news/DCI-targets-graduate-officers-for-new-crime-prevention-unit/1056-4357532-3royi9z/index.html

Military bomb experts have detonated an old rocket propelled grenade found at a car wash in Nakuru Town West.

Resident Wycliffe Nyaoga said he noticed the device at the car wash in Kaptembwa estate while farming.

"I had been digging a trench to plant cabbages when I saw it. I decided to pose and take photos with it because it had an awesome shape," he said.

The 30-year-old said he had never seen such a device so he did not think he was in any danger.

"I took several photos before residents started milling around. After a few minutes, they started talking in low tones, saying it may have been a grenade. That's when I realised my life was in danger and ran away like a frightened antelope."

Salute to the security services

Those AKs look new

And here I thought the worst was behind us... Only to be reminded , "you snooze, you get boomed! "

Kenyan Inspector General of Police, Joseph Boinnet, on Wednesday, revealed chilling details of the recent foiled terror attack, which is said to be one of the most successful arrests in recent times. The terror suspects arrested in Isiolo last month, one of whom had booked a hotel room for almost a week near the Central Police Station, were targeting the Judiciary buildings and a government installation. Mr Boinnet said that the vehicle with registration number KBM 200D that was seized from the suspects in Merti, Isiolo County, was laden with approximately 80kg of high-grade Trinitrotoluene (TNT) explosives. The police boss revealed that the vehicle, which would have been used as a Suicide Vehicle Bound Explosive Device (SVBIED), was set to be driven to Nairobi and would have killed hundreds of innocent civilians. A police investigation revealed that one of the suspects, Abdimajit Adan, 24, had booked a hotel room near the Central Police Station 10 days earlier, and only travelled to Merti on the day he was arrested, leaving a note to the hotel management pleading for them to reserve the same room for him because he would be back. He was arrested alongside Mohammed Nane on Thursday, February 15, after a brief exchange of fire. Police found five AK-47 assault rifles, 1,099 rounds of ammunition, and 36 fully loaded magazines in their car. A third suspect was killed at the scene in Yamincha, while two others escaped. It emerged after the vehicle was towed to Nairobi for scrutiny that the suspects had laced it with eight projectiles and shrapnel materials around its body. Each of the ranged weapon, according to Mr Boinnett, contains approximately 10kg of TNT. The shrapnel in it include ball bearings meant to maximise causalities when it explodes. The police boss said if the terrorists had been successful, the SVBIED would have caused a high magnitude explosion that would have brought down a building frontal structure while the explosion wave would have killed hundreds of Kenyans. An expert attached to the Bomb and Hazardous Disposal Unit explained that just a kilogramme of TNT can cause destruction in up to 11 metres radius from the epicentre. The recovered explosives weighed 100kg in total. The objective of the destruction and murder, the police boss said, was to spread fear, attract attention of local, regional and international media and to embarrass government security forces so that they overreact and appear repressive. The police had three days after arresting the suspects in Merti, nabbed two more suspects and found them with receipts of two motorcycles.

Gullible ones on nairaland
The real news is Mr Rex Tillerson fell in in Nairobi Kenya and had to cut short his trip and return to the US for treatment

He has been staying indoors in Kenya for the last 3 days until he felt better then continued with his planned schedule .

Yesterday he was still in Kenya

gbosaa:
That was a dangerous and unsafe way of treating such a patient. There was no need to open the skull. Intervention should’ve been through the femoral artery guided by fluoroscopy. He shouldn’t have relied on pre scan alone.

whether to open or not depends on the type of clot -which neither you or I have access to the patients scans, the clot could have been just below the dura which would requite drilling a small hole on the skull, or in some cases is the clot is severe enough it would require doing a craniotomy which involves opening the skull, from the story, the patient was brought in unconscious which probably mean the clot was very severe

gbosaa:
They need to review their management. Identification of patients is very important before any intervention. Patient’s name, date of birth and address are established to make sure the right patient is being treated.Even in trauma situations or when the patient is unable to confirm their identity, there should be a tag with vital and identification details to differentiate patients who might have similar names.

The Kenyan doctors goofed big time on this. How do you open up someone’s cranium without being guided by fluoroscopy? They should’ve reviewed the imaging done on the patient or done a new one. They can’t possibly open up someone’s skull expecting to see thrombosis...incompetent phools.

they had same last name, the mistake here is that the name tags of the patient were put on the wrong patient,so the doctor came picked up a chart read the diagnosis, saw the imaging scans of the named person on the chart,.... Only later to discover he had read the wrong patients chart/scans.. the surgeon is not at fault here, intact, he was competent enough to discover that there was no clot in the brain of the patient on the table like it had showed in the MRI scans, the one at fault is the nurse who put the wrong chart at the wrong patient
