CS for Health Duale unveiled the nationwide Biometric Health Identification (BHI) system alongside three other key digital innovations at Kenyatta University Teaching, Research and Referral Hospital (KUTRRH), marking a major milestone in transforming Kenya's healthcare through the Digital Superhighway and the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).

The four innovations launched include:

1. Biometric Health ID (BHI) – Enables secure, document-free access to care using fingerprints, cutting fraud, paperwork and wait times.

2. Practise360 App – Geo-fenced tool to curb misuse of medical pre-authorizations.

3. National Product Catalogue – Blocks fake drugs by ensuring only verified medicines are used.

4. Health Information Exchange (HIE) – Enables secure sharing of patient data across facilities and counties.

Already rolled out in Level 4–6 hospitals, biometric registration is expanding to Levels 2 and 3, with 24 counties now adopting Hospital Management Information Systems (HMIS).

Also noted that 99% of walk-in patients at KUTRRH are enrolled in SHA, with 29 biometric devices active.

The Ministry will launch a pharmaceutical Track-and-Trace system next month and enhance digital oversight through KMPDC to w**d out fraudulent facilities under Taifa Care.

These digital tools mark a new era of efficient, transparent and patient-focused healthcare delivery.

GALANA KULALU Project in Kenya is a 1Million acre large-scale irrigation development initiative aimed to enhance food security & promote economic growth.

The project is being implemented through a PPP arrangement and is objectivized to meet 41% of Kenya's annual consumption needs.

Selu Limited was allocated 20,000 acres and has already injected Ksh 12.5 billion into the project with aims of producing 720,000 bags of maize and 160,000 bags of soya annually.

Driven by partnerships and investments, there's a possible allocation of up to 800,000 acres to companies from italy and UAE.

Some 500 acres are already developed for feasibility assessment and 700 acres used for seed maize production, targeting 3,200 acres by October and 5,000 acres by February 2026.

GOV’T RAISES SUGARCANE PRICE AGAIN, NEW RATE SET AT KSHS. 5,750 PER TONNE

We have once again revised the minimum sugarcane price upwards, raising it from Kshs. 5,500 to Kshs. 5,750 per tonne, just three months after the last increase, which had seen the price move from Kshs. 5,250 to Kshs. 5,500 per tonne in April.

The latest Kshs. 250 increment was approved by the 4th Interim Sugarcane Pricing Committee after reviewing ex-factory sugar prices for the April to June period. The new price took effect on July 21, 2025.

In an official communication to sugar millers, PS, Dr. Kipronoh Ronoh Paul,CBS directed all players to implement the new minimum price immediately and ensure timely payments to farmers.

“The Committee approved an increase in the price of cane from the current Kshs. 5,500.00 per tonne to Kshs. 5,750.00 per tonne, effective 21st July 2025,” read the letter signed by the PS.

The back-to-back price adjustments underscore our responsiveness to the concerns of cane growers, who have been grappling with rising input costs and delayed payments. The committee, formed in January 2025, held its second meeting on July 17 to arrive at the new rate.

CS Sen. Mutahi Kagwe, who has been leading reforms in the sector, was copied in the correspondence. The CS has repeatedly emphasized the government’s resolve to stabilize the sugar industry through price reviews and better farmer support.

The latest review brings the total increment within the last four months to Kshs. 500 per tonne, a 9.5% rise from April, offering a much-needed boost to sugarcane farmers across western Kenya.

George Natembeya to DAP-K Party: A LIFE SUPPORT MACHINE.

DAP-K party survives solely because of Natembeya’s presence, voice, and influence.

Without Natembeya, DAP-K would be reduced to a shell: lifeless, forgotten, and irrelevant party. As we Bukusus call it LIKUBILI.

Natembeya, whether by design or circumstance, is the critical lifeline holding up systems that would otherwise collapse without them.

That is the blunt truth.

By Kuloba Davies

The advantage of having an accountant as the Cabinet Secretary for Treasury is that accountants aren’t theoretical idealists like economists. They deal in facts, not conjecture. To them, numbers are not opinions. They are facts. Numbers must reflect reality.

If you give me a budget of Ksh100 and instruct me to distribute it among 50 people, and then insist each person must receive Ksh10, I’ll tell you to get lost and come back with an extra Ksh400.

If all you have is Ksh100, each of the 50 people will walk away with just Ksh2. That’s simple arithmetic.

Daktari Ruto addressed this very issue. You allocate Ksh100 to be shared by 50 people and expect each to receive Ksh10? Are you mad? Only his current CS had the courage to call out the numbers for what they are.

Yet, when someone does the right thing based on the figures at hand, everyone flares up with emotion. Why doesn’t Parliament act on CS Mbadi’s sensible proposal: consolidate all bursary allocations into the school capitation fund. That way, bursaries become unnecessary and the shortfall is addressed. But does parliament want to do that? You would be taking away their political tool.

Daktari Ruto applied the same logic to university education. Costing for higher education was last properly done in “19-0-Kamande.” For years, institutions received funding based on outdated figures; then were expected to operate under 2022-2027 cost realities. Again, are you mad? There’s a discipline in accounting called cost accounting. It establishes the actual cost of delivering a product or service. Fund or sell anything below this cost, and it simply is not viable. No wonder universities fell into huge debt and near-bankruptcy. Because people ran things with an “anything goes” mentality. If anything goes, nothing will survive. Resources are finite.

Yet when someone fixes it properly, emotions take over like we are inacapable of thinking logically and rationally. A country of headlines, hashtags and memes, therefore hollow emotions.

The day we choose to face objective facts and frame our problems honestly is the day we’ll begin to solve them. Until then, keep turning red with emotions. It won’t fix a thing. And the problem won’t go away! Glad we are having this conversation.

This is the reason I support this administration. They don’t want to do populist things and kick the can down the road like all those before them. They are facing realities - our problems - and doing the right thing. You will thank them later.

There are two huge human foot footprints on a rock in chemweisus Mt Elgon. This rock is located at the cutline between Mt Elgon forest and human settlement area on your way to kapchemosobcho as you exit cheretei's land. When we were young we used to visit this location as we look after our cows grazing.

This place is raised that can allow you to have a good view point. While standing here you can as far as escapement of Nandi hills, on your south east you can see KVDA building and DAIMA TOWERS of Eldoret and platues of Keiyo land. southward you can see plains of Kimilili webuye and the horizons of Kakamega and Busia. Westward from the horizons especially at the evening hours when the sun is setting you can see the beautiful river Nile flowing glowing and glittering going to Mediterranean Sea in Egypt. When you turn north you will see the entire beauty of Mt Elgon forest and you will see Summit of Mt Elgon mountains.

Surprisingly 100 meters from this location is a maternity field where hundreds of Elephants come every Year to give birth to the young ones in the month of August and September. Elephants will stay here for 2 months taking care of the new borns before migrating to Kitum cave in Endebess, where they go to lick salt in cave especially during the night.

Just 300 meters towards Mzee Rambit on the upper side of cheretei's Land before river Labaa you will find a natural "Rain Gauge" that is used by locals to predict weather conditions and weather patterns. This year it predicted Elnino

To cut long story short, Probably long time ago giants used to live in Mt Elgon thousands of years ago and they might have stepped on a hot lava/magma during eruption of volcano in Mt Elgon and they left a huge foot footprints here. This is the beauty of Mt. Kenya❤️
