"My deepest gratitude to the entire team at Kenyatta National Hospital, they gave me and my babies a fighting chance.!"
Just weeks ago, 32-year-old Beatrice Wanja from Kiambu County arrived at KNH at just 22 weeks pregnant with four little lives on the line. The medical team immediately recognized the high-risk nature of her journey. For 12 critical weeks, they monitored her closely, stabilized her blood pressure, and prevented life-threatening complications.
On Wednesday, 13th May 2026, at 34 weeks, Beatrice delivered her four bundles of joy via Caesarean section. The flawless procedure was led by Consultant Obstetrician Dr. Esther Wanjiku, alongside Dr. Josephine Njoroge, Dr. Naanyu, anesthesiologist Dr. Asher Chweya, and theatre nurse Mr. Hezbon Nyangeri.
Born preterm, the newborns went straight to the Newborn Unit for round-the-clock specialized care under Dr. Wairimu Kimani and Principal Nursing Officer Ms. Naomi Ngatunyi. Their birth weights:
Baby 1: 1,950g
Baby 2: 1,490g
Baby 3: 1,790g
Baby 4: 1,110g
Beatrice’s message is clear: Thank you for protecting us with skill, compassion, and unwavering dedication.
At KNH, this heartwarming triumph is what maternal healthcare is all about.

The map shows when Kisumu used to be deep inside Uganda until 1902 when it became part of the present day Kenya.

One interesting case before this transfer took place was that of a man called Odongo. He had been arrested at Kisumu for murder and sentenced to death by a native tribunal.

But just before Odongo was executed, Kisumu was transferred from Uganda to what we now call Kenya (then known as British East Africa Protectorate).

The dilemma was this: The court that had sentenced Odongo to death was recognised in Uganda but not British East Africa Protectorate (now Kenya). This meant the ex*****on of Odongo would be illegal.

At the same time, he could not be executed by the authorities of Uganda under their law, for Kisumu had ceased to be Uganda territory. This meant that technically, Odongo was to walk out of prison a free man.

The authorities were torn between freeing him and detaining him, which would be illegal. The argument was that releasing him would be an abuse to the family of his victim. At the same time, trying him afresh according to the laws of British East Africa Protectorate now Kenya would be scandalous.

As the authorities mulled on what to do, Odongo himself solved the puzzle when he tried to escape from prison and was shot dead in the process.

But l tend to think, the authorities intentionally created the perfect environment for Odongo to escape so that they could get rid of him after they found themselves in a catch 22.

I've seen people celebrate this young man for calling out his father in public.
Women old enough to be the kid's mother are clapping that he did well.
As much as the dad was wrong, lecturing your dad in public amounts to disrespect.

What becomes of their relationship after the burial?
Some women can plant hate and resentment in their kids towards their father.

My two cent mind: The young man was wrong.
A kid shouldn't take sides in a wedge that happens between parents.
