Medal Monday-Tuesday.

China's AI heavy STAR50 index has fallen about 40% from its July peak, Reuters reports. The technology may be transformative, but that doesn't mean every valuation makes sense. We've seen this before: excitement can move faster than business fundamentals.

Encouraging progress in Kenya's Ebola response. 20 contacts have completed 21 days of monitoring and been released from quarantine without symptoms. Another 98 remain under observation. A welcome milestone, but vigilance must continue. Strong health systems save lives.

Health workers responding to Ebola in DRC are reportedly sheltering under police protection following deadly attacks. Deeply troubling. An effective outbreak response requires more than medical resources. Community trust, accurate information and the safety of frontline workers are equally essential.

Kenya's capital markets are showing renewed momentum. @NSE_PLC equity turnover reached KES 395bn in nine months, while market capitalization surpassed KES 4 trillion. Encouraging progress. The opportunity now is to deepen liquidity, broaden investor participation and attract more listings.

Africa @AfricaCDC is sending leading scientists to Nigeria to investigate the origin of its recent Ebola case and possible links to infections in Kenya.

Kenya faces potential KES 180.7bn in contract termination liabilities on the Rironi–Mau Summit highway project. Not an immediate bill, but a significant fiscal exposure. Infrastructure investment must be matched by sound contracting, accountability and prudent risk management.

Today is World Occupational Therapy Day. Theme: Participation Matters. Successful healthcare goes beyond treatment. Can someone return to work, school, family life and everyday activities? Healthcare should not only help people survive. It should help them live. #WorldOTDay

4:01. The target was sub 4. I missed it by about a minute, and that honestly hurts. But I also ran a PB, roughly 16 minutes faster than my previous official marathon. The climb around Kibera slowed me badly until about km 29, but I found some speed again on the way down. Weeks of early mornings, disciplined eating, long runs and training in different towns while traveling all came back to me at the finish. Disappointed? Yes. Proud? Absolutely. Sub 4 is no longer far away. We recover. Then we go again.

Congratulations to Mercy Eragae for winning bronze at the African Road Cycling Championships in Kisumu. South Africa dominated the medals, but Kenya has talent worth developing. I'd love to see cycling receive more investment, visibility and grassroots support.

A nurse has been killed and another health worker seriously injured while responding to an Ebola alert in eastern DRC. Containing Ebola in The DRC will continue to be a challenge given such occurrences. Tragic and deeply concerning. Protecting frontline health workers is fundamental to containing outbreaks and safeguarding communities. Healthcare workers must never become targets.

Kenya Red Cross reports 47 missing person cases as rescue operations continue. The @InteriorKE CS @kipmurkomen gave a statement that only ONE person was missing. After that statement, several have been rescued alive. Government officials, be careful with media statements, especially were people's lives are involved.

What a performance in Valencia. Sheila Chepkirui wins the Half Marathon in 1:03:51, the fastest women's time of 2026. Fellow Kenyan Diana Wanza finishes just ONE second behind in 1:03:52. Two exceptional performances.

Uganda has introduced mandatory 21 day quarantine for returning citizens with recent DRC travel history as Ebola precautions intensify. Encouragingly, 60 contacts linked to Kenya's case have completed monitoring. Regional health security depends on vigilance, coordination and strong surveillance systems.

John Catlin wins the Hong Kong Open at 20-under-par, securing qualification for the 2027 Masters and Open Championship.

Brazil's Lula has won a fourth presidential term, overturning his first-round defeat to Flávio Bolsonaro. Quite a political comeback at 80.

Kenya's hospitals have until Friday, 30 October, to complete the transition to the new HMIS. Digitisation is necessary, but the real test is whether patients experience faster service, accurate records and fewer payment delays. Technology must improve care, not complicate it.

Yesterday's Nairobi Marathon was the culmination of weeks of early mornings, disciplined eating and training runs in different towns while traveling for work. Still reflecting on the experience. For now, a little recovery is in order.

A new PB for me. Though I missed sub 4 narrowly. I tried. But the Kibera hill stole my 2 minutes.
