WHEN AFRICA HAD ELITE PATRIOTS: I had to visit where this great man once lived - Tom Mboya , one of the founding fathers of Independent Kenya. They shaped the politics and economic policies of their nation, spoke and pushed for an all African Independence. They were the educated, informed crop of leaders who listened, reasoned and debated with anyone to influence national narratives. Where are the young Africa’s Tom Mboyas of today, to continue pushing for Africa’s liberation, integration and transformation for prosperity?

Dear Mum , Hon Minister @Hon_Anifa , mine is not defending an ethical behavior but just to explain something others are not telling you - “THE POCKETING DR,”leave alone saying I know Dr Candia Robert who was one year behind me. I was his President at Medical School. A disciplined and always smiling Dr. The clinical coat has very many uses to a clinician. I won’t enumerate them but one of them , is what I have witnessed over the years: when a Dr is exhausted, instead of leaning against a wall or sitting down , many times he /she chooses to rest his / her hands in the lower coat pockets to find balance and rest on his / her feet, can you imagine. But also , to keep his hands from hanging everywhere and falling in contact with the surfaces on the ward , to keep them fairly clean before touching to examine another client, disinfect and keep again. It develops into a habit among health workers who work for long hrs or teaching, common among senior health workers. Please , please, let me plead for Dr Chadia, he is that nice son of yours - try and find out. Again , sometimes health workers use those white pockets to hide their glove - powdered hands - not dirty as such. I bet you , you will meet many , including very senior Drs pocketing. I could be wrong, I am sorry, that’s just my humble but orthodox view. @TheUMAofficial @MinofHealthUG @RubabindaJr
