Recent appeals have been made to the Ombudsman to elucidate the illegalities surrounding abortion


The Commission on Administrative Justice (Ombudsman) is facing mounting pressure to articulate its position on abortion.

Mercy Wambua, the CEO of the Ombudsman and also the Commission Secretary/CEO in Kenya, has acknowledged that the abortion discourse has resurfaced as activists advocate for the legalization of abortion.

Recently, the commission has received numerous complaints and petitions urging an investigation and prosecution of individuals involved in the procurement of illegal abortions.

Dr. Joseph Nyamu, a physician in Kenya, has been a proponent of legalizing abortion, contending that legal uncertainties compel women to pursue unsafe abortion methods.

He has encountered legal obstacles for providing abortions in Kenya, where the procedure is only permissible when a woman's life is at risk.

Dr. Nyamu's position is part of a broader discussion in Kenya concerning abortion access, with various medical professionals and government officials expressing conflicting opinions.

Dr. Nyamu made headlines after his arrest for facilitating illegal abortions.

It is crucial to highlight that Dr. Nyamu, who operates a private clinic at Nairobi's Afya Centre, has been accused of performing abortions on schoolgirls and teenagers at his clinic.

This situation has prompted him to advocate for abortion, despite the opposition from a significant portion of the Kenyan populace.

Dr. Nyamu was apprehended and brought before the court after he facilitated an abortion that resulted in the demise of two unborn infants.

Reports indicate that despite multiple complaints lodged with the KMPDB, no actions have been taken against him, allegedly due to his capacity to bribe officials.

Pressure is increasing on the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to relocate Principal Hellen Mabese Luhangala of Tengecha Girls High School

Image
As the third term approaches its conclusion, stakeholders at Tengecha Girls High School in Kericho County are fervently urging the TSC to facilitate the transfer of Principal Hellen Mabese Luhangala.   In a conversation with Citizen Daily News, conducted under strict anonymity due to concerns of retaliation, parents and certain members of the local community assert that Hellen has remained in her position for an extended period without any visible development projects to demonstrate her leadership. The local community is now requesting that the TSC appoint a new principal in January, ideally someone who is a “daughter of the soil.” They allege that she has become adept at leading through authoritarian methods, coercion, intimidation, and threats against those who oppose her alleged involvement in corrupt practices, which have resulted in the misappropriation of public funds during her tenure. Furthermore, it is reported that she employs intimidation tactics against members of th...

The financial mismanagement at ENOOMATASIANI GIRLS SECONDARY SCHOOL has been brought to light.

Image
  The most recent report from the Auditor General for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, has uncovered mismanagement at Enoomatasiani High School under the administration of Principal Tabitha Mbabu (TSC No. 224359). There are calls for her transfer over mismanagement and not very impressive academic excellence under her leadership. As per the report, the statement of receipts and payments indicates that the school's fund income from parents' contributions amounts to Kshs. 89,627,445, as detailed in Note 4 of the financial statements. An examination of the school's fee structure during the review period revealed that the school fees were raised beyond the limits set by the Ministry of Education (MOE), resulting in an unauthorized increase in annual fees of Kshs. 15,000 for form one students and Kshs. 18,000 for students in other classes. This action contravenes Regulation 44 of the Basic Education Regulations, 2015, which stipulates that no public school or instit...
