Former Kenyan Sports Cabinet Secretary Dr Hassan Wario was Wednesday found guilty of abuse of office as well as an extended charge of embezzling monies meant for the Kenyan Team of athletes to the 2016 Rio Olympic games. Kenyan media reported that the former Cabinet Secretary who resigned from office following the revelation of the misdoings was found culpable of loss of close to Sh89 million allocated to the National Olympic Committee of Kenya(KNOCK) ahead of the Rio De Janeiro (Brazil) games.

A report filed by Strathmore University's Dean of Students who Chaired the Investigations Committee into the malpractice implicated Dr Wario of the misappropriation that nearly grounded morale of Kenyan delegation to the Olympic games.
According to the Report, the cash was meant to buy air tickets for the Team Kenya, but instead, it was diverted to individual pockets.
The Court ruled that Wario could not account for Sh54 million of the Sh89 million that was in question.
It was also revealed that Sh126 million cash from American sports wear meant for athletics development has been going to the drains since 2013 and is never accounted for to date.
The former official will be detained at Gigili Police Station for the next seven days to await sentencing.

Baby born with rare defects shocks medics The baby died within a day after birth following what medics described as multiple organ complications.

Medics at the Nyamira County Referral Hospital are in shock after birthing a baby with abnormal defects. The baby had six fingers in each of its four limbs; abnormally big eye sockets and a single nasal opening. The baby’s face too seemed swollen. According to a medic who sought anonymity because of confidentiality of the parents and adherence to the hospital’s communication protocols, the baby was born on Saturday to parents with three other ‘normal’ kids. Unfortunately, the newborn had only one day to live. It died shortly after 24 hours due to breathing difficulties as well as multiple organ challenges that could not have allowed it to live longer, according to the medic. “The doctors had opined that the baby be transfe...

How Speaker Moffat Teya survived impeachment

By Stanwicks Nyamira Assembly Speaker Moffat Teya. Pic: Courtesy. Nyamira County Assembly Speaker Moffat Teya has heaved a sigh of relief after the impeachment motion that was being leveled against him was nibbed at the bud. Teya has been a restless man over the last two weeks but now, he has reason to smile after Leader of Majority Duke Masira helped him overturn the impeachment game that he had almost lost. Masira who is the leader of business at the Assembly saved Teya from hands of majority members of the House who were determined to bring him down from the office he has occupied for the last four years. Sources privy to the internal strifes intimated that Teya, a man with crystalline instincts had only Masira as a saviour in the war that is being waged on claims of unpaid allowances for staffs and MCAs as well as power struggles. The turbulence has seen the House sharply divided for an umpteenth time, even after all MCAs had forged a common front that was on an onslaught to impeac...

Shock over baby born with extremely low birth weight in Nyamira

As reported by The Standard:  Not even the doctors at the Nyamira County Referral Hospital imagined that an infant born with an extremely low birth weight of 600 grammes would survive. But after staying at the hospital’s nursery for 90 days, she was discharged four days ago, weighing two kilogrammes. Dr Timothy Ombati who has been attending to the baby at the paediatric ward, says there is a worry when a baby is born with such extremely low weight because premature babies usually have underdeveloped body organs. The baby, for instance, overcame so many life-threatening hurdles. “The baby was born on the seventh month of pregnancy and at that age, some vital body organs like the lungs and liver have not fully developed. She needed extra care and that is exactly what made her overcome the dangers,” Dr Ombati said. Dr Ombati says the medics succeeded to maintain the health of the infant by being extra vigilant against common challenges that kill newborns. “We were very cautious agains...
