GOVERNOR ABDULSWAMAD SHARIFF MADE THE RIGHT DECISION BY ENTRUSTING MOHAMED OSMAN TO SPEARHEAD THE TOURISM AND TRADE DEPARTMENT  By Abdi Sama Timberlake   Governor Abdulswamad Shariff Nassir has pulled a masterstroke by naming a well-known performer, enthusiastic man and a perfectionist Mohammed Osman Ali as his CECM for Toursm and Trade. Its a masterpiece and masterclass to say the least. In him, Governor Shariff has got a man who will mastermind a plan to sell Mombasa to the world as the most ideal destination and open up business in Mombasa to make it as 24 hour economy.  Under Mr Mohamed Osman, the local economy will boom courtesy of his vast knowledge in matters commerce and enterprising industry. Mr Mohamed has a total grasp of the most important ideas for turning around county's fortunes in the realms of tourism and business development.  While it's safe to say that Mombasa and coast at large needs to embark and engage in huge amount of advertisemen...

GIGGS MOJA: ADEN DUALE DID NOT DESIGN THIS ROT. HE IS DISMANTLING IT Truth be told, the sustained attack on CS Duale is unwarranted and uncalled for. The record speaks for itself. Duale was appointed Health CS on 26 March 2025 and officially assumed office on 1 April 2025—well after the scandalous payments that are now causing public uproar had already been disbursed. The State Health Authority wired out millions in December 2024, January 2025, and early February 2025—months before Duale even set foot in Afya House. To attempt to hang this albatross around his neck is nothing short of political mischief. Consider the Nyandiwa hospital saga, which has been weaponised to malign him. The much-quoted KSh 19.9 million was paid between January and June 2025, meaning the trail began before his watch. Even more telling, Nyandiwa Level 4 Hospital exists in the official registry, albeit with glaring misclassifications such as being listed without inpatient beds. This speaks to a syst...
