Dear Kenyans,
This was what was happening in India just before it suffered its devastating second Covid wave earlier this year. Remember, the politicians are vaccinated. The people are not.
If Kenya is not careful, we may reap a veritable whirlwind of covid deaths and infections that we are ill-prepared to handle. Before its calamitous second wave, India had been lulled into a false sense of security with Modi declaring victory over covid. thequint.com/news/india/in-…
If Kenya goes the way of India, it's not just the politicians who would be to blame. Just as in India, KE media, by playing along and playing up the drama of politics while giving short shrift to the dangers of covid, would be totally culpable. brookings.edu/research/makin…

In case you want to watch it, the @CIJ_ICJ judgment in the maritime dispute between Kenya and Somalia should be live here: media.un.org/en/asset/k14/k…
Court has completely picked apart Kenya's argument that there was an existing agreement on the border. Mwaura will recall this as the same feeling as when listening to #BBIAppealJudgment.
I'm sure this must make for riveting listening for cartographers. It however reminds me of Double Geography after lunch on Wednesdays in high school which was delivered in much the same droning monotone.
