A Kenyan couple is being held in India along with the body of their daughter due to unpaid medical bills. The
couple had accompanied their daughter Patricia Mwangi who was suffering
from non-Hodgkin Lymphoma to a New Delhi hospital to seek treatment.
Patricia, 29, however passed away on December 28, 2012 while undergoing treatment at the hospital. She had earlier being misdiagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma after she went to a
doctor in Kenya. She underwent six stages of chemotherapy before a
second opinion by a different doctor discovered the misdiagnosis.
The
parents are held in India together with the body and the family
needs Sh3.7 million to pay off bills and secure their release. Patricia’s
sister, Vicky, speaking on behalf of the family is appealing to well
wishers to assist them in raising the funds and is also appealing to the
Kenya High Commission in India as well as the government to come to
their aid. This will enable the release of the parents as well as the repatriation of Patricia's body to Kenya for burial.
Sh.1 million had already been raised by Tuesday evening and contributions are still streaming in. Please help by sending your contribution to MPesa PayBill number 600100, Account NO. 0100002617271.

Welcome 2013
Dear Blog
It has been long. I was gonna post this just after this year kicked in but I thought waiting for some time would bring in something new. Well, did that with #KOT (Kenyans On Twitter) in mind. You can expect a whole new package from these insane people. However, we didn't stop being the usual Kenyans that we are. You know, the ones that are bad with beating deadlines on anything - the voter registration, SIM registration, passing of bills in parliament, posting back of HELB loan forms ... etc. Good thing they didn't terminate the SIM cards' connections.
2012 ended with the obvious end-of-year awards with a few subarus here and there. More fun TTs followed and you can't end the year in a sane or sober mode; that's what I learnt from #KOT. We all remember the tweefs that spilled over to the new year, ones we wished we'd participate in, ones we wished we didn't pepeta and also the ones that we wished #KOT didn't notice because you knew you lost before it even started.
2013 kicked in! Happy new year btw, and i gotta say this again 'new year resolutions are overrated'. Whatever goals you think you'll put up with throughout the year, let me tell you this; you are wasting your ink, paper, notes space and those Notes Apps on your phones. You're just gonna drink like last year, only that it's this year's Bluemoon, Guinness Kubwa, Keg and Changaa. You're gonna get high only that this year's weed wouldn't be as green as last year's because of global warming.
Moving on, please welcome the newest NGO in the streets of Twitter *claps getting louder* #TeamMafisiress aka, TeamFisiress. Unveiled on 4th January 2013 due to gender equality (and a certain hyena family photo), #TeamMafisiress members are happy that they now have a platform to discuss and debate about all their preys spotted on Twitter. #TeamMafisi are proud and ready to share the eyes' cake with you.
Staying on matters of reduction of the male gender cake, reports show that there is a real and credible danger of the human being species going the way of the dinosaur as men produce less and poor quality sperm globally. For reasons only known by itchy balls, I didn't continue with reading that article, so be warned !
Have an awesome 2013 !
