KENYA MOJA

Women's health is often discussed in the language of hospitals, medicines and maternal care. Yet the lived experiences of millions of women are shaped just as much by law, public policy , economic opportunity and social justice as they are by clinical treatment. Few Kenyan professionals have spent their careers connecting those dots as consistently as Dr. Stellah Wairimu Bosire . A medical doctor by training, lawyer, public health expert, governance researcher and gender justice advocate, Dr. Bosire has built a career that moves comfortably between clinics, courtrooms, boardrooms and policy forums. Rather than limiting herself to treating illness, she has worked to address the systems that determine whether women receive quality healthcare, enjoy equal rights and participate in decisions that affect their lives. As the Executive Director of the Africa Center for Health Systems and Gender Justice , she has championed reforms that place women and marginalized communities at the c...

The body has an incredible ability to heal, but healing often needs guidance. After an injury, surgery or a long period of living with pain, recovery is rarely about waiting for time to pass. It is about restoring strength, rebuilding confidence and regaining the freedom to move without discomfort. Physiotherapy has become one of the most important pillars of modern rehabilitation because it focuses on helping people return to the activities that matter most in their daily lives. In Nairobi, where busy schedules and long commutes can easily interfere with healthcare appointments, choosing the right physiotherapy clinic involves more than finding a convenient address. Accessibility, reliable operating hours and confidence in the care you receive all play a part in making rehabilitation successful. These are some of the qualities that make Capex Physiotherapy Centre, located along Hendred Avenue in Valley Arcade, a clinic worth considering for individuals seeking physiotherapy and physic...

Kenya's irrigation story is entering a defining chapter. As climate change continues to disrupt rainfall patterns and demand for food grows, irrigation has shifted from being an agricultural intervention to a national economic priority. Across the country, the National Irrigation Authority (NIA) is overseeing projects that promise to reshape farming, strengthen food security and unlock new opportunities for rural communities. Some projects are expanding long-established irrigation schemes, while others are introducing irrigation to areas where farming has traditionally depended on unpredictable rainfall. Together, they demonstrate how strategic investment in water infrastructure can improve livelihoods, increase agricultural productivity and build resilience against climate shocks. Here are ten National Irrigation Authority projects that deserve close attention in 2026. 1. Bura Irrigation Development Project Few irrigation projects carry as much historical and strategic signif...

Most Kenyans associate irrigation with canals, dams and rice schemes. Others think of it only when drought threatens crops or when government launches a new irrigation project. Yet behind nearly every major irrigation programme in the country is an institution whose work stretches far beyond engineering. The State Department for Irrigation is responsible for shaping the policies, legal framework and national direction that determine how Kenya develops and manages irrigation. Its work has become even more important at a time when climate change is disrupting rainfall patterns, agricultural land is under increasing pressure and the country is seeking sustainable ways to strengthen food security. Although the department rarely dominates public conversation, its decisions influence everything from where irrigation infrastructure is built to how water resources are managed for agriculture. Understanding what the department does helps explain why irrigation has become one of Kenya's most...

Politics often announces itself with loud speeches, colourful rallies and endless promises. Yet, every once in a while, a different kind of story begins to take shape. It starts quietly. It grows through conversations in marketplaces, church compounds, village meetings and neighbourhood gatherings where people are less interested in political slogans than they are in practical answers to everyday problems. That is where the public story of Beatrice Amondi Nyogam is unfolding. Known to many simply as Abito Nyogam , she has become an increasingly visible figure in Kisumu County 's political landscape through grassroots organising within the United Democratic Alliance (UDA). Her public profile has grown alongside the party's efforts to establish a stronger presence in a region where competition for political influence has traditionally been intense. Her emergence has not happened overnight. It has been built through sustained engagement with communities and participation in the o...

A Case Study of Corporate Communication and Institutional Trust at the National Irrigation Authority By Victor Patience Oyuko .    Introduction The National Irrigation Authority (NIA) occupies a unique position within Kenya's development architecture. Established under the Irrigation Act, 2019, the Authority is mandated to develop, regulate and manage irrigation in support of sustainable food security and socio-economic development. Unlike many public institutions whose success can be measured through policy outputs alone, the Authority's performance is experienced directly by farmers, pastoralists, county governments, investors and development partners whose livelihoods depend on reliable water for agricultural production (Government of Kenya, 2019). Over the last decade, Kenya has progressively repositioned irrigation as a national development priority. The National Irrigation Policy identifies irrigation as a critical intervention for reducing dependence on rain-fed agricul...
