Counties Uhuru Has Never Visited as President

President Uhuru in Eldoret-Uasin Gichu county
President Uhuru Kenyatta has been to 39 out of the 47 Counties in Kenya – either on official tour, for County activity or to Commission a project – during his three years in office.


Kenyatta is yet to visit 9 Counties which include Laikipia, Wajir, Mandera, Garissa, Siaya, Homa Bay, Kitui, and Vihiga.

According to Government communication agency, Nexus, Nairobi County was among those he toured in 2014 and recorded the highest visits from the Head of State totalling 73 visits (61 official events and 12 county activities).

Uhuru had also been to Mombasa County 12 times to attend county activities.

The tabulation by Nexus released on Monday indicated that Kenyatta had been to Kiambu and Nakuru Counties seven and six times respectively, with three visits each recorded for Machakos and Nyeri.

President Kenyatta's trips have in the past few days been a contentious topic on the media and online platforms, with more focus being given to his numerous foreign visits – 43 trips in the last three years in office.

Reports indicate that Uhuru has made 10 more trips than his predecessor retired President Mwai Kibaki did in his 10-year tenure.

However, on Sunday, State House firmly defended the President's foreign trips, noting that they had benefited the country tremendously.

11 Habits You Need to Stop Doing

Stop watching too much TV If you spend too much time watching TV, you are wasting your life away. I feel really strongly about this one. I don’t have cable, and while I do watch some shows on Netflix, it’s few and far between. I only watch TV after I really am relaxed and need a break. I’m also careful not to turn on the TV right when I get home. I find that if I do this, I’m sucked in. This is why I keep my reading list and focus on reading good books instead. So, start to pay attention to how much TV you’re watching. If you think it’s too much, cut back. Limit your TV intake to 30 minutes to 1 hour per day, if possible. Stop talking about people behind their backs Talking about someone behind her back is a bad idea for a number of reasons. First, if someone is talking to you behind someone else’s back, you can bet on it that they also will talk about you. Second, did you know that when you talk about someone negatively, the person who you’re talking to will associate yo...

How to Stop Porn Addiction

Don't be judgmental. The first thing you should do when trying to help other people stay away from porn is to stop being judgmental. Do not see or portray the situation in a way that makes them bad for what they do. Sexuality is very normal and human. Even most religions teach that it is not anyone’s place to judge their fellow man (but is instead the job of the Creator). It’s also bad to judge people because it tends to turn them off from what you’re trying to do. Many people that might be open to change will become defensive if you judge them and become even more set in their ways. Stay calm when you talk to them and avoid any judgmental language like “Why can’t you be more like Davis ?” or “Watching pornography will turn you into a pedophile!”. Don’t make assumptions about how they think or compare them to other people, since language like this tends to shut people down. Look for spiritual guidance. If you’re really having trouble getting your habit under control, you ...

How technology will soon be taking care of your healthcare

The New Year tends to come with some changes - new socio-cultural interactions, new ways of doing business or new adjustments in our lifestyles. Some changes tend to fall on the wayside as the year advances. But other changes tend to be more long-term, serving to redefine several aspects of our lives. You can be certain that there will be changes in healthcare delivery this year. As with other service-oriented industries, technology will be a key driver of healthcare delivery. The interplay between technology and health is already quite advanced, but will get even more accelerated as the year progresses. You will already be familiar with a multitude of tech gadgets that can monitor various aspects of your health, and even offer suggestions on specific health actions. Such gadgets will get more refined, eventually becoming indispensable in individual health monitoring. You should expect to see more interactions with machines rather than humans in healthcare facilities. You wi...
