Chini ya agizo la serikali mpya, huduma za uzazi kwa sasa ni bure katika hospitali za umma, vituo vya afya na kwenye kliniki nchini Kenya, lakini baadhi ya vituo vya kutoa huduma za afya bado havifuati agizo hili la msamaha wa ada zinazohusiana na uzazi.

"Serikali yangu imefanya mipangilio ya bajeti inayotosha kuwezesha akina mama wote wajawazito kupata huduma za uzazi bure katika vituo vya afya vya umma, kuanzia tarehe 1 Juni, 2013," Rais Uhuru Kenyatta alisema katika kulihutubia taifa Siku ya Madaraka, kufuatia ahadi ya kampeni ya Muungano wa Jubilee aliahidi kutekeleza wakati wa siku 100 za mwanzo madarakani.

Fedha zilizowekwa katika bajeti ya mwaka 2013-2014 zinawapa Wakenya wote fursa nzuri ya kupata huduma za msingi za afya kwenye vituo na zahanati zinazoendeshwa na serikali, rais alisema.

Kenyatta pia alifuta ada ya shilingi 10 (senti 12 ) na shilingi 20 (senti 23), ambayo zahanati na vituo vya afya vimekuwa vikitoza wagonjwa.

Hata hivyo, baadhi ya vituo vya afya vimeendelea kutoza akina mama wanaokwenda kujifungua watoto wao.

"Wakati agizo la rais linatolewa, kwa kawaida tunapaswa kusubiri waraka kutoka wizarani ukitoa maelekezo," Mrakibu wa Hospitali ya Mbagathi huko Nairobi Daktari Andrew Sule aliiambia Sabahi. "Wakina mama wanaokuja kujifungua watapaswa kulipa hadi tutakapopokea mawasiliano rasmi."

MBINU ZA KUMFIKISHA MWANAMKE MWENYE MAKALIO MAKUBWA KILELENI KWA HARAKA

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea. Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”. Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja. Lakini kwa nini basi baadhi yao tu ndio wafike kileleni na wengine was...

Mushikiwabo to UN: Enhance civilian protection

By Eugene Kwibuka Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to invest more energy in the prevention of conflicts for better protection of civilians living in conflict-torn areas. Rwanda’s Foreign minister, Louise Mushikiwabo Louise Mushikiwabo made the call during an open debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflict which the UNSC held in New York on Tuesday. “Rwanda’s core message today is that enhancing the protection of civilians in armed conflict requires action before a conflict starts. The proliferation of non-state armed groups makes civilian protection both more urgent, and harder to achieve,” she said. For better protection of civilians in armed-conflict areas, the minister emphasised the need to increase investments in professionalising the military and police forces through adequate training. “Only when the leadership of armed forces shares the international...
