Mathare escapees

The place looks grim. I can recall seeing escapees in Nairobi while I was in my teens, back in the day. You could point them out, as they used to be dressed in a navy blue uniform, and the streets would clear as they came either walking, or running through the streets. The hospital does not look like it is secure, if it is that easy for the patients to escape, and it is clearly understaffed. The police officer in the video below is suggesting if you see the patients, to drive them back to the hospital.

Is he really serious, when other news sources state these men are violent.

Who in their right mind would take that risk?



This BBC article mentions the human rights abuses at Mathare hospital after a CNN documentary.

Deputy President orders crackdown on fake tourists

I agree with him. These sorts of tourists need to be dealt with accordingly. I have a hunch that tourists like this Swedish national, are probably sex offenders in their country of origin, and are on a register.

Is there any way  that the Kenya High Commission can do background checks on certain individuals before issuing visas?

How is information shared across countries regarding paedophiles, and sex offenders?

These people head to the Third world to exploit the vulnerable, or to places like Thailand. We don't need people like this in Kenya, as they want to use it as a breeding ground for their disgusting practices. As for the women, this is nothing other than pure desperation if they can stoop to this level. It is tragic.

The question for me, is that there are lots of people out there that are struggling with poverty, but how come some do not, and would never consider resorting to this.

How high Mombasa's drug menace

This video is tragic, and I was startled that they showed someone injecting drugs on it. For years I have heard about the drug problems in Mombasa, from friends who live there. I have seen things change drastically over the years, with young kids getting pulled into the scene.



I was not aware that there were any Rehab facilities, in Kenya. Drugs kill, and ruin lives. People can only get clean if they acknowledge they have a problem, and want to change. Or you get people who are in and out of Rehab for years. It is a slippery slope for those who dabble in this stuff.
