This story breaks my heart, meanwhile theres a US military base next to Lamu, there's Manda Bay full of tourists that include royalty, billionaires and politicians from all over the world who fill that place all year round. What is the story that we are not being told? None of this makes sense. national Government, County Government, The Military. Are these people any less human than the rest of us?

Yaani you stop a program coz it was started by another administration despite its benefits? Ni nini utusumbua. Gosh

How can I get in contact directly with this lady Aisha❓we will not wait for the government, let me know how

@abunaylah405 May 30, 2025 - 10:14 pm

It's ironic that people have a governor and a president. Their is no way a reasonable human being can be those people's leader in government and do nothing about it.

Wonderful reporting. A lot to reflect on as a nation😢

KDF has trained health care workers. Why can't they be stationed in those health facilities?

@Chege06 May 30, 2025 - 10:14 pm

Meanwhile Ruto and his administration are still stealing public funds

Excellent work

@Afr1canQueen May 30, 2025 - 10:14 pm

We have over Ksh2b being stolen everyday and with less than ksh100m it would make a difference in such areas.
You will find the MP and senator were busy impeaching a vp. How did that help their people? This is so sad when our leaders are just selfish.

@dinkaman2160pukka May 30, 2025 - 10:14 pm

LAMU COUNTY.
Governor on payslip.
Mps on payslips.
MCAs on payslip.
Senator on payslip.
Total poverty.
Zero Infrastructure .
Zero Health care services.

It's called devolution in Kenya.

Big UP Africa Uncensored. You need more funding to cover Africa in its real images.

@Jamesmakoris May 30, 2025 - 10:14 pm

This is what journalism is .

@kimutaiian8656 May 30, 2025 - 10:14 pm

Devolution seems not to be working on these sides, the question is, where does the money go?

@TheGozia May 30, 2025 - 10:14 pm

This is so sad and disheartening. While the leaders in these areas spend most of their time in Nairobi. Shame on them

@odhiamboomino5432 May 30, 2025 - 10:14 pm

Can we call ourselves an independent Nation really? With a president – one of the richest individuals in the country with several million dollars stashed in foreign accounts…what a disaster!! Your own folk is dying like flies and the suffering seems not have an end… what purpose is your“leadership”? Even during colonial “error” schools were running and clinical services were available even though thinly spread. The whole structure of governance we’ve inherited and reformed is not only flawed but its implementers are not only grossly incompetent but corrupt to the core… sickening!!!

@kayambakayumbet May 30, 2025 - 10:14 pm

so unfortunate that this happening to Kenyan citizens over 60 years after independence. even with the introduction of county govts, this is sad.
you wonder if sha/shif exist here

@Sam58598 May 30, 2025 - 10:14 pm

Well done AU team, when the rest of the media houses are focused on nonsense, please lead the way.
What a shame for Kenya, especially both levels of government. Two years of politics, and people are suffering.
A village with no single graduate, no health facilities, no doctors, and no school, only God can save 254.

@fatumakichuna1256 May 30, 2025 - 10:14 pm

So sad . government needs to do something for this people
