From the beginning of this month, I’ve been finalizing on plans for a free medical camp set for this Saturday 27th October 2007. Over 50 medical personnel will come together at the Salvation Army Church compound on Musa Gitau road, to provide crucial medical check-ups and treatment for over 2000 people from Waruku. This is the first time such an event has ever taken place in Kileleshwa.
It’s important to note that Kileleshwa Ward does not have a single public health centre and the medical camp clearly focuses on this issue. The idea behind this community initiative is also to demonstrate that I take very seriously the health of the residents, especially those unable to access or afford medical care. The Waruku residents are especially vulnerable in this regard.
The medical providers are as follows:
1. Lions Sight First Eye Hospital, Loresho.
2. University of Nairobi school of dental sciences
3. Diabetes Management Institute (DMI)
4. Kenya Society for Deaf Children
Fantastic corporate support has come in from Davis & Shirtliff Ltd. with a donation of 2000 bottles of water for the patients. Proctor & Allan Ltd. is also donating 2000 Nutri-rich porridge packs.
Please write or call me if you would like to support in any way towards this worthy community initiative.
Sincerely,
Dancan Muhindi

Hallo Councillor Muhindi, you seem to have a fresh pair of eyes and I hope you make it into the NCC. Who are your fellow aspirants in Kileleshwa? And what are they doing?
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and for wishing me well. I do have a fresh pair of eyes as you put it, because I represent a generation that has observed opportunities to develop our people being lost as our leaders engorged themselves on our resources.
ReplyDeleteThis will not stop until some of us make a resolution before God and man to step out of our "safe" zones and take a stand against this mediocrity in our local leadership.
To answer your query; there are about 14 civic aspirants in the ward and they keep increasing by the day. Other than putting up their posters and dishing out 50 bobs, they are doing absolutely nothing for the people.
