I was delighted to appear on @TheKenyanist with host @KamauWairuri about our work on voluntarism and dispossession in community health work. Have a listen and share with anyone who might be interested
This week on #TheKenyanist, we unpack the layers of voluntary labor in healthcare: We discuss how community health workers emerged to fill the gap of inadequate healthcare systems in Kenya.

Gary Lineker: "This is the mistake the BBC makes. The BBC tries to appease the people that hate the BBC... rather than worrying about the people that love the BBC.."
there is zero accountability in academia. it takes the worst of private sector profit-seeking & combines it with public sector over-bureaucratization and dysfunction. then calls itself a charity. both private and public sectors in UK have made progress on this: why can't we?
The male bully is the Director, the victim is female on a fixed-term contract
How many times do we see this?
A woman on a fixed-term contract is frankly unsafe in many UK universities

personally, I think MPs should be paid more and their other income activities seriously curtailed. this is what breeds corruption and elite capture, as privileged MPs find other ways to benefit / compensate. no pay rise without reform imho

wonderful. and what an excellent, warm scarf. was an honour to spend some time with you yesterday evening @fnoluga during your trip
It’s great pleasure to meet and chat Dr. Iziaq Salako @SalakoIziaq who is the Hon. Minister of Health for the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
I represented @MOH_Kenya at the @WHO Satelite event in London exploring health partnership strategies for Africa.
We ended up with an even worse agency - Diversity Travel (who weirdly don't have any statement on their values or what they do in terms of diversity). Even more expensive than Key Travel but even less competent (with no regional knowledge) - despite complaints we still have them!
Key Travel strikes again
In many cases, Key Travel is much more costly than what academics can obtain by booking travel themselves
Some universities force academics to use Key Travel
In @Cambridge_Uni, we've been protesting to senior administrators for years
Noone listens

Kenyan data workers face mental strain while training AI systems
Kenyan data workers are facing mental strain while training the AI systems. An invisible workforce in the Global South powers the AI revolution, earning significantly less than their Western counterparts. In Kenya, data workers are left traumatised and distressed by the job.
