Coronavirus: Kakamega Homeboyz coach Muyoti calls for divine intervention

Kakamega Homeboyz head coach Nicholas Muyoti has urged all to pray and ask for divine intervention in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

On Thursday, the Kenyan government announced 110 Covid-19 cases in the country with three casualties.

The former Harambee Stars midfielder believes only the divine power can stop the pandemic which has led to the suspension of all the sporting activities in most countries.

“From [Friday] at noon, let us go on our knees,” Muyoti posted on his official Facebook account.

“Let us all say a prayer to God, the only power that can stop this pandemic. It does not matter what religion you are, God is one, God is Great, and God is good.

“Go on your knees wherever you will be and say that prayer, God will save us, Amen!”

A couple of days ago, Homeboyz players agreed to a 50% salary cut as one way of helping the country deal with the coronavirus pandemic, following President Uhuru Kenyatta’s plea on March 25.

President Kenyatta and his deputy agreed to take a 80% pay cut and Kakamega Homeboyz are the first Kenyan Premier League (KPL) side to follow suit.

Muyoti’s side was enjoying a good run before the KPL was suspended in mid-March and are second with 47 points and have one game in hand compared to leaders Gor Mahia.

K’Ogalo are leading with 54 points from 23 matches.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs NewsColony Perhaps it’s appropriate that public notices of the COVID-19 crisis began as an ableist cruelty. Health officials assured the nation that only the elderly and those with chronic health conditions would be seriously affected; most Americans (i.e., the normal people) would have only mild symptoms and be fine. x A friendly reminder: people who will be high-risk patients if we get coronavirus can hear you when you reassure everyone we’re the only ones who might die. Ã¢Â€Â” Alexandra Brodsky (@azbrodsky) February 29, 2020 Soon after the announcement of those assurances, the likelihood of high-risk people surviving was further limited by the people more likely to be fine. Shopping frenzies cleared stores of essential supplies needed everyday by many disabled people, like thermometers, hand wipes, masks, and IV infusion supplies. Accustomed to their needs ...

JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97!

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says. ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
