Hiding persons with HIV causing more harm than good

Going by the kind of discourse Kenyans have been engaging in since the dawn of the Millennium, it will not be mistaken to claim that this great nation could be well on its way to becoming a model nation—for the whole world.  And possibly that will be in 2030; if not, Kenya will have attained its vision just before it clicks the year 3,000. If not that year, it may delay, but by all means, it seems Kenya will arrive to the expected destiny very soon.

Some of the issues that have been grabbing the world’s attention in recent times include whether we should legalize all forms of abortion or not; whether we legalize homosexuality or not; whether we have a devolved government or not; whether we have a digital government or not; whether we have techo-cities (such as Konza) or not; whether we dress the way we want or not (My Dress My Choice); whether we talk what or the way we want(when does honest criticism become 'hate speech?). And just last week, President Uhuru sparked debate on revealing HIV status after directing that HIV statuses be made public when necessary especially if one has been infected. The debate has jarred some Kenyans into wondering why not, since the My Dress My Choice, 'My Sexual Orientation My Choice' debates, incorporate 'My Status My Choice' into the mix, and thereby further increase our chances of being the most democratic nation in the world? And many such kinds of dialogue.
