Today, I was in Garissa for the Nikah ceremony of my colleague and friend, Dr. Farhan Abdi Mahat, as he married Yasmin Dekow, daughter of Garissa Township MP, Hon. Major (Rtd) Delow Barrow. The wedding brought together an impressive gathering of national and county leaders, business leaders, professionals, elders, family and friends from across the region. I was especially humbled when the Chief Guest, Cabinet Secretary for Health, Hon. Aden Duale Hon. Aden Duale, EGH, warmly introduced me to the congregation and generously acknowledged the sophistication and advanced capabilities of Dr. Kalebi Labs (DKL). Throughout the ceremony, I found myself reflecting on how deeply Garissa has shaped my own journey. It was here, in October 2005, fresh from specialist pathology training at University of Nairobi, that I requested to be posted to the then Garissa Provincial General Hospital, becoming its first consultant pathologist - and the first pathologist to serve the entire North Eastern Province since Kenya’s independence. I came at the invitation of the then Medical Superintendent, Dr. Khadija, wife of Hon. Farah Maalim, not fully appreciating then how remote and underserved the region was. That decision became one of the greatest blessings of my career. The laboratory I found then had enormous challenges: essential investigations were unavailable, equipment was broken, reagents were scarce, staff morale was low, and clinicians had understandably lost confidence in the service. With the support of a committed Hospital Management Team, we rebuilt the laboratory into a centre of excellence, helping Garissa PGH attain internship training status later that year. Without realising it then, Garissa changed me. It was my epiphany. It shifted my vision of pathology from an academic discipline to a lifelong mission of bringing world-class diagnostics to underserved communities through innovation, entrepreneurship and practical service. That experience planted the seed that eventually led me to build modern laboratory networks and, years later, found DKL DKL Dr. Kalebi Labs. The vision has never changed: making advanced, high-quality diagnostics accessible to all. Returning to Garissa over two decades later, and hearing DKL recognised in the very place where that dream first took root, was profoundly moving. It reminded me that Allah’s plans often unfold in ways we cannot foresee. Sometimes the places that shape us most are the ones we least expect. To Dr. Farhan, Yasmin and their respective families, thank you for allowing us to share in your beautiful day. بارك الله لهما وبارك عليهما وجمع بينهما في خير 𝐵𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑘𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑎ℎ𝑢 𝑙𝑎ℎ𝑢𝑚𝑎 𝑤𝑎 𝑏𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑘𝑎 ‘𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑦ℎ𝑖𝑚𝑎 𝑤𝑎 𝑗𝑎𝑚𝑎’𝑎 𝑏𝑎𝑦𝑛𝑎ℎ𝑢𝑚𝑎 𝑓𝑖 𝑘ℎ𝑎𝑦𝑟. May Allah (SWT) bless their union, shower them with His mercy, fill their marriage with barakah, and grant them a lifetime of love, tranquillity, peace and happiness. Ameen.
