Gideon Moi Reveals How He Will Destroy Ruto, Succession Intrigues Rock Judiciary as Maraga Exits & Kidero Goes After ODM Governor’s Seat

Good morning fellow Kenyans,

Today I am forced to talk about the predicament facing the health sector in the country.

After medical doctors suspended their strike to allow for further negotiations on key issues they want to be sorted, Kenyans are still feeling the pinch of the ongoing health worker strike across the country.

One might be mistaken to imagine that healthcare workers are inhumane because of the timings but the question that begs for an answer is, how will the nurses protect Kenyans’ lives if they are dying miserably?

It is undisputed fact that majority of Kenyans are only a step away from poverty if they or their family members require extremely special medical care maybe because of a serious disease or accident.

What medical workers need is just provision of basic needs; timely payment of salaries, provision of efficient and quality working tools as well as properly structured promotion plan.

All these can be made possible if the government finds a long-lasting solution to this predicament.  Health workers commission is the real deal here.

County governments have proved to be poor managers of health workers, we can’t gamble with them anymore. Just the way teachers are sorted with the Teachers Service Commission, the same can be done for nurses. Let the government get it done.

That aside, here are top stories of the day:
