Ailing Healthcare: The Ruto Government's Betrayal of Kenyan Health

Explore the dire state of healthcare in Kenya under William Ruto's government, marred by the failure of the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) and conflicts of interest with Ruto's close associates. Discover how Kenyan hospitals are withdrawing services for NHIF cardholders, leaving citizens vulnerable and underserved... In the heart of Kenya's healthcare crisis lies a tangled web of betrayal and broken promises, orchestrated by the very government sworn to protect its citizens' well-being. As hospitals across the nation withdraw services for NHIF cardholders, the stark reality of William Ruto's failed governance comes sharply into focus. At the centre of this debacle looms the ill-fated Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF), a purported beacon of hope hastily ushered into law by the Ruto administration.

Reading between the lines: is Kibaki throwing in the towel?

Media reports indicate that president Kibaki could be throwing in the towel. On Tuesday, during a campaign tour of Ukambani, Kibaki made it clear that he would accept the verdict of voters in the upcoming General Election to be slated, for the first time ever, before Christmas. Said the President: “ The time has come for you voters to decide. If you think that I deserve another term, I will say thank you so much, but if you say I go home in preference to somebody else, I will do so in dignity.”

As we all know, Kenyans were offended at being reffered to as "pumbavu" and paid him with his own coin by showing him who the real "pumbavu" was.

ODM flag bearer Raila Odinga came under attack at various stages in the rally, with leaders accompanying the President cautioning voters against trusting him with their votes. But the leaders, who included Ministers John Michuki and Kivutha Kibwana and outgoing MP Adelina Mwau tactfully avoided portraying ODM-Kenya candidate Kalonzo Musyoka negatively.
