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. Promising comprehensive health coverage for all Kenyans, SHIF was touted as the panacea to the ailing healthcare system. Yet, beneath its veneer of promise lies a ta

Alfred Ng'ang'a Mutua has lost the plot

Personally, I find Ng'ang'a's novice attempt at propaganda laughable, and quite honestly, very desperate. Judge for yourselves...











And here's a real gem from the good doctor, and now writer of local soap operas extraordinaire:


WHY GOVERNMENT HAS CANCELLED LIVE BROADCAST
The Government by requesting media houses not to air live press conferences and call-ins into radio shows wants to empower editors to be in control of the information relayed by their media houses.

However, editors are free to screen whatever they want a few minutes later after they have reviewed the material.

Technically other than breaking news there isnt too much in terms of live broadcasts on tv.
Because even news is edited before time for clarity and time. Not to say that I agree with what the muzzling of the media but we both know that editors can choose to broadcast the exact same thing they were going to broadcast live.
