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.

Speaking at a press conference, NCCK Secretary General Rev. Canon Peter Karanja has said that they doubt the competence of the current crop of leaders to midwife the process of resolving the current political impasse and thus the 2007 election should be annulled to pave way for fresh elections. They are also urging for the resignation of the current ECK leadership, the dismissal of all returning officers and recruitment of new ones to pave way for reconstitution of a fresh electoral body, and that wide consultations be made within political parties regarding the appointment of the commissioners to ensure the new body is credible.

Karanja has gone further to accuse parties involved in the mediation process for showing bad faith in the discussions adding that calls for mass action are irresponsible owing to the loss of live and destruction of property from the earlier calls for Mass Demonstration. He has said that the forum recognizes that their proposal has immense implications and has urged all Kenyans to remain calm and maintain peace and dignity as they wait for the negotiating team to reach an agreement that favors Kenyans.

The damage that has already been done is immense. We do not need any more.
