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.

Hacker posts Hitler photo on State House website

KAMPALA - The official website of State House was last evening pulled down after unknown people hacked into it and posted a picture of the Nazi German dictator Adolf Hitler. The image stayed on the site for more than 24 hours having been posted on Saturday until about 4:00pm on Sunday when the site was finally pulled down.

The controversial posts, conspicuous on the home page, were posted below the picture of President Museveni greeting the Masaka Municipality MP, John Kawanga during a meeting at Munyonyo Resort on May 25.

ICT Minister Aggrey Awori said State House has been a target of such attacks and blamed the cyber crime on opposition elements both within the country and outside whom he said were in the business of “electronic harassment” against State House and the government. He said a new set of cyber laws that the government is pushing forward will help “track them and put them away”. Ms Nabusayi said State House would terminate the contract of the service provider.
