Elon Musk’s estimated KSh142.45T fortune could finance Kenya’s KSh4.82T annual budget about 29 times and still leave KSh2.67T. That is nearly three decades of national spending held in one man’s paper wealth—not cash. The scale of global inequality is staggering.
@AfricanHub_ How much can he pay god for extra life, or something? Or it’s just the record books for him? I remember back in the day when Bill was at the top, it comes not to mean much. If I could get just a B though, just one.😆
BREAKING: Patients are stranded in hospitals across the country due to the failure of the SHA system for 5 straight days.
Many say they walked into hospitals believing SHA would cover treatment for their loved ones because they had paid their contributions.
Instead, they were told the system isn't working.
Think about that.
-You pay into SHA every month.
-Your child falls sick.
-Your mother needs an MRI scan.
-Your father needs surgery.
-Then you're told: "The system is down."
And it gets worse.
For every day SHA remains unavailable, patients in wards continue accumulating bills that they may be forced to pay themselves.
-This is not a website crashing.
-This is not a social media app going offline.
-This is healthcare.
-These are people's lives.
This is the same system Kenyans were told cost over KSh 100 billion.
A system sold as the future of healthcare.
Yet patients are being left stranded when they need it most.
Meanwhile, Health CS Aden Duale continues moving around the country declaring SHA a success story.
The question is: success for whom?
Because the reality being experienced by many patients and families is very different from the picture being painted at press conferences and public events.
If you, a relative, or someone you know has been affected by SHA failures, share your experience in the replies.
Let Kenyans hear directly from the people standing in hospital queues, sleeping in wards, and struggling to raise money for treatment while the system meant to help them remains unavailable.
Duale can keep telling us that SHA is working.
In reality, patients trapped in hospitals tell a different story.
