Universal healthcare is nothing more than a hollow pipe dream and political theater as long as healthcare workers remain unemployed. The Senate must move beyond performative tweeting and execute its mandate through rigorous oversight and aggressive financial reallocation. The Chair of the Senate Health Committee knows that the devolution of human resources has failed; it is time to stop diagnosing the problem and urgently centralize human resources to save a collapsing system.

[Dr. Kareem @AbdikarimAbdow]

Ministry of Health officials: If you have time to attend endless UHC conferences, you have time to fix the mess in our hospitals. Start by paying interns who work 80+ hours a week saving lives.

In conformity with the court orders, we have just concluded our meeting to dot the I's and cross the T's in an effort to put together a return to work formula. We reiterate, we don't have to agree, we just have to do the right thing. We are on way with a meeting at the moment with Ministry of Health to do the same.
May Justice Be Our Shield and Defender

@MOH_Kenya You failed to mention that these doctors doing their masters still offer services in hospitals such as KNH, MTRH and have never been paid. What KMPDU is asking is to stop modern day slavery and pay their salaries .

[Diamonds DK @DiamondDk20]

@MOH_Kenya In other news the government isn't broke... Just acting funny

[Mars Group Kenya @Marsgroupkenya]

Just pay the doctors.
Its our taxes that pay the doctors and we want them paid.

We would be happy if the doctors earned more than what we pay our useless members of Parliament & Cabinet.
At the very least, doctors save lives whilst the others destroy lives.

Pay the doctors!

After stealing money meant for stadiums, scamming Kenyans seeking greener pastures in the Gulf and embezzling Gatundu South CDF monies, @HonMoses_Kuria could afford medical care at the American Hospital in Dubai.

Today he’s yapping like a domesticated gibbon berating the very doctors they promised to address their grievances during campaigns.

These useless and retarded old bastards need to learn the art of shutting up. Who is he getting worked up for? Tunakulanga kwako? Umbwa wewe.

GoK mandarins should lecture their families and dependants. Not us who pay their salaries. When you speak on TV, be respectful.

3am during a night shift, admitting mothers in labor. My MO left me clearing the emergency CS list, and dropped by later to see how I was doing. He took this photo and sent me the next day, captioned "Maternity is not for the weak".

Get this: If President William Ruto appoints Chief Administrative Secretaries (CASs), they're set to roll in a staggering Ksh.780,000 gross salary!

SRC's evaluation puts a cap on CAS salaries at Ksh.780,000, a tad higher than the Ksh.710,000 monthly pocket change for MPs. But wait, there's more: this hefty package breaks down to Ksh.459,113 in basic pay, Ksh.165,000 for housing, and a cool Ksh.155,887 for salary market adjustments.

But hold onto your seats, because it doesn't end there. CASs also get sweet rides, courtesy of the government, with an official GK car—3000cc or less, though, no need to be too flashy.

And get this: SRC's Chair Lyn Mengich isn't just whispering this info to one person—oh no! She's sending letters to Head of Public Service Felix Koskei, Treasury's Chris Kiptoo, Public Service's Amos Gathecha, and Auditor General Nancy Gathungu, making sure everyone's in the loop.

But wait, there's more! These CASs also score a killer medical package, with Ksh.10 million for inpatient care, Ksh.300,000 for outpatient, maternity at Ksh.150,000, dental at Ksh.75,000, and optical at Ksh.75,000. Plus, they can extend this health bonanza to a spouse and up to four kids under 25.

And just when you thought it couldn't get juicier, the National Assembly slides in a bill green-lighting these appointments, scrapping previous caps on the number of CASs. Now, President Ruto has the golden ticket to appoint as many as he pleases.

[Barare MD, HSC @DrEnock_MBChB]

@WilliamsRuto didn't have his @StateHouseKenya budget slashed.
County govmnts always ask for more money from NG. New CASs didn't get slashed salaries. But for doctor interns it's where you draw the line. @AnneWaiguru wacha mchezo ya NYS hapa.

[Barare MD, HSC @DrEnock_MBChB]

Madam @AnneWaiguru , Doctor interns don't do practicals during internship. I did clinical work (the practicals you mean) in year 4,5,6. Practicals are done in labs, in pre-clinical years. Stop misleading the public.

@gabrieloguda Until the time our leaders don't have private insurance and are forced to be treated in the public hospitals. Only then will we see a difference

[Gabriel Oguda @gabrieloguda]

When you see the Kenyan church speaking like this, just know the ground is boiling nicely just like the doctor ordered, and we will be there no matter what.

Shame on you @AnneWaiguru. Shame on you again. Our mothers at your age forgot about lying. You are here lying right through your teeth. Compare the two.
Shame on you. Age, hasn't helped with some semblance of honesty.

Fellow Kenyans, Drs. & Comrades
The Gov. is supposed to be the servant. But when a government can tax the people with no limit or restraint on what the government can take,same Gov. has taken too much liberty with the Constitution.

[Alinoor Abdullahi @AlinoorAbd25493]

When Gov. gets too big and FREEDOM is lost then the Gov. has become the master!
As a country we can no longer have the laxity where Money is readily available in abundance for Politicians but not for improving public Heath-care
