This is a betrayal of every Kenyan who depends on public healthcare. The government has made its priorities clear—billions more for MPs while slashing the health budget, the most reduced sector in the 2025/26 Budget Policy Statement.
Hospitals are running out of essential supplies, doctors and nurses are overworked and underpaid, and Kenyans are suffering in a crumbling healthcare system. Yet, instead of fixing this crisis, our leaders choose to enrich themselves.
At the same time, Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) are being mutilated and blatantly disrespected. Agreements meant to guarantee fair pay, better working conditions, and dignity for healthcare workers are tossed aside, while politicians ensure their benefits are untouched.
How can we provide quality care when salaries are delayed, facilities are understaffed, CBAs are ignored, and medics are forced to work in deplorable conditions? Healthcare is not a privilege—it is a fundamental right!
We demand full funding for our healthcare system and respect for the CBAs that protect our workforce.

🇺🇸 STEVE JOBS: THE BEST MANAGERS ARE GREAT CONTRIBUTORS... WHO NEVER WANTED TO BE MANAGERS
"At Apple, we thought hiring professional managers would make us a big company.
It didn’t work—most were bozos who could manage but couldn’t do anything else.
The best managers?
Great individual contributors who never wanted the job but took it because they knew no one else could do it as well."

Medical students do not get the chance to say a proper goodbye to their college lives.
During internship, they get posted in different departments and wards, and the friends who used to spend every moment together now find it hard to meet.
Then come the uncertainties��what’s next after the internship?
Some dream of heading to the US, others try to prepare during internship and even those who just want to enjoy the internship know that the entrance exams are coming..
And then, before you even realize it, the internship ends—quietly, without a farewell, without a moment to pause.
That one last get-together, the chance to relive old memories , just doesn’t happen.
For most, the next reunion is 10 or even 20 years down the line.
You end up missing the campus, the friendships, and that phase of life forever.
Every doctor should get the chance to say a proper goodbye—but sadly, it rarely works out that way.
I am not impressed by people who put a lot of letters behind their names, or a lot of titles in front.
I am impressed by:
Kindness
Humility
Generosity
Diligence
Integrity
Honesty
Good listening
Wisdom
I have known comrade Okoiti Omtatah for over a decade. I knew of him in 2008 when he chained himself at Vigilance House (Police Headquarters) after the 2007 post-election violence. As a photographer, l covered him during his days as a radical street activist. We became comrades, and friends in the struggle after l quit the newsroom and became an activist.
Omtatah is a believer in don’t raise your voice but raise your argument maxim. Even in the streets, he speaks bold truths softly. He is arguably one of the most consistent, and effective activists Kenya is lucky to have alive today. From his days in the streets to the senate, you can always trust that he has the people in his heart. He has continuously defended the common man with integrity, even almost getting murdered.
He lost his front tooth to the Kenya mafia after refusing millions of shillings in bribes to withdraw a case. One of the secrets to his courage is that he is a man of faith with an unshakeable belief in God. Just like Jesus Christ, you will find him in the company of sinners, but he will not sin, nor judge the sinners, and that level of emotional intelligence is needed in leadership. He doesn’t wear his faith as a sign of superiority but with a humble spirit of service.
His streets and courtroom activism have benefited millions of Kenyans, and it will be wise to repay that trust by electing him as president. Omtatah is the people’s servant and highly favoured to be Kenya’s next president.
Happy birthday my friend, and comrade @OkiyaOmtatah
@citizentvkenya A man who just returned from seeking medical treatment abroad now has the audacity to instruct Kenyans to register for a system that may well lead them to their untimely demise, while he himself will never subject himself to its efficacy.
Leadership is about vision, integrity, and the will to serve.
Ordinary Kenyans, not wealth or privilege, are the backbone of any true movement for change.
We will prove that a people-powered campaign can inspire hope and deliver a better future for all.
How does a needy intern from Nyalgunga Kolwese posted over 500kms from home for medical internship survive with no salary yet the public hospital don’t provide food, housing or transport? Yet they are supposed to dispense survives to unsuspecting Kenyans. Tumechoka sasa.
📣 We call on all interns to stay at home until the government immediately pays their salaries as agreed. On November 30, we will convene to address these injustices and issue a national strike notice.
