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.
Victim shot dead in Tuesday Nanyuki protest identified as Sylvester Ndung'u, a 16-year-old Form Three Student, Laikipia East Police Commander Daniel Kitavi confirms.
UK military personnel are now being deployed to arrest Nanyuki protesters. The UK flag on the uniform indicates a special unit remotely recruited to serve British interests in Kenya.
Heavily armed DCI officers in a white Subaru have stormed Great Wall Gardens, Athi River and abducted a man among people protesting water shortage in the estate.
The man was seen being gun-whipped before being bundled into a Subaru Sedan.
This brilliant student had to diee for Americans. As Marco Rubio said, “Americans must be protected by all means.”
He was killed in protection of the US Ebola Facility.
You used to claim that Hon. Ndindi Nyoro had delivered massive development in his constituency because he allegedly had influence over bigger allocations.
Now let me ask you plainly, by that same standard you were using then, how much tarmac have you actually delivered for your own people? And how many schools have you upgraded with cabros, classrooms, or even basic infrastructure that can be pointed at without excuses?
Incorrect. He had a visa. From the US Embassy in Nairobi. It was valid. They vetted him there, and gave him a visa.
Then he landed in Miami, was detained for 11 hours, and deported to Istanbul.
THEN they branded him a terrorist.
A FIFA referee, simply because he’s Somali.
Chilling scenes are coming out of the recent protests in MMU: trigger happy Kiganjo D- terrorists running helter-skelter inside the school, looking to unload taxpayer funded magazines on Kenyan students. The same students, unfortunately, are still parroting stupid GoK slogans.
Three protesters shot dead in Nanyuki. Students shot inside their own hostel at Multimedia University.
Hooded, unidentifiable officers firing live rounds on unarmed Kenyans.
This is not law enforcement. This is the constitution being violated in broad daylight.
As we approach the 2nd anniversary of June 25, we must refuse to normalise what we are witnessing.
Accountability is not optional. It is what justice looks like in practice.
Here is my statement on the current pattern of violence by the Police:
