i wake up, i cry over spilt milk, put all of my eggs in one basket, bite off more than i can chew, jump the gun, fly off the handle and then die on that hill
my mom started volunteering with autistic children and annoyed one nonverbal student so bad that he literally spoke for the very first time in his life to tell her to shut up
Ruto just spent 40 minutes trying to create a false equivalence between our national values set out in the constitution and his so called “development”. Kenyans, please trust me when i tell you there is a reason the Preamble comes before Article 43. You don’t get to the “development “ clauses until and unless you have taken into account the reasons we passed this constitution in the first place. Democracy, Human Rights, Freedom, Equality, Rule of Law and Social Justice.
For us parents raising children with disabilities, @edwinsifuna called us for a meeting in his office with @CrystalAsige after I tweeted him explaining all the challenges we face. They listened to us
A week later amendments to the PWD bill were done
It's now an Act of Parliament.
Ask yourself the question John Rawls asked. If you did not know in advance whether you would be born rich or poor, healthy or sick, in Karen or in Kibra, what health system would you design? You would not design this one. You would never accept a system where a card in your pocket means nothing because the state owes hospitals eight billion shillings. Behind that veil of ignorance, SHA as it stands is indefensible.
The failure is technical before it is political. This government confused coverage with effective coverage. It ran a registration drive and called it reform, while ignoring the machinery that makes cover real, which is strategic purchasing, timely provider payment, and supply side readiness. Amartya Sen taught us that health is not a commodity you announce. It is a freedom you enable. A sick citizen who cannot reach care is not free, no matter how many names sit on a database.
There is a psychology to this too. When a people are promised care and handed paperwork again and again, they learn a quiet helplessness. They stop expecting the state to work, and a nation that stops expecting is a nation that stops demanding. I am backing Edwin Sifuna because a government can be rebuilt around effective coverage and paid providers, and I want to help design that machinery. What would you build behind the veil, if you did not know your place?
A friend who is an experienced international chef with 20 years of experience has told me that no goose in the history of cooking has ever been cooked like the president's goose.
