The Government of Kenya is awash with surplus funds, to the extent that it struggles to deploy them meaningfully. This financial glut has seemingly emboldened officials to seek frivolous avenues for expenditure. For instance, allocating KES 500 million to host the so-called 'Africa Grammy Awards' Where is the rigorous cost-benefit analysis to justify this expenditure? Moreover, is this investment even refundable in the event of unforeseen contingencies?
Meanwhile, the country faces an escalating crisis among medical interns, many of whom are succumbing to mental health challenges, with some tragically resorting to suicide after enduring protracted periods of unpaid labor. How is it conceivable that we have money to remit to a U.S.-based institution for hosting a ceremonial event, yet fail to remunerate those at the frontline of safeguarding public health?
I have fallen ill during this internship period not because I contacted the ailment from my house. No! It's in the wards where I work tirelessly without days off to save Kenyans. Then this shit of a government wants me to work without even a risk allowance. Fuck this government!
Heri Ruto na hii serikali yake wangegeuzwa tu githeri watu wale kwa matanga juu hizi ni nini tunafanyiwa surely. Wizi left right and centre, kulipia vitu havitusaidia. Mlaaaniwe nyote mnaohangaisha Wakenya

This government has money to pay for Grammy's but no money to pay junior doctors who slave in the hospitals with risk of contacting deadly ailments. Ooh my! What are these we have for leaders??

Take care of me and I take care of patients. Healthcare is a right and Kenyans are entitled to quality healthcare. That'll not happen if junior doctors are undermined, neglected and mistreated.

@MOH_Kenya@DeboraBarasa@TheStarKenya@DeboraBarasa how exactly are you expecting to have quality healthcare in this country if your doctors are overworked and underpaid?
What a big shame! And to make matters worse you’re a doctor how sad! Pay Doctors their dues!
Dr. Angela Nambiro – Medical Officer Intern: Intern doctors face dangerous conditions, long hours, and no risk allowance, yet we get salary cuts while MPs and ministers enjoy raises. Mr. President, walk a 36-hour shift with us and see why we deserve better pay and treatment

Medical interns are saying they want salaries based on the previously agreed collective bargaining agreement of 2017 @psmuthoni ....anza kuprocess payments because we're not leaving until we get our dues !!!
