We observe the trend; Governors visit health centres & hospitals, parade health workers, decry poor state, intimidate health workers & all sorts of PR stunts. We will not stop you, but while at it make your contributions to the health care sector in your counties.

We ask you to make those county hospitals your first point of call when you fall ill and not run for covers or to the city. Make healthcare work in your Counties BY HIRING & TRAINING DOCTORS Remit NHIF and other statutory deductions.

Threats to health workers are outdated. Equip and facilitate service delivery by adequate funding. Pay doctors and healthcare workers on time. When your terms come to an end remember you may wish you did better. Helicopters, Airstrips and Roads will not treat you.

Prioritize peoples’ health as part of your populist projects. Erecting expensive bill boards, praising yourselves on TV and newspaper adverts, setting up unnecessary offices, buying new furniture and cars may seem stylish.

But know Kenyans loathe these because as you do it it's at the expense of their health. When you fail to pay salaries & buy drugs all the while pointing fingers at doctors it is inhuman.
INSTEAD implement CBA & have structured engagement.

ACTION!!! Offer better leadership and better governance than this.

Kenyans will support you and praise you if you do this.
