Since #lipakamatender, we've said the biggest problem of our healthcare is political. Our politicians are just stupid. They don't understand healthcare, wont consult professionals who understand, yet they make decisions based on optics, not effectiveness.
The media has done the public a disservice by sensationalizing the problems with social services but not explaining them. They focus on government statements, optics and mistakes by professionals, and nothing else. Yet whatever government says is often not what government does
As Dr. Kimani said, it is more important for media to be patients' advocates, than doctors' accusers. The same for education: the media and businesses have been bashing educators and not asking us what problems we teachers face or asking about the children. @MarkMasai #presspass
In all my interviews on #curriculumreformsKE #newcurriculum, the media doesn't ask me what the education system means for the children. Instead, they follow the government script and want me to confirm or critique what the government says or hasn't done @markemasai #presspass
The media doesn't ask questions like: how are surgeries supposed to be planned? What is supposed to happen in classroom? So the media attacks professionals but doesn't understand what for, since they don't ask what the ideal is supposed to be @MarkMasai #presspass
