Recent data from the Ministry of Health shows that 26 counties have been flagged for high maternal mortality rates, far exceeding the national average of 355 deaths per 100,000 live births. standardmedia.co.ke/health/reprodu…
Rigathi Gachagua claims teachers, in the new medical cover, are limited to KSh 1,200 daily. That is misleading. The reality is that the Mwalimu Cover under this administration is one of the most comprehensive health schemes in the public sector. Teachers now enjoy inpatient cover ranging from KSh 1 million to KSh 3 million, outpatient cover of up to KSh 450,000 and access to over 6,000 health facilities nationwide; services easily accessible through the Afyangu app. What has changed is not the benefit, but the discipline in how public funds are used.
I know it hurts a lot, but the truth is : Fuel isn’t “free money.” Cheaper fuel means less levy revenue for roads. Kenya has 164,967 km of roads, 15.1% paved (24,868 km); Uganda has 146,000 km, 4.4% paved (6,466 km); Tanzania has 181,000 km, 8% paved (15,000 km). Kenya uses a fuel/roads levy, and cheaper fuel still means less road funding unless the gap is covered elsewhere. The choice is simple: lower taxes and cheaper fuel with slower road development, or higher levies and stronger road expansion. The opposition should stop turning every fuel conversation into cheap politics and blaming Ruto for everything.
Led the Kenyan delegation in receiving H.E. President @WilliamsRuto upon his arrival in Rome, Italy, ahead of a three-day State Visit. Over the next few days, we will drive high-level engagements focused on securing strategic partnerships and agreements that strengthen economic cooperation and elevate Kenya’s global standing.
