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.


We have listened to the views of Kenyans. The proposed 16% VAT on bread has been dropped. To support on reducing the cost of living we are doing something about vegetable oil so that we don’t make it expensive for Kenyans. Transfer of mobile services is key to many Kenyans and therefore we have proposed that we do not have any increase on taxation on mobile phone transfer: MP Kuria Kimani





Some of the Cabinet Secretaries (about 6 to 7) in H.E Ruto's Cabinet are soo low key and probably incompetent that you don't hear of them at all. They are AWOL. Many Kenyans genuinely feel these Cabinet offices have been vacant for the past three years. These low key/absentee CSs come in office in the morning, read newspapers, have tea/mandasi, make telephone calls to friends and relatives, eat lunch & then go back home. I'm not being spiteful...I'm honestly asking...do we have "substantive" CSs in the ministries of Environment, Gender, Labour, water, East Africa Community, Agriculture...And why isnt H.E Ruto not making REAL appointments to run these critical ministries?
