WHY MACHAKOS Universal Health Coverage - a program of the National Government funded by WorldBank might terribly fail before its inception.
 

1. In a PDF document circulated on MCcP colours elaborating on M-UHC, on point 6, Alfred Mutua declares that he will also start a Mutua Care Health program that will run concurrently with Universal Health Coverage program that is funded by the World bank.

2. The PDF document does not inform how the County Government of Machakos is prepared to support the program. I.e. ~What is the budget allocation if any? 
~Any plans to absorb new Doctors and health workers to ensure efficient service delivery to attend to the most likely increased  number of patients? 
~ Any partnerships with MEDS to improve on pharmaceutical supplies. NB; the County Government of Machakos is listed as one of the Counties that owe KEMSA Millions of Kenyan Shillings for failure to pay for drugs delivered.

3. The County Government should openly tell its residents that M - UHC will not cater for referral services outside Machakos County so that they can prepare adequately just in case their patients are referred to Kenyatta National Hospital or any other referral hospital out of Machakos County.

4. What is the advantage of Machakos Universal Health Coverage over National Health Insurance Cover?

Cabinet Secretary of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kenya Madam Sicily Kariuki must step in and ensure that the residents are properly enabled to benefit from the program. Civic education should also be incorporated to ensure that the residents understand and also involved in policy formulation. Access to affordable health care and the Machakos Universal Health Coverage opportunity should not be squandered.

    I think mutuM Alfred and his team have no idea what the uhcis all about. IysI not a scheme or health cover but a campaign towards making healthcare a human rights issue and supporting the laid out schemes that have been running over time. The Machakos team has misunderstood the whole idea of universal health coverage and I am afraid the WHO will strike them out of the pilot project! The target here should be NHIF being recommended and rolled out to all Kenyan citizen and the equivalent being done on other third world countries that have no comphrehensive health scheme. For Mutua to create MutuaCare, he misses the point and politicizes it. He's just duplicating NHIF and he's bound to fail. His health team of advisors is failing. Thanks

Members of Machakos County Assembly snub Wavinya Ndeti's Thanks Giving Ceremony. Members of Parliament from Ukambani on Saturday 28th September 2019  snubbed a thanks giving ceremony for KEWI Board Chair Wavinya Ndeti as the political disquiet over her appointment intensified. In an apparent protest, none of the 52 elected members of the Machakos County Assembly, the three Ukambani Senators, the three Ukambani Governors, the three Ukambani Women Reps turned up for the event at her Kinanie Home to celebrate Wavinya's appointment to the Board of Kenya Water Institute. The low-key event was, however, attended by ferried residents of Mlolongo and Athiriver wards. Former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka led the delegation of former legislators including Former Mp Reuben Ndolo, Former DG Mueke, Former Senator Muthama Nduya who were the only notable Leaders who showed up in the much publicized event. All the Machakos Legislators with the exception of the host MP Patrick Ma...

11 reasons why Female Empaths Struggle Finding the Right Man Empaths are one of the most wonderful and amazing people. Everyone should have an empaths in their life to make it more meaningful and special. However, while having a partner who is an empaths is one of the most beautiful things that can occur to a human being, at times it will be a great challenge for some men to be in a relationship with them. Why? Because empaths are very straightforward and sincere. They don’t play games. They don’t date around. They don’t test the waters. When it comes to relationships, they are all in. 1.        They know what they want. They don’t look for a one night stand. They don’t want a fling. They know what they want and it is a stable and committed relationship based on mutual love and trust. That’s why they’ll cut anyone who is not serious about them from the start. 2.        They value reliability Wishy washy men don’t s...

GOVERNOR KIRAITU MURUNGI RESPONDS MIGUNA MIGUNA. "H. E The Rt.Hon. Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga has been my friend since 1970. We are age mates and political comrades who both went to Parliament at the same time, in the same party called FORD-K. The Prime Minister met H.E Madam Ida Odinga, in March 1971 when Ida Odinga was a student of Bachelor of Education at the University of Nairobi, majoring in Geography. They dated for over one year, later on, engaged and wedded. The late Fidel Odinga was born in 1973, almost three years after both the Hon.Raila Odinga and Mama Ida had met, dated, got engaged and married. It's a desperate fallacy and a stupid lie, for Miguna Miguna who was only seven(7) years old when The Prime Minister and Mama Ida met, and merely ten (10) years old when the late Fidel Castro Macarius Odhiambo Odinga was born, to LIE to us that at the age of 7 years old, he had known who fathered who, let alone the Odingas. Miguna met the Odinga...
