THE EYESORE OF NHIF

In the recent past there has been a lot of talk about the newly introduced health care in Kenya, mainly targeting the public sector employees.
There have been very candid and specific questions asked; who oversaw the procurement process? was the due process followed? why were some facilities identified as existent whereas they were not? what is the institutional capacity to handle the traffic without compromise?
This saga is slowly turning into a scandle in the making. while valid concerns have been raised and questions asked, there seems to be no satisfactory answer.
Generally, we are witnessing a scheme by the government to effect double taxation on its employees. First, withdraw the meager medical allowance, then impose a reloaded deduction all  totaling to over 4,000 Ksh per month.
The manner in which this is handled qualifies it to be an eye sore in current Kenya where everyone is super vigilant at least going by the recent happenings in the Judiciary last week.
So, whose head is next on the chopping board?

Best of Luck!
