The government should fund health care [among other things] from our taxes! But with a government that spends 90%+ on recurrent expenditure, what do you expect? This government is extremely top heavy and should shed it's weight ASAP to free up resources. One of the best quotes from Kibaki when he won the election was that he will have a very lean government. His words exactly were "Even when a fellow is too fat he is not very efficient" or something to that extent. Too bad we ended up with the 'fattest fellow' in the history of Kenya under his watch.
On the NHIF rates, this is highway robbery. This money will not improve health care one bit. And to make matters worse, you are not given an option to join or hit the highway. ABK!!! COTU should fight to the hilt. I hope this time round, the middle class, who will be the most affected by the way, will support/join COTU whatever their next course of action is. Hapana mambo ya kungoja updates kwa TV!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
