Kenyan Medics Protest UHC Fund Mismanagement, Play Viral Audio of CS Duale
Kenyan healthcare workers took to the streets of Nairobi today to protest what they describe as the misappropriation of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) funds. The demonstration, which took place outside the National Treasury building, saw hundreds of medics chanting slogans and displaying banners. A key element of the protest was the playing of a viral audio clip featuring Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale's statement, "This money isn't yours!" One protester, who wished to remain anonymous, stated, "We are tired of empty promises. We need transparency and accountability in how UHC funds are used." The protest underscores the growing concerns about healthcare funding and access in Kenya, and the government's response will be closely watched. The demonstration ended peacefully, but the medics have vowed to continue their fight for fair allocation of resources.
