It is almost one year since the first case of Covid-19 was confirmed in Kenya.
Since then, close to 1,900 people have died from complications of the virus, and nearly 106,000 people have been infected.
As the Health Cabinet Secretary and the one leading the Government’s response to the deadly respiratory virus, Mutahi Kagwe has been a key figure in the past year.
But according to the CS, the country is not just facing the coronavirus pandemic but a pandemic of greed, profiteering and bureaucracy.
This greed evident in the production of fake Covid-19 tests and now, as the country rolls out a vaccination programme with intent to involve the private sector, there are fears about integrity of the exercise.
supplementary budget states that the health budget remains more or less the same with only slight upward adjustments probably to cater for inflationary trends.
