The president intervened. The sad reality is we are kicking the can down the road.
My two cents, health especially the human resource function should never have been devolved. There are far too many players ( ministry of health, 47 counties, SRC, min of labor, min of devolution, KMPDU) that need to come together for the fundamental issues to be addressed comprehensively. Health budgets are huge and attract vultures and hyenas entrenched in the political class. The political class travel outside Kenya or go to private hospitals for medical care and thus do not bear the brunt of underinvestment and fragmentation of the public health system.
