    "content": "in one way or the other. We know that on the economic front, major sectors have been affected by COVID-19. Back home, we want to say the truth and it will free us. His Excellency the President and the Government of Kenya went out of their way to mobilize resources and established a framework to address coordination of COVID-19 but what happened? The stakeholders who were given the mandate to implement the framework and to use the money properly have misused the resources and have let down Kenyans when we are losing Kenyans in a big way. They have misused the resources. They must take responsibility. These people must individually, institutionally and at the county level take responsibility. We know that health is devolved and the national Government has given resources to our counties, but what are we seeing? We are seeing horrible things at our health facilities and institutions. We have seen frontline medical personnel crying out. I was touched when I saw Dr. Nyikal break down. That shows a state of helplessness, that we can neither help nor do anything. This is a bad image for the country. This time round, if these people are not held to account for the resources that had been mobilized for COVID-19, then there will be no other day that we will hold people to account for misuse and mismanagement of resources in this country."
