6 Mar 2025 in Senate:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, think about it all the same. On the issue of the Social Health Authority (SHA), one, if people who do not like SHA must fight it, they should do so with facts. I have seen excuses one after another, up to and including from the media in today's headline calling a doctor of Medicine, Dr. Deborah Mulongo Barasa, clueless; a girl who scored a straight A and went to the School of Medicine at the University of Nairobi (UoN), qualified without being referred in a single subject, went on and specialised in Internal Medicine, and you ...
