One of the dailies yesterday reported death of a mother and child due to excessive bleeding as she could not be attended by the striking health workers. But this was not Minister Nyong'os wife and child or of any other of the ruling class or business elites. In this a case a person has not eaten a dog this is no news. State insensitiveness to various striking workers' groups is at its peak, this goverment is broke when is workers are on strike but still bloated with non-perfoming minister and assistant minister(42 minister and over 100 assistant ministers) all earning over a million kenya shilllings). You can easily tell the place of kenyan worker in the 'busy' schedule of kenyan politician, who neither nor his family requires the services of a peasant health worker. In real sense the services of a peasant health worker are only required by another peasant a farmer, a mechanic, a boda boda operator, house wife,a helpeless child and of the nurses household members. The media an ally of the ruling class has not made it easy for the striking peasants making them look bad from the ailing peasants eye while the real culprit seats pretty in their luxurios offices.The very result the ruling class want to see , the peasants despising each other instead standing united. Have unity filled day people.
