Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has called on Kenyans to take part in the government’s new health program, Taifa Care, regardless of their political views.
In a recent statement, Kuria humorously advised, "Even if you don't want President Ruto, at least join Taifa Care, get health care so that you live a long life and then you can abuse him."
His words have sparked reactions from the public, as he used humor to promote the government’s healthcare plan.
Taifa Care is a new health initiative introduced under President William Ruto’s administration.
It is designed to replace the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) and provide affordable and accessible healthcare to all Kenyans.
The government aims to ensure that no one is left behind, particularly vulnerable groups who struggle to afford medical services.
In his remarks, Kuria emphasized that health is a critical issue, regardless of one’s political allegiance.
"You can disagree politically, but don’t ignore your health," he added. His statement highlights the importance of prioritizing personal well-being over political differences.
While some Kenyans found humor in Kuria’s words, others criticized his approach, feeling that it distracted from more serious concerns.
Many are skeptical about the program's effectiveness, wondering if it will be able to deliver on its promises.
The success of Taifa Care depends largely on its implementation and whether it can address the healthcare challenges many people face, especially in rural areas.
Supporters of the government have welcomed the initiative, seeing it as a positive step toward universal health coverage.
However, the program has not been without controversy, as some people argue that the government should focus on improving the economy and reducing the cost of living, which affects hea lthcare access.
