‘They’re Jealous of Me’, Nakhumicha Finally Responds Recent Criticism.
‘They’re Jealous of Me’ : Speaking at Trans Nzoia County on Friday, March 22, Nakumicha asserted that those pinning accusations against her were driven by jealousy towards her accomplishments and contributions to the Ministry.
She stated, “I have worked so hard for the Health Sector and people are getting jealous and bringing about chaos.”
She went ahead to accuse individuals implicated in the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) and National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) scandals as sponsors of the attacks she has recently been getting.
“I want to assure you now that people have noticed how I’m planning my work and those thieves from KEMSA and NHIF are sponsoring these things.”
According to CS Nakhumicha, her efforts to advocate for the lowering of NHIF deductions from Ksh500 to Ksh300 was the main cause for recent attacks launched towards her.
She said,”When I said we reduce the NHIF from Ksh500 to Ksh300, they said I was wrong. When I said those without money to get funded by the government, they said I’m wrong.”
Attacks against the cabinet secretary, have made rounds in social media, with the doctors’ strike still in place.
The strike which has now entered the second week, has condemned the health sector, airing discontent on the capability of the current CS as chants of “Nakhumicha must go! filled the streets.
