Governors Call for CS Barasa & PS Kimutai’s Resignation Over SHA Crisis as Reshuffle Looms

The Council of Governors (CoG) has called for the immediate resignation of Health Cabinet Secretary Debora Barasa and Permanent Secretary for Medical Services Harry Kimutai.

While speaking on the ongoing crisis in the health sector that has since seen medical practitioners down their tools in most parts of the country, the CoG has blamed the stalled service on the CS and the PS.

CoG Whip Stephen Sang has blamed Barasa and Kimutai for wanting to sabotage President William Ruto's Universal Health Coverage (UHC) agenda, and that is why they were paralyzing the sector. "I am wondering if the Health CS and PS want to sabotage the president's agenda on UHC.

If you want to sabotage the agenda, then resign from those offices and allow other qualified Kenyans who can be able to deliver the services,' Sang said.
