It's not just medical services..It's virtually all functions that were to be devolved. Unfortunately, our medics seems to have a mentality of being a special class of civil services. They also Fear the close supervision that will come from working right under the nose of your employer.
They are not thinking about the service they give, No. It's about their selfish selves.

in retrospect, I tend to think the contrary - we should have jumped into the deep end immediately and let the county handle its medical, education, security, its own payroll for the governor and the reps, collect taxes as they deem fit and handle their own judiciary issues.

as for the medics, they should just leave the county system go back to their 'home countys' and focus on their private practises.

We need to suffer and feel the pain so much that we learn that mediocrity and sitting on the fence will never get us anywhere.

Even doctors, with all due respect, need to stop dying on the job!! What is this attachment to salaries? It is this mentality that has Kenya where it is 50 years down the line with a weak health-care system! If every doctor opened his own facility, then competition would bring health care prices down to everyones benefit.

Nobody should be richer than the other! We all have something to give.

Seriously, your solution is all doctors resign and open their own facilities?? SMH

Yes! I'm guessing you are the Kenyans that worship doctors? That whatever they say is gospel truth? Even doctors here in Wazua have made different diagnosis to the same conditions.

I hope you know that most people can be doctors. I know of people who got Cs that went on to become doctors.

Every cadre of worker should be under county government except security (police, military). Even the Governors need to justify their salaries from the county kitty.
