This is what
Bahati said…….
#DEAR_PRESIDENT_UHURU_KENYATTA
My name is Kevin Bahati a Gospel musician and Kenyan Citizen.
I could have send this as a private letter but it might take long before it
gets to you so the URGENCY of this
matter forced me to put it in public maybe a fellow citizens might read it to
you. One of the promises I made after my song ITAKUA SAWA was “no more” sad
songs and melodies but how when I still see nothing to smile about??? Mr.
President do you see the picture above ? it was taken barely two days ago at
Kenyatta national hospital cancer word
but as you are reading this (ABIGAEL WANJIKU KAMAU) is no more. Days
just after we’ve buried another 8 year old baby Charity. I visited the same
kids ward 5 months ago found more than 80 admitted kids and now on my second
visit I find less than 30 new faces … not because they are healed but we’ve
lost over 90% of this kids to the grave. Mr president is cancer not treatable???
I understand we can’t save the lives of all these patients but isn’t there a way we can pro-long their
lives by giving a standard medical care??.... The Rich will go to private
hospitals or seek treatment abroad what
about us the big percentage of kenyas
that still can’t afford a Dollar a day??? KNH is the only hope for us but our
dedicated doctors and nurses lack treatment resources. mr president our parents
are tired of helplessly waiting to bury their kids . Our biggest National
Hospital has less than 3 cancer treatment machines which serve over 2000
patients. Meaning a patient can spend almost two years waiting for their turn
to go through the chemotherapy machine ! About 60 people die every month ;
these are 15 people weekly; meaning we burry like two everyday. Mr president
from our hearts we love you and I believe you love us too. Am not educated to
advice you on how to do this but as the
most powerfull man in our country, please
do something because we are losing too many.
From the voice of the voiceless. Bahati
Tena!!!
