You Take Covid Jab First, Governors Tell Uhuru; DP Ruto’s Troubles Deepen After Disclosure by New Jubilee Deputy SG & God Led Me to Kemsa, Nurse in Sh42 Million Deal Tells MPs

Good morning,

Nearly a year after the coronavirus set its deadly presence in our country, the government has finally succeeded in bringing in a batch of vaccines against the infection.

There is, however, not much celebration going around on this piece of news.

Isn’t it sad that citizens of a nation cannot rejoice over such a breakthrough, because they already know the corruption and collusion levels in their country cannot allow them to even get proper medical care?

According to The Nation,  politicians have already acted on our fears, jumping the vaccination line for the jab ahead of teachers and health workers.

According to the publication, Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries, and politicians will receive the vaccine before the essential workers get the remains over the weekend.

It is not that we wish ill upon these leaders, but we really need to set our national priorities right, especially when only slightly over one million vaccines are available to us.

It makes no sense to put people who are at the lowest risk of contracting COVID before high-risk professionals, who do not even have proper protective gear to shield them against the virus to begin with.

Meanwhile, here are the stories making headlines on Opera News today:
