teachers are being killed, civil servants are fleeing, Muslim terrorists Al-Shabaab are attacking.
“The northern Kenya region has historically been marginalized by successive governments, leaving access to basic social services such as education and healthcare limited. While demand for teachers stands at 20,000, there are only about 12,000 in the region, according to KNUT.
UNICEF says about 80 percent of girls in North Eastern Province are not enrolled in school.
The doctor-to-patient ratio is 1.0 to 100,000 in the larger northern Kenya region, according to Fredrick Oluga, a member of the advisory council at the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPPDU). Nationally, according to government figures, the ratio is 1.0 to 20,000. The global recommendation is one doctor for every 1,000 patients.
Indicative of the level of need in northern Kenya is the dependence on civil servants from other parts of the country. KMPPDU’s Oluga added that there are just 41 doctors in northern Kenya, forcing them to be on call 24 hours.”

Such a provocative way you make this statement about the country where our President has family. The same stuff is going on in Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Mali and other African countries, but you chose to make some statement about the country where our President has family. I'm guessing that the country where you have family murdered 12 million people. Or is it that other country where they have socialized medicine,, and love it.
Way to dodge.
How'd you pick up an Obama huckster?
