As the Christmas and New Year celebrations come to a close, new Health Cabinet Secretary Cleopa Mailu takes over a docket dogged by perennial strikes, machine breakdowns and medical personnel accused of laxity.
Dr Mailu, a former CEO of the Nairobi Hospital, and his Principal Secretary Nicholas Muraguri, who previously served as Director of Medical Services, are expected to streamline the health docket that has been troublesome for the government since the advent of devolution.
