Why First lady is a true patriot

Efforts by first lady Margaret Kenyatta to improve access to healthcare are commendable.

Her Beyond Zero Campaign has brought hope to thousands of mothers and children. The aim was to reduce maternal and child deaths which is one of the main millennium goals.

She is a true role model for ladies as she identified the problem, which without doubt as a mother, grabbed her attention. Mobile clinics now provide prompt services.

Most deaths in rural or marginalised areas are as a result of poor access to services and malfunctions in the system.

The First Lady made it a sound decision to first address the needs of marginalised groups without considering their class or ethnic backgrounds.

She has no doubt caught the attention of many. Her efforts have now given the mother and children a chance of life. This is an inspiration to any young or any Kenyan out there who should now emulate her. It’s a great challenge to all of us. We need to ask ourselves: Are we ready to take up the challenge to instill such virtues in our children? Margaret is a source of inspiration.
