From Deputy President William Ruto to Machakos Governor Dr Alfred Mutua, politicians rushed to tweet flowery condolences on learning of Dr Stephen Mogusu’s death from Covid-19 on Monday. However, no national or county leader has taken responsibility for his demise while in the frontline in the fight against the ravaging Covid-19. On his death bed, Dr Mogusu, who was deployed to Machakos County through National Government’s Universal Health Coverage programme, left a letter that has shocked many. The father of one, at the time of his death, had reportedly not earned a penny for five months. On Sunday, acting KMPDU Secretary General Dr Chibanzi Mwachonda appealed to Kenyans to contribute towards his ballooning health bill before his demise.
