Former Health Cabinet Secretary (CS) Susan Nakhumicha has revealed that she regrets the doctors’ strike.
Speaking on Thursday, August 29 while handing over the Ministry to her successor Deborah Mulongo Barasa, Nakhumicha said the doctors’ strike was a low moment for her seeing patients unattended.
She described the strike as unintended consequences adding they could have handled the situation better.
“I really regret the time the doctors were on strike. It was quite a low moment for us as a ministry. Having to see that there are patients who need to be served and the doctors are not there to serve them. I must say that it was one of the things that was a low moment for me as I worked here,” said Nakhumicha.

At the same time, Nakhumicha said she leaves the health docket with her head high saying they did a good job in the time she headed the Ministry.
She highlighted the reforms in the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) as one of her achievements.
“When we came in, there was a dark cloud hanging around KEMSA, but I leave when we have managed to do some work. We put in place a new board and governance structure,” Nakhumicha stated.
Further, she advised CS Barasa to follow the constitution, the Health Act, and the ministry policies to steer the ministry forward.
Nakhumicha is among the 11 CSs who failed to make it to the newly reconstituted broad-based Cabinet.
