@Kriti, This sounds like a noble idea but I feel you can source this amount of money even from the govt if you present a proper biz plan, than having us register to vote.

I read in jana's paper that Hon. Uhuru said "Beautiful women are the face of a healthy society", totally floored me. @Bajaj, if u can, find a way to let Ps. Ndemo know about your project. I hear he is very supportive of such initiatives. On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 9:34 AM, Murigi Muraya <mmskunkworks@gmail.com>wrote:

Jokes aside this issue is really relevant, my buddy was admitted on Monday evening at one of the leading hospitals in Nairobi and discharged today, the bill was a whooping 84000 Kenya shillings, i have been trying to go through the bill and to say the least it is a fraud they kept delaying the results so that the bill (bed and breakfast could rise), *how does the common man* *survive? *An expatriate friend told me recently that health care is too expensive in Kenya and i thought he was joking but i came face to face with the scenario, there is also an increasing case of mis diagnosis in leading hospitals in our country, i beleive this project will be a timely initiative On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 7:05 PM, Murigi Muraya <mmskunkworks@gmail.com>wrote:
