Betrayed By The System

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Betrayed by the System is a fearless exposé and emotional reckoning with a country's slow-burning betrayal of its most essential workers-and the lives lost because of it. With searing honesty and investigative clarity, Tobias Otieno Ogola paints an unflinching portrait of Kenya's broken health sector, where systemic neglect, political greed, and institutional failure have turned hospitals into death traps, caregivers into beggars, and patients into statistics. Drawing from official audit reports, frontline testimonies, whistleblower revelations, investigative journalism, and harrowing real-life case studies, this book takes readers through ten damning chapters. Each chapter unearths the rot that festers behind the corridors of power: from "ghost clinics" and counterfeit medicine rings to misappropriated international aid and the silencing of striking medics. The crisis is not just about bad governance-it is about a deliberate abandonment of duty, where the government watches its health workers crumble under stress, remains silent as interns go unpaid, and lets citizens die waiting for treatment. Ogola does more than report-he indicts. He demands answers for the intern paid 47,000.00 KES after years of training. He tells the story of patients turned away from public hospitals that lack drugs, electricity, or staff. He exposes how political elites feast in comfort while hospitals decay and ambulances stall from lack of fuel. He uncovers how the Kenyan government has enough funds-but not the will-to hire, pay, or protect healthcare professionals. This is a book for every Kenyan who has watched a loved one die waiting for care. For every health worker who sacrificed, only to be discarded. For every citizen who has asked: "Where is our dignity? Where is our justice?" Betrayed by the System is both a call to action and a memorial to those failed by the very people meant to protect them. It will shake your conscience, stir your anger, and ignite your resolve
