The optics are terrible. That part is obvious.
But the selective outrage is what surprises me.
The problem we have as a country is bigger than one minister posting the wrong picture at the wrong time.
Since independence, our political class has spent years asking citizens to trust public systems they quietly avoid for themselves.
They go abroad for routine medical checks.
They go abroad for delivery.
They send their kids abroad for elementary or high school.
Then they return and speak the language of confidence in the system and reform.
So yes, he should not have posted it.
But the real scandal is the long-standing hypocrisy.
And to be fair, when it comes to giving birth abroad, the motivation is often beyond trust in the healthcare system.
However, it does not necessarily remove the optics problem, but it does add important context to the discussion.
So if we are angry about this, I expect all of us to be equally outraged by our political elite who demonstrate a lack of confidence in the institutions they oversee.
Meanwhile, congratulations to my lovely wife for blessing our family with a bouncing baby boy. We are deeply grateful to God for this precious gift and the joy he has brought into our lives.
