Before the Covid-19 pandemic crisis few Kenyans had heard of Dr Rashid Aman, the Chief Administrative Secretary in the Ministry of Health. The official went about his duties for two years, largely avoiding the limelight, save for a few low-key events where he represented former Health Cabinet Secretary (CS) Sicily Kariuki.
Then came the pandemic and his status changed from a shadow figure at Afya House to the face of Kenya’s coronavirus fight alongside his colleagues Dr Mercy Mwangangi and Health CS Mutahi Kagwe.
