A considerable proportion of these interminable conflicts trace their roots in ante-colonial or soviet policies more so those concerning territorial borderlines, oppression of native people, and the privilege given to some people over others. We have noted that the source of the challenges besetting indigenous people in the colonial mindset that has gain clutched people’s minds.

Again, grants have numerous advantages. For instance, one does not have to pay back a government grant. Besides, there is no limit to the number of grants one can take.

In June 2018, a federal district court invalidated the initial approval of Kentucky’s waiver by the CMS because the Secretary failed to consider the impact of the waiver on the primary objective of Medicaid of providing affordable health coverage (Musumeci, 2018). Second, evidence shows that the work engagement program does not meet their objectives of promoting better mental, physical, and emotional health in line with Medicaid program objective but rather adversely affect health (CMS, 2018).
