Friday, January 31, 2025 - National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has criticized the Ministry of Health for the disrupted access to the Social Health Insurance (SHA) system at Kenyatta National Hospital's facilities.
For the last two weeks, SHA
system failures have affected millions of Kenyans across the country but the
Ministry of Health has remained mum on the issues.
"Systems will always have
errors, but how you communicate and resolve them is what matters. Kenyatta
National Hospital admitted there was a system failure—why wasn’t this addressed
publicly?" Ichung’wah asked.
Ichungwah, who is also the
Kikuyu Member of Parliament, also challenged SHA’s ability to function
independently, arguing that its communication strategy was
"shambolic" and overly reliant on the Ministry.
"When we created SHA, we
did not intend for the Ministry to run it. The authority must prove it can manage its own affairs," Ichung’wah asserted.
