KSH 11 Billion! That number is no pocket change. That money could equip hospitals with lifesaving machines and medicine, and hire and pay thousands of healthcare workers for years. I believe in @_shakenya. I believe in Universal Healthcare. However, it is painful when citizens’ salaries are deducted to support social health programs, yet Kenyans still suffer due to mismanagement, system weaknesses, and corruption risks.
Whether paid out or intercepted, the fraudulent attempt itself exposes serious loopholes that must be urgently sealed. I am calling on the CS for Health, @HonAdenDuale, to release full SHA payment data. From ghost patients to fake hospitals, we must expose leakages, flag fraud, and ensure public funds are protected. Our healthcare system is in critical condition. It needs urgent CPR. That CPR is transparency and accountability.
I support the good the government is doing, but I will equally call out the failures. Accountability is not opposition, it is leadership. As leaders, we must work for Kenyans and protect the trust they have placed in us above all else. SHA must work. And it will only work if trust, transparency, and consequences go hand in hand.

In a groundbreaking event, Liaison Group and @RuphaKenya announced a strategic partnership to transform private healthcare and strengthen Kenya’s UHC agenda. RUPHA360 was officially launched at the Nairobi Serena Hotel. #ImpactforGood #RUPHA360Launch

Money owed to the defunct NHIF by various Ministries, Departments and Agencies as at 30th September 2024. It is instructive to note that the @MOH_Kenya owes the lion share at Kshs 7.8B followed by the Ministry of Public Service (Civil Servants Medical Scheme) at Kshs 3.47B. So @HonAdenDuale when is your Ministry settling its 7.8B? This is enough for 91% of all hospitals in Kenya
Thank you @KenyaAirways for this great tribute to a Legend.
Good Morning. @HonAdenDuale
Since you're our CS clarify.
Items number 26 and 27 of the Safaricom Consortium (APEIRO, Konvergenz) contract with the Ministry of Health are (a) Data Bundles of 30 Terabytes per month to support level 2-4 primary healthcare facilities.
And (b) broadband internet for level 4-6 hospitals. Data bundles Kshs 1.35Billion and broadband Kshs.2.199B.
Is your local health centre getting these data bundles for free from Safaricom?
I hope you notice we are spending ksh 43B on Softwares.
We definitely support sports, rugby sevens is a special experience.
BUT. There is a fund for sports. How does this fit into the 5% administrative costs cap that the @_shakenya has?
Secondly, the rugby demographic is youthful urban, educated, probably employed (fingers crossed) anyone who attends rugby sevens knows this.
Compare that with the soccer demographic or the bull fighting demographic or the Chamaz demographic. Those are the groups that desperately need the SHA gospel in our view.
It's looking like someone's vanity project at a time when the fund can't pay basic bills.
Dear CS @HonAdenDuale
RUPHA takes cognisance of the request that you have made today to @KeTreasury CS Treasury @JohnMbadiN to make available Kshs 5.3B to clear @_shakenya liabilities that it inherited from the NHIF.
We cautiously welcome this development as a step in the right direction towards the partial settlement of the historical liabilities of the Social Health Authority.
We thank you for acknowledging that unpaid medical claims have constrained the provision of healthcare services in Kenya and are a threat to the national dream of Universal Healthcare.
We urge CS @JohnMbadiN to act expeditiously on your request as it's in line with the National Treasury's internal policy on retiring pending bills whose value is below Kshs 10M.
As for claims that H.E the President @WilliamsRuto instructed verification for, RUPHA offers no objection to this. We only ask for the process to begin NOW.
Hospitals request that you move with characteristic speed to establish team and initiate the verification mechanism in line with the guidance provided to you via the High Court in "Gikenyi B & 3 others v Committee & 23 others (Petition E011 of 2025) [2025] KEHC 5823 (KLR) (12 May 2025) (Ruling)."
One year of SHA. Tomorrow morning on @citizentvkenya with our Chairman @BrianLishenga
Our Chairman @BrianLishenga shares thoughts on the new indigent and vulnerable Kenyan scheme launched by H.E @WilliamsRuto today.
Let us breakdown the problems with @_shakenya failed fraud detection (SHA ERP), failed beneficiary management platform, non-existent Quality Management System and what the recently launched "Kenya Pharmaceutical Information System - Track & Trace."
1. SHA eClaims System - rejects valid claims but can pay ghost hospitals - Kshs 5B. Apparently SHA is currently procuring one after APEIRO failed to deliver a ghost-proof one.
2. Track and Trace (Kshs 2.5B) launched yesterday by @HonAdenDuale - this will also include Drug Utilization Review (Kshs 2.46B).
3. Quality Management System - Kshs 1.58B (enough to sort out KNH - NHIF arrears. Non-existent.
4. Training, Support and Customer Education (Kshs 7B) - all provider training has been via Zoom and Microsoft Teams. There is no evidence of training for public hospitals.
So while the CS Health @HonAdenDuale daily calls Kenyan hospitals cartels and Kenyan doctors fraudsters, who is protecting Kenyans from the actual ones? @citizentvkenya
The Train is leaving the Station. In 48hrs. @HonAdenDuale @_shakenya @citizentvkenya @DHA_Kenya @MOH_Kenya @NationAfrica @DrMercyHealth. PR and propaganda will not cover the failure of this so-called "reform".
Good morning @_shakenya @DHA_Kenya @MOH_Kenya @HonAdenDuale
We kindly request you to work round the clock and meet with healthcare providers to solve the challenges in the healthcare sector.
We remain open for talks in good faith.
