Mr. President, Please Seek the Truth on the Ground About SHA

H.E. the President, Kenyans need to tell you the truth about what is happening on the ground with the Social Health Authority (SHA).

SHA was launched with good intentions, and many Kenyans welcomed the transition from NHIF to a system intended to provide accessible healthcare to all. However, there are growing concerns that implementation challenges, administrative failures and possible malpractice in some facilities may be undermining the programme and creating the impression that SHA is not working.

There are reports and concerns from patients that when a patient is referred from a Level 4 facility to a Level 5 or Level 6 hospital because of the seriousness of their condition, they may be asked to pay cash before admission, despite being under SHA. This is especially concerning because ordinary Kenyans were led to believe that they would be able to access covered healthcare without being required to make such payments.

Another major problem occurs when the SHA system is unavailable or experiencing technical or administrative difficulties. Patients can find themselves unable to receive treatment unless they pay cash. A system failure should not become a reason for a sick person to be denied urgent medical care.

There are also concerns that some hospitals may submit claims to SHA while simultaneously asking patients to make additional payments for services they believe should be covered. These allegations need to be independently investigated rather than dismissed.

There are further concerns that individuals who previously benefited from fraudulent or questionable NHIF claims may have interests within the new system, and that some people within SHA or hospital management could be contributing to its problems. These are serious allegations and should not be treated as facts without evidence. However, they are important enough to warrant an independent investigation.

Mr. President, please do not rely only on reports from officials within the system. Commission an independent, transparent assessment of SHA implementation across the country, particularly in public hospitals and among ordinary citizens who depend on public healthcare.

The investigation should establish:

1.Whether hospitals are demanding cash payments for services covered by SHA.

2.Whether hospitals are submitting SHA claims while also charging patients for the same services.

https://t.co/X9NnffcqGu often system failures prevent patients from accessing treatment.

4.Whether public hospitals are receiving SHA reimbursements on time and whether those payments are reaching the intended services.

5.Whether there is fraud, abuse or conflict of interest within the SHA claims and payment system.

6.Why patients referred to higher-level hospitals are sometimes facing difficulties accessing care.

7.Whether the experience of ordinary Kenyans differs significantly from that of civil servants or other groups with easier access to healthcare services.

The President should hear directly from patients, doctors, nurses, hospital administrators and independent healthcare experts not only from officials responsible for implementing SHA.

If SHA is being sabotaged or poorly implemented, those responsible should be identified and held accountable. If the problems are caused by weaknesses in the system, those weaknesses should be corrected.

Kenyans do not want SHA to fail. They want it to work.

Mr. President, please obtain an independent report on what is actually happening in hospitals across the country and correct the mistakes before public confidence in SHA is lost. The success of universal healthcare should not be determined by reports on paper; it should be measured by whether an ordinary Kenyan can walk into a hospital when sick and receive the care they need without being forced to pay cash because of failures within the system.

THE STANDARD MUST STOP CONVICTING PEOPLE THROUGH HEADLINES

The article titled “Inside Homa Bay Political Gang and Its Reign of Terror on the Opposition” is one of the disturbing examples of journalism currently practiced at the Standard Media that appears to have reached a verdict before conducting a balanced investigation.

Journalism must investigate violence but not manufacture a convenient political narrative to settle scores.

The article labels people “goons,” links them to ODM leaders and President William Ruto’s re-election campaign, and makes grave allegations involving senior politicians and government officials. Yet it gives no meaningful right of reply to most of those they have accused. It relies heavily on unnamed sources, unidentified “insiders,” and politically interested parties while presenting their claims as an almost settled account.

Where is the response from those named? Where is the evidence establishing who financed whom? Where are the police records, charge sheets, independently authenticated videos, and verified financial transactions?

More importantly, where are the goons aligned with the other side?

The same article reports deaths, more than 50 injuries, burnt vehicles, attacked businesses, and blocked roads. Were all these acts committed by only one group? Was the Linda Mwananchi convoy accompanied exclusively by peaceful supporters of the same? Who initiated each confrontation? Were any opposition-aligned individuals armed, mobilised, transported, or paid? The article neither asks nor answers these questions.

You cannot investigate political violence with one eye closed.

When reporters describe one camp as “goons” and the other exclusively as “victims,” without subjecting both sides to equal scrutiny, that is not balanced journalism. It is political framing masquerading as investigation.

Freedom of the media is constitutionally protected because journalism serves the public, not because newspapers are entitled to become judge, jury, and political executioner.

Kenya needs courageous journalism. But courage is not sensationalism. Professional journalism demands accuracy, fairness, verification, context, and a genuine right of reply.

Investigate every goon. Name every financier when the evidence supports it. Expose violence on every political side. But do not use a newspaper headline to convict selected individuals while granting political sainthood to their opponents.

That is not accountability. It is bias.

Yesterday's vote in Ol Kalou doesn't sugarcoat for President William Ruto the plain and transparent truth on the torturous road to 2027. It gives him a binary choice. Continue listening to the effusive and praiseful lullabies by Kiambu politicians whose support is in single digit and not beyond immediate family members, stick with Prof Kithure Kindiki and believe their false narrative that he will get 40% of the Mt. Kenya vote and know that a humiliating defeat is certain. Or act the political fox you always have been, pick a Luo or a Luhya runningmate(preferably the latter) and hit the read running. The choices are clear. And President Ruto must smell the coffee...by force.

Leo wacha nisimame kidete na Boychild

Gist ndio hii. That violent bitch, Joyce Wambui,

Her first husband was Chiggy, Denis Oliech's brother who is also an event organizer and Manager at Mama Oliech restaurant

They met thru Dunda but you'd expect a woman to ease on the funky life after a kid. Wambo would leave her months old baby to go party

Chiggy walked out and b'coz the kid was months old, he couldn't take him. Baby boy died before his 1st birthday b'coz Wambo over dozed him on sleeping pills akienda kulewa

The man he was cheating with during her marriage to Chiggy, was an Amref First Responder called Antony Kihara frame 3(By the way I hear he sues people, so I'm daring him to try me)

After Bro wa Oliech walked out and kid died, Wench akaenda plastic surgery za Kilimani kuongeza ass

Then she met the Morio she has turned Spartacus on. Incipiently, she hid her claws like a domesticated wild Cat. They got a son together. Bro saw she was idling, decided to empower her and paid for Verah Beauty college

A feline will always sniff blood, after classes, she started hanging out with the Amref medic, again! Got pregnant

Hubby texted the guy - "Bro, I know you are sleeping with my wife and she's pregnant. A DNA would suffice"

Kihara went to a lawyer to sue ati anaharibiwa jina, then Madam kuona itakuwa ngori, suddenly had a miscarriage. Obviously the baby was for Amref guy

By the way ni wale Air evacuation, trained to play with psychology

"Hey, what's your name... Aoko? Good. Look at me, stay with me, you're doing great. Can you take a deep breath for me please? Awesome! You'll be fine"

Bas hao! Exactly how you see it kwa Grey Anatomy or Station 19. Boy has manipulated this low IQ fat bitch into ruining two marriages

Yake ali ruin kitambo, but he sends child support and attends kids school functions ndio asiharibiwe kazi

So after that abortion cum miscarriage, Wambo akatulia kidogo, got pregnant. This time for the hubby. The moment alizaa, akajua amepea bro two sons, she threw caution to the wind

Analewa from Friday to Monday asubuhi. Anarudi akinuka sperm imeganda ka busaa. Si that's how nigga ended up with two nannies for his two boys. Akajaribu dialogue, family, wapi!

He went for DNA, Medanta labs, established sons were his, sued for custody, aka win

Wambo akachoma fuse. Went full blown into those demons za Witcher. Ati ooh, unani nyang'anya watoto. She's stabbed the guy, done vituko, he even got restraining order, to no avail

I believe akipigwa ngumi ya maskio vizuri hadi anuse ubongo iki leak damu, ata wacha wazimu. Very stupid woman
