It is unfortunate that a respected former Chief Justice who has dedicated his life in interpreting the law has resorted to sensationalism by falsely claiming that the Social Health Authority (SHA) pulled down its payment list. This is misleading and aimed at causing unnecessary panic. SHA continues to publish...

I have followed with deep concern recent reports of suspected organ trafficking involving Mediheal Hospital and other health facilities in Kenya. It should disturb the nation to watch the testimonials of Amon Kipruto Mely, his mother Leah Metto, Kennedy and other Kenyans who are victims of these heinous acts. If confirmed, these allegations are outrageous violations of Article 28 of the Constitution-the Right to Dignity and a potential threat to the Right to Life (Article 26). It is worth noting that various medical associations have raised alarm over allegations of organ trafficking since May 2023. The government has largely ignored those reports. Kenya Kwanza is only taking action now following international media uproar. This is yet another confirmation that this government only acts when its international reputation is at stake. I take note of the establishment of the Independent Investigative Committee on Tissue and Organ Transplant Services by the Health Cabinet Secretary. This Committee must not become yet again another PR stunt that does not address the broken healthcare system and rampant disregard for human life and dignity. I call on the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDU), as the body mandated to regulate medical practitioners and healthcare facilities, to carry out its duties with utmost professionalism and integrity to protect the lives of Kenyans. The health of our people is the wealth of our country. We must do all we can to protect citizens from exploitation. It is critical that we address the poverty that is driving so many young people to be exploited by criminal groups trafficking organs and kidneys. It is urgent to end the greed and impunity of high-ranking officials involved in this organized crime. It is time to reset this country. We must restore hope and humanity #ThePeopleShall

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. 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.
