Ruto Says Fraud Graft Will Never Happen Under SHA
Ruto vowed to end the corruption menace that had eaten into the now-defunct National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF).
He was speaking during the official opening of the Kilifi County International Investment Conference on Thursday.
“There is a lot of fake news and a lot of incorrect information that is out there I want to assure the country that the challenges of fraud and corruption that had bedeviled the NHIF will never be under SHA, as long as I’m in charge. It will never happen in our Universal Health Coverage plan,” Ruto said.
President Ruto vowed to uphold transparency and accountability, challenging any doubts about his administration’s commitment.
“I will look the people of Kenya in the eye and tell them there will be no corruption under SHA as long as I am president,” Ruto affirmed.
Ruto reiterated his administration’s commitment to ensuring that Kenyans receive full value for their contributions to the healthcare system.
He highlighted the importance of delivering quality services without mismanagement.
“We must make sure that Kenyans get the benefit and value for every cent they spend on everything including matters of health,” Ruto said.
Ruto further defended the procurement of the medical equipment leasing program, saying the process was carried out between the counties and the Ministry of Health.
He said there is no obligation on any county to get any supplier.
“There is no one supplier, I think there are seven or so suppliers and there is no obligation on any county, anybody who says they were forced by the national government to sign the contract those are conman and liars,” Ruto said.
This comes after the Ministry of Health and the Council of Governors on Wednesday came out to address media reports regarding the alleged leasing of medical equipment to the counties.
In a joint statement issued on December 4, they clarified that there is no secrecy in the equipment supply deal, providing details on a new approach to managing it.
