President William Ruto says more than 23.3 million Kenyans have signed up for the Social Health Authority scheme, calling it proof that the universal health plan is gaining trust among the public.
Speaking Tuesday at the State House in Nairobi, during a meeting with over 600 African Independent Pentecostal Church of Africa leaders, Ruto said the SHA is beginning to fulfil its mandate. "Kenyans have started to see that SHA is paying bills for people around them," said Ruto.
SHA records show that 93,251 people registered on Monday, June 9.
On the same day, 10,884 means-tested members paid premiums totalling Sh48.9 million, and 2,946 people signed up for the Lipa SHA Pole Pole instalment plan.
