President William Ruto has claimed that the government has closed over 1,000 health facilities in the country in an ongoing crackdown.
In a statement after engaging with Kenyans living in the United Kingdom on Thursday, July 3, President Ruto said that these facilities were closed in a crackdown targeting institutions perpetrating fraud in the administration of the Social Health Authority (SHA).
Ruto further claimed that more institutions would be closed in similar crackdowns to ensure that the Kenyan health sector remains uncorrupted. "The criminal elements that are staining SHA will not succeed.
We have tracked and closed over 1,000 medical facilities engaging in fraud," part of the statement read.
