Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has dismissed calls for his resignation over alleged fraud at the Social Health Authority (SHA), accusing some lawmakers of blackmail and conflict of interest.
Speaking after a group of MPs under the Kenya Moja coalition demanded he step down within 48 hours, Duale claimed that some legislators own health facilities flagged in the controversial SHA payment claims saga.
The MPs, led by Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, accused Duale, SHA officials, and powerful figures in State House of presiding over payments to ghost hospitals.
They vowed to table a censure motion if the CS fails to quit.
