The government is set to cater for the registration of 1.5 million Kenyans with the Social Health Authority from next week, President William Ruto has announced.

In a brief statement released by the Head of Special Projects and Creative Economy at the Executive Office of the President, Dennis Itumbi, the government had already identified the select group of Kenyans set to benefit from the government's directive. "We have identified 1.5 million Kenyans who cannot afford the SHA registration fee," he stated.  "The government will cover the cost for all of them and payment mechanisms will begin next week," Itumbi noted.
