The Ministry of Health now says it will withdraw trespass charges against Grace Njoki, the 61-year-old woman who stormed Afya house over SHIF failures.

Through Medical Services Principal Secretary Harry Kimtai, the ministry said it will withdraw all the charges against Njoki in a bid to save face from angry Kenyans.

Speaking today when he appeared before the Members of the National Assembly who are in a Mid-term retreat in Naivasha, Mr Kimtai said, "In the interest of the image of the Ministry of Health and the public, the Ministry will withdraw the complaint." Kimtai appeared before the MPs in the company of SHA CEO Richard Ingasira and Chairperson Abdi Mohamed, where they made presentations on the new health insurance system.

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula chaired the session.
