Kericho County Commissioner Mr Gilbert Kitiyo on Tuesday called on residents to enrol in large numbers with the Social Health Authority (SHA) for the government to serve them better under the new enhanced medical scheme.
Speaking at Kipsitet trading centre during the official inauguration of the newly created Soin Sub County, which was curved out of the larger Soin-Sigowet Sub-County, Mr Kitiyo said that misinformation and negative publicity by non-patriotic individuals had hampered the good intentions of government efforts to roll out and register as many Kenyans as possible under SHA.
Mr Kitiyo said that the new health scheme was operational, functional, and running contrary to the propaganda being peddled out to Kenyans that the new scheme was not offering the intended services and not operational. "The new SHA scheme has its own system challenges but the bottle necks were being effectively addressed by the concerned health system ICT managers and we call upon residents who have been affected to be patient until the SHA system normalises," Mr Kitiyo remarked.
Kitiyo told residents of the newly created Soin Sub County whose headquarters will be at Kipsitet trading centre to embrace the new Sub County by building it with their own resources.
