Following Controller of Budget Margret Nyakango's recent revelation that the government spent Ksh104.8 billion on the Social Health Authority (SHA) system despite not owning it, President William Ruto has dismissed the claims.

Speaking on Tuesday during the burial ceremony of Malava MP Malulu Injendi, Ruto refuted the allegations, calling them falsehoods propagated by the media and social media users.

He firmly stated that the government had not spent a single cent on the system and assured that no such expenditure would be made in the future.

According to the Head of State, those opposed to the SHA system which has been facing backlash over the teething challenges it has been having are brokers who benefitted from the defunct National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF).
