The Kenya Union of Clinical Officers has threatened to initiate the removal from office of senior officials at the Ministry of Health and the Social Health Authority for allegedly frustrating the full rollout of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
The union blamed the suffering Kenyans are enduring in the hands of the Social Health Authority on cartels allegedly deep-rooted in the Ministry of Health and SHA for personal financial gains, hence the need to take a decisive action against the top leaderships of the two entities.
KUCO National Chairman Patterson Wachira said that the union had already submitted a censure motion against SHA Chairman Dr.
Abdi Mohamed and Acting Chief Executive Officer Robert Ingasira for alleged incompetence after collecting 1,000 signatures from Kenyans and that it would soon do likewise to senior ministry officials, including the Cabinet Secretary. "I want to ask Members of Parliament, both at the National Assembly and the Senate, to help in the censure of the people heading SHA because they have denied Kenyans the right to health as stipulated under Article 43 of the Constitution of Kenya," he told journalists.
