Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has raised alarm over an emerging scam targeting Kenyans seeking to register for the new Social Health Authority (SHA).
While appearing before the National Assembly for grilling on Wednesday, April 16, Duale called out unscrupulous individuals who have been misleading unsuspecting Kenyans by exploiting gaps in public awareness in the new government healthcare system.
According to CS Duale, some Kenyans have been subjected to a small fee to register for SHA, whilst registration is supposed to be free. "Public awareness on SHA remains low, and some individuals are exploiting this gap by misleading Kenyans and charging them for registration, which is completely free," Duale observed.
