Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale did not hold back as he took aim at the Ministry of Health leadership over allegations of organ trafficking at Mediheal Hospital.
In a video posted on social media, Duale questioned the lack of action during the shocking incidents of organ trafficking in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County. "Where was the leadership when somebody was doing organ trafficking in Eldoret?" he asked.
Duale's remarks were blunt, condemning the alleged practice as both immoral and deeply troubling. "It's very sad and very poor," he said. He called for urgent reforms, noting that the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) had been aware of the situation. The minister also announced plans to establish a committee of experts to investigate the matter and promised that those responsible would face consequences.
His statement comes as the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) ramps up its probe into human organ trafficking at Mediheal's Fertility and Transplant Centre.
