Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has strongly denied allegations that Ksh.1.2 billion from the Social Health Authority (SHA) was improperly channeled to a private proxy company, terming the claims as misleading and unfounded.
Speaking amid growing public scrutiny, Duale maintained that all funds under the Social Health Authority are managed transparently and in line with government financial regulations. He emphasized that no money had been diverted to any unauthorized entity.
The claims had sparked concern among citizens, with many questioning the management of public health funds. However, the Cabinet Secretary reassured Kenyans that the ministry remains committed to accountability and proper use of resources.
Duale urged the public and stakeholders to rely on verified information, warning against the spread of unverified reports that could erode trust in public institutions. He reiterated that the government is open to audits and oversight to ensure credibility.
The denial highlights the ongoing debate around transparency in public finance. As the issue continues to draw attention, many will be watching closely for further clarification and accountability measures from the relevant authorities.
