Didmus Barasa affirms that Sha does not work, asks Ruto to review the policy: “Kenyans are crying”

• The alleged inefficiencies in the Social Health Authority (SH) are too evident to be ignored, according to Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa
• Barasa observed that the citizens that the new health scheme was destined to serve is still suffering due to inappropriate funds
• The legislator asked President William Ruto to intervene and fix the scheme for, among other measures, strongly financing Sha

The deputy of Kimilili, Didmus Barasa, has pushed holes in the Social Health Authority (SHA) that observes that it is not serving the country even though the State supports widely.

BARASA, chosen in a Ida Ticket of the part, said that the new health scheme has not yet established the gaps experienced in the missing National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF).

The legislator, while appreciating the good intentions of President William Ruto with SHA, said that the more than 15 million Kenyans recorded under the scheme were struggling to access medical services due to financing problems.

He affirmed that the facilitated are rejecting patients due to debts that the state health scheme owe them.

“The president asked us to wet the Kenyans to register in SHA, but the challenge is that our people are denied services because Sha owes the hospitals millions and, therefore, cannot download services,” said the legislator.

He suggested that the president sanctions a great financing of the program since the few salaried Kenyans imposed by the handling cannot maintain 15 million Kenyans.

Barasa asked the president to direct the Treasury A, through the approval of the Parliament, to dispense Money to Sha to make the scheme fulfill its purpose properly.

He seemed to warn the President that inefficiencies in SHA are abolishing their efforts to deliver to the Kenyans and that they could have a re -election offer in 2027.

“Kenyans who are taxed to finance SHA are not many and, therefore, their money cannot sustain the medical needs of the millions of Kenyans. I want to ask the president, the Kenyans are crying, that this Sha is not working. The system cannot accommodate millions of Kenyans who have registered. I beg with with you, that you have the appropriate money before the sectors are the sectors of the other sectors. These Kenians do not continue to suffer.

Barasa added that the Kenyans were being aggrieved by the failures of establishments such as Sha to solve the systemic problems suffered over the years.

He said it is the responsibility of the government to chain and rationalize the policies that do not serve the interests of the public.

According to him, it would be useless to have a new health scheme that continues the challenges suffered under the previous one, in this case, the NHIF.

“Public policies come to solve public problems. Kenyans were optimistic that Sha would solve the problems under NHIF. If Sha and Taifa Care cannot solve the public problem that existed when we had NHIF, then Kenyanes have given the Government the responsibility of reviewing that policy, identifying where the gaps, strengthening it and making the policy progressive,” Barasa said.
