Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has refuted claims made by DCP leader Rigathi Gachagua regarding a KSh90 billion debt owed to faith-based health facilities by SHA. The Inua Jamii programme has disbursed Ksh2,000 to over 430,000 vulnerable households across Kenya to support orphans and children in need, following the government's release of Ksh860 million.
