The Cabinet Secretary for Health, Aden Duale, has highlighted significant fraud within Kenya's Social Health Authority (SHA), revealing that digital audits have uncovered widespread abuse of the system.

• The SHA system has detected suspicious patient activity, including individuals visiting hospitals multiple times a day under different complaints, with one case showing a patient visiting five times in one day.
• Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale presented these findings to the Senate Health Oversight Committee.
• Extreme fraudulent dependency claims have been found, including one individual claiming 375 children as dependents, which are now under investigation by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

Members of Parliament on the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) are raising serious concerns about the sustainability of Kenya's Free Education Programme due to significant funding shortfalls and delayed disbursements.

• Basic Education Principal Secretary Julius Bitok confirmed capitation figures, but MPs dispute the actual amounts reaching schools.
• Parents continue to pay top-up fees, indicating the system is subsidized rather than fully free, despite official allocations.
