Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has strongly criticized the Standard Media Group over its headline 'SHA rip off', calling it propaganda aimed at sabotaging the Social Health Authority (SHA). Duale claims the media house is part of a wider scheme to undermine government health reforms, vowing to continue fixing the healthcare system despite negative commentary.

• The Standard Media Group article alleged that little-known hospitals associated with senior government officials received disproportionately large sums from the new health insurance scheme.
• CS Duale's response came after he revealed widespread fraud within the health sector, with Ksh5.1 billion in claims under re-evaluation and Ksh10 billion in claims already rejected due to fraudulent practices.
• Duale pledged commitment to spearhead reforms in the SHA, promising access to quality, affordable, and dignified healthcare for all Kenyans.
