A group of Kenyan legislators, operating under the ‘Kenya Moja’ political group and led by Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, has given Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale 48 hours to resign. This ultimatum stems from alleged fraud amounting to billions of shillings at the Social Health Authority (SHA).

• If CS Duale fails to resign, the legislators, including Bomachoge Borabu MP Obadia Barongo and Kitutu Chache South MP Tonny Kibagendi, plan to trigger an impeachment motion.
• The group also demanded the immediate resignation of SHA chair Abdi Mohammed and SHA CEO Mercy Mwangangi, accusing Duale and figures from State House of orchestrating the fraud.
• Ironically, Duale had previously exposed massive fraud at SHA on Monday, August 26, including phantom billing and rejected claims worth Ksh10.6 billion, leading to accusations of a cover-up after the SHA public payment portal was pulled down.
