President William Ruto announced that the government will pay Social Health Authority (SHA) contributions for 1.5 million Kenyans who cannot afford it, starting next week. He also urged Governors and Members of Parliament to contribute for an additional 1 million Kenyans.

• The SHA contribution is 2.75 percent of income, funding support for those unable to pay.
• Unlike NHIF, SHA aims to provide healthcare for all Kenyans, not just those with jobs or means.
• The government has allocated Ksh.21 billion for outpatient services, cautioning facilities against charging patients.
• Significant development funds were announced for Turkana County, including Ksh.5.3 billion for roads and Ksh.1.6 billion to support fishing.
• The military will upgrade and equip Lodwar County Referral Hospital and build a modern stadium.
