Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has responded to Senator Boni Khalwale's public questioning of his academic credentials and leadership abilities. Duale dismissed these comments as personal attacks, urging focus on policy over personalities amidst widespread scrutiny of the Social Health Authority (SHA).

• Khalwale suggested Duale's lack of expertise might contribute to flaws in the SHA initiative.
• Duale affirmed his qualifications, stating his academic papers were submitted to Parliament's vetting committee twice.
• The SHA has faced scrutiny over fraud, leading to the closure of 728 non-compliant facilities and the downgrading of 301 others.
