A heated exchange occurred between Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale and Kenya Medical Association President Simon Kigondu over the Social Health Authority (SHA). Kigondu criticized the SHA's Practice 360 App and alleged the authority accumulated significant debt, while Duale defended the app as a fraud prevention tool and accused Kigondu of defending fraudulent facilities.

• SHA accumulated more debt in 10 months than NHIF did in six years, according to Kigondu.
• Duale claims the Practice 360 App successfully curbed fraud, including fraudulent health workers selling OTP codes.
• Duale alleged that Kigondu owns some of the health facilities suspended in recent crackdowns for irregularities.
• 158 health facilities were closed on August 29 by the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) due to non-compliance.
