President William Ruto personally paid a Ksh2 million hospital bill for the wife of musician Kamande Wa Kioi, but this act of goodwill sparked a public outcry regarding Kenya's health scheme.

• President Ruto covered the remaining Ksh2 million after the family and the Social Health Authority (SHA) had already paid over Ksh1.5 million.
• Murang’a Woman Representative Betty Maina revealed the President's intervention, leading to immediate public criticism.
• The public lambasted the ineffectiveness of the SHA, which only covered 42 percent of the bill, and questioned the accessibility of such personalized aid from the Head of State.
