Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has refuted claims of an Ksh11 billion loss at the Social Health Authority (SHA), stating the figure represents rejected and fraudulent claims.

• The amount, now Ksh12.7 billion, consists of claims flagged, rejected, or left unpaid due to the SHA's digital verification system, preventing potential fraud.
• Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale emphasized that under the old NHIF system, such claims might have been paid.
• SHA has registered 29.7 million Kenyans, collected Ksh142.78 billion, and disbursed Ksh105 billion to providers, achieving a 73% claims settlement rate.
