President William Ruto has accused cartels and individuals with vested interests of attempting to sabotage the rollout of the Social Health Authority (SHA) coverage. Despite these alleged efforts, the President insists the program is on track.

• President William Ruto stated that transformative legislation has been enacted to ensure universal health coverage (UHC) is institutionalized and not dependent on political cycles.
• The Social Health Authority is central to implementing a unified financing model designed to expand risk pooling and reduce out-of-pocket expenses for healthcare.
• Ruto emphasized that healthcare is viewed as an investment rather than a cost, as the government works towards equitable access for all citizens.
