Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika has revealed that the Social Health Authority (SHA) owes Naivasha Level 4 Hospital Sh102 million. This admission follows recent public demonstrations against poor services at the hospital.

A few days ago, teachers under the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers held demos in Kakamega to protest against what they said was dysfunction in SHA. KUPPET Vihiga has since issued its own threat, and nationally, the union has flagged shortcomings in the scheme that are leaving teachers worse off than they were under the previous medical cover.
