The Social Health Authority's (SHA) request for an additional Sh77 billion in the next financial year met stiff resistance from the National Assembly Health Committee members.

Some committee members said SHA had not explained its 2024/2025 budget, claiming the authority's expenditures were shrouded in opaqueness due to lack of transparency.
