President Ruto defends health reforms, says SHA is better than Linda Mama

Former president Uhuru Kenyatta continues to face sharp criticism from Kenya Kwanza leaders, with President William Ruto now leading the charge. Ruto told his predecessor that the social health authority programme is far superior to Uhuru’s Linda Mama. While acknowledging that health reforms started under Uhuru’s tenure, Ruto insisted the difference between the two programmes is clear and visible. Speaking in Kajiado County, the president stressed that his government had not scrapped Linda Mama, but rather enhanced it.
