Kenya health workers have called for the removal of the Social Health Authority (SHA) Chairperson and CEO.
Speaking in Meru during the celebrations of International white coat Day for Health workers, the national chair of the Kenya Health Workers Caucus, Peterson Wachira identified the two individuals as the main problems in SHA insurance.
He therefore called for the National Assembly to impeach the chair Dr. Abdi Mohamed and CEO Mr. Robert Ingasira.
Wachira added that the two SHA bosses have individually and collectively breached four clauses of the constitution including Article 43 which declares all Kenyans should have access to health services, Article 26 which delves into discrimination of clinical officers ad equally citizens who cannot access the health services at the hospital.
The other clauses mentioned were Article 47 on fair administrative procedures and Chapter 6 on Ethics and Integrity.
The health workers lamented that the two bosses ignored the Deputy President’s directive that all clinical officers be empaneled to carry procedures through SHA.
They added that the directive is yet to be carried out a week later.
