On Sunday, Mr Gachagua discussed health care. He shared his thoughts from his home about why he doesn't like the new health plan called SHIF. He thinks this plan lacks clear rules and proper planning.

People feel worried because the new health plan isn't working well. The government changed from the old plan called NHIF to the new one last October. Mr Gachagua believes they made this change very quickly without asking everyone what they thought about it.

Mr Gachagua liked parts of the new plan. He likes that it helps people with all kinds of sickness, even the ones that last a long time. But he wishes they had taken more time to make sure everything worked before starting it.

Ms Barasa, who leads the health team, promises everything will work better soon. She calls the plan "Taifa Care" and says it helps many people already. She told everyone that more than 500,000 people used the new health plan since it started.

Ms Barasa explained they fixed problems when doctors and hospitals needed money. She said some computer problems happened, but this happens in other countries. She feels happy because more people have health care than before. The old plan helped fewer people, but the new one helped 18 million Kenyans.
