Kenyans need to ignore politicians who try to block Taifa Care and keep signing up for the program. Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru pointed out that these critics already have complete health insurance for themselves. She mentioned that these same politicians tell regular people not to register despite having coverage. Waiguru made these comments when she helped hand out digital devices alongside outgoing Medical Services PS Harry Kimtai and Presidential Economic Advisor Moses Kuria.
The Governor challenged doubters to visit Kirinyaga County as proof the program works well. She explained that Taifa Care makes healthcare better and more affordable for everyone across Kenya. The new system lets her track patient numbers at every hospital from her computer. This digital tracking helps her match medical supplies with actual needs at each location.
Waiguru explained how the digital health systems boosted money coming into county health centers. Her team used to collect between 130 and 140 million shillings but aimed for 200 million this year. They beat that goal before March even ended and expect to reach 300 million by June. The Social Health Authority already paid them 75 million against the 103 million owed, which solved their past payment problems.
Presidential Advisor Moses Kuria said they plan to promote Taifa Care throughout Kenya despite critics. He stressed they focus on making the program succeed rather than responding to negative talk. Kuria warned they might directly confront misleading politicians later. He showed how public health facilities in Kirinyaga receive 75 percent of SHA funds because they fully adopted the program, and he urged private hospitals to join them.
