Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has clarified that the Social Health Authority (SHA) does not possess a Ksh104 billion digital system. He made the clarification in a statement issued on August 11, 2026, following a press conference by the Digital Health Agency (DHA). DHA Chief Executive Officer Eng. Anthony Lenayara explained that the Ksh104 billion figure refers to the overall investment required for Kenya's Digital Health Superhighway rather than a standalone system owned by SHA.
Lenayara emphasized that the Digital Health Superhighway is an interconnected digital health infrastructure linking multiple government health systems and platforms, aimed at improving interoperability, efficiency, and accountability in healthcare services. Duale stated that the DHA CEO had dismissed claims that SHA has this Ksh104 billion digital system, clarifying that the figure is more accurately described as an investment requirement for implementing and maintaining Kenya's digital health infrastructure.
