Garissa Governor Nathif Jama has come under heavy criticism after a video of him dismissing the current healthcare system under the Social Health Authority (SHA) went viral.
The Governor was caught on an undated video clip in Garissa Town when he found an ailing woman whom he gave Sh1,000 to pay for treatment. In the footage, the governor appears to be telling the woman not to rely on the medical cover provided by SHA since it was unreliable.
“Enda kwa Doctor Amal utibiwe hakuna mambo ya SHA hapa (go to doctor Amal for treatment, SHA is not working here),” the Governor said before dishing out one thousand notes to her.
