Garissa Governor Nathif Jama.
A viral video of Garissa Governor Nathif Jama handing a sick woman Sh1,000 has reignited a public row over the Social Health Authority (SHA)'s reach in the county.
The footage, in which Jama dismisses the SHA framework as unreliable, saying the system could not serve the woman at county hospitals, drew in a cabinet secretary and put two Garissa leaders on opposing sides of the debate.
The Confraternity of Patients Kenya (COPAK) criticised the state of healthcare in the county following the governor's remarks, with Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale stepping in to defend the scheme.
