Auditor General Nancy Gathungu reported flaws in the procurement of the KSh 104 billion Social Health Authority (SHA) system from Safaricom-led consortium.

The article from MSN discusses a report by the Controller of Budget (CoB) which claims that the Kenyan government will lose control of the Sh104 billion medical equipment leasing program to a consortium led by Safaricom in 10 years. However, the consortium, which includes Safaricom, has refuted these claims, asserting that the government will retain full ownership and control of the medical equipment. The consortium emphasized that their role is limited to providing technical support and maintenance services, not ownership or control. This response came after the CoB's report suggested that the government's decision to lease rather than buy the equipment could lead to a loss of control over these assets. The consortium's statement aims to clarify their involvement and reassure the public and stakeholders about the governance and future control of the medical equipment.
