According to Francis Gaitho, Jayesh Saini, the owner of Bliss Hospital and Nairobi West Hospital, has allegedly embezzled Ksh 140 billion through the Social Health Authority (SHA) and Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) in collaboration with William Ruto.
Gaitho claims that this massive theft has been orchestrated under the guise of healthcare reforms, with Saini benefiting directly from the funds funneled through his hospital empire.
Gaitho alleges that Ruto and Saini assume Kenyans are too blind to see the blatant corruption taking place. He suggests that their confidence stems from their ability to manipulate key political figures, including Raila Odinga, who, according to Gaitho, has been compromised through bribes.
This alleged betrayal by Raila, a figure previously seen as a defender of the people, is meant to silence opposition to the scheme.
The allegations point to a well-organized network where public funds meant for healthcare services are instead redirected into private hands.
Gaitho implies that the SHA and SHIF were never about improving the healthcare system but rather a sophisticated method of looting.
He questions how Saini, a businessman with a track record of controversial dealings, continues to secure lucrative government contracts while ordinary Kenyans struggle to access quality medical care. Gaitho warns that those involved in the scandal may soon face resistance from the public.
He suggests that the belief that bribing Raila will keep Kenyans silent is misguided. According to him, the outrage over the looting of public funds, particularly in the critical healthcare sector, will not be easily contained. He emphasizes that the scale of this alleged corruption is too large to ignore and that the people will eventually demand accountability.
Gaitho has consistently raised concerns over what he sees as a pattern of systemic theft in the healthcare sector, with well-connected individuals enriching themselves at the expense of the public. He insists that this is not an isolated case but part of a larger scheme that has been ongoing for years.
His claims paint a picture of a country where corruption is deeply entrenched, with key players shielding each other from scrutiny.
As these allegations circulate, many Kenyans will be watching closely to see if any action is taken or if, as Gaitho suggests, the looters will continue to operate without consequence.
