Allocation of KSh 21 billion to KEMSA

In June 2026, President Ruto announced that KSh 21 billion would be allocated to the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) to ensure hospitals, dispensaries, and health facilities across the country have adequate medical supplies.

In August 2026, KEMSA received a KSh 10 billion loan to help it buy and stock medicine and other medical supplies. The Cabinet Secretary for Health, Aden Duale, gave more details on how the additional funding had changed operations at KEMSA and how it linked to SHA, the body that manages Taifa Care.
