Health Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Aden Duale, has today firmly reiterated his commitment to uphold the Constitution by emphasizing the need to transfer the payrolls and associated budgets for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) staff from the Ministry of Health to county governments.

“Health is a devolved function. I will not violate the Constitution,” the Cabinet Secretary remarked, underscoring his respect for the law and the spirit of devolution.

Hon. Duale made these remarks at Afya House, Nairobi, during the launch of 2,000 Cold Chain Equipment (CCE) donated by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). The equipment will be distributed to all 47 counties to enhance access to immunization services, a key component of Primary Health Care and an essential pillar of UHC.

The event also highlighted the Government’s commitment to strengthening last-mile delivery of vaccines, ensuring that every child, regardless of location, is protected from vaccine-preventable diseases.
