In a message shared on social media, the senator called on Kenyans to keep retweeting his post until it reaches President William Ruto.
He said the aim is simple: to remind the Head of State that those in charge of SHA must take responsibility.
Speaking directly to citizens, Khalwale addressed what he called “good people,” urging them not to stay silent.
He insisted that public pressure is necessary when serious questions are raised about the handling of public funds.
According to the senator, the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Aden Duale, the SHA Chief Executive Officer, and the SHA Chairman should all step aside to allow proper investigations to take place.
The senator’s message quickly gained attention online, with many Kenyans sharing and commenting on it.
His appeal reflects growing frustration among citizens who feel that issues involving public money are often swept under the carpet.
By encouraging mass retweeting, Khalwale appeared to be saying that the voice of the people still matters and can force leaders to listen.
The allegations are particularly sensitive because SHA deals with healthcare funding.
These are resources meant to help hospitals function, support patients, and ensure that Kenyans can access treatment without being pushed into poverty.
Any claim that such money is missing naturally raises fear and anger, especially among families already struggling with medical bills.
Khalwale argued that stepping aside is not an admission of guilt. Instead, he said it is a responsible move that shows respect for the public and for the institutions involved.
In his view, leaders cannot supervise investigations into their own offices while still holding power.
He maintained that allowing independent scrutiny is the only way to clear doubts and restore confidence.
The senator’s remarks have drawn mixed reactions. Some Kenyans have welcomed his bold stand, saying leaders must be held accountable at all times.
They argue that healthcare funds touch the lives of millions and should be protected at all costs. To them, Khalwale is simply saying what many people are thinking but fear to say openly.
Others, however, have called for calm. They say allegations must be backed by facts and handled through proper channels such as audits and parliamentary oversight.
These critics warn that public pressure, while important, should not replace due process or fairness.
