She challenged MPs and senators who claim the new health system is not working to first deregister themselves and their families before asking ordinary citizens to lose trust in it.
Speaking candidly, Wamuchomba said it is easy for leaders to stand in churches and funerals and tell people that SHA has failed, yet continue enjoying the same system privately.
She argued that such behavior is dishonest and unfair to citizens who rely on leaders for guidance.
“If you truly believe SHA is not working, then lead by example and opt out first,” she said.
The MP stressed that leadership is about providing solutions, not spreading fear or amplifying problems.
While she acknowledged that SHA is facing real challenges, especially with system efficiency and service delivery, she warned against condemning the entire program without offering constructive alternatives.
Wamuchomba said no major reform can be perfect in its early stages. According to her, SHA is a new system that requires time, adjustments, and honest feedback to improve.
She urged leaders to work together to fix what is not working instead of calling for its rejection. Blanket condemnation, she said, only creates confusion and panic among citizens.
She also criticized politicians who are asking their supporters and followers not to register with SHA.
Wamuchomba described such calls as retrogressive and irresponsible, especially since no alternative health plan has been proposed.
She questioned what citizens are expected to rely on if SHA is abandoned without a replacement.
The MP emphasized that health care is too important to be turned into a political weapon.
She said many Kenyans depend on public health systems and cannot afford private insurance.
Discouraging people from registering, she warned, puts lives at risk and undermines efforts to achieve universal health coverage.
