The legislator claimed that the SHA is facing a funding shortfall of Ksh75 billion, raising concerns about its ability to sustain operations and provide the services promised to Kenyans.
He further alleged that some actors involved in the programme had inflated projected implementation costs, although he did not name those responsible.
According to Omondi, the financial gaps within the system could undermine service delivery, particularly in public health facilities.
He expressed concern that key aspects of the programme may not be fully realised if the funding issues are not addressed.
Addressing teachers at the rally, the MP said expectations surrounding the new healthcare system were being overstated.
He warned that some of the benefits being communicated to the public may not materialise under the current structure.
Omondi specifically questioned promises related to access to essential medicines in hospitals, suggesting that such assurances may not be achievable given the alleged financial challenges.
He urged stakeholders to critically assess the programme and seek clarity on its sustainability.
The remarks come amid ongoing discussions about reforms in the healthcare sector and efforts to expand access to medical services across the country.
The SHA has been presented as a key initiative aimed at improving healthcare coverage, but concerns have been raised by some leaders regarding its implementation.
Omondi called for greater transparency in the management of the scheme, emphasising the need for clear accountability on how funds are allocated and utilised.
He said addressing these concerns would be critical in building public confidence in the system.
The MP also underscored the importance of ensuring that healthcare reforms are grounded in realistic financial planning.
He argued that without adequate funding, even well-intentioned programmes risk falling short of their objectives.
