Amid the ongoing debate surrounding the legacy of the Linda Mama policy, the government has been urged to consider implementing a two-child per family policy.
According to the senator, Linda Jamii provides comprehensive household health coverage, whereas Linda Mama covered only maternity.
He said that while Linda Jamii covers vulnerable mothers, their spouses and children, Linda Mama only covered pregnant mothers and newborns.
The Linda Mama programme was a great programme that we developed under the leadership of President Uhuru, and we learnt a lot from the Linda Mama programme," Ruto stated.
''Because of the experiences from the Linda Mama Programme, we designed the Linda Jamii Programme, which was an improvement over its predecessor.
