The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has demanded an inquiry into the Social Health Authority (SHA) recruitment process after Andrew Rotich, a whistleblower, was dropped from a shortlist. ICPAK fears this incident could discourage professionals from reporting fraud.

• Andrew Rotich, Deputy Director of Forensic Audit and Risk Assurance at SHA, allegedly exposed multibillion-shilling fraud.
• Dennis Itumbi, Head of Presidential Special Projects and Creative Economy, countered that Rotich applied for Assistant Director and is already shortlisted for interviews, claiming media reports are exaggerated.
• The Daily Nation reported on September 26, 2025, that Rotich's name was dropped from a shortlist for the same job he was appointed to in April 2025, along with two other deputy directors.

The US government has charged a 40-year-old Kenyan for allegedly conspiring to steal HIV test kits and other medical supplies worth millions of shillings from the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA). The supplies were part of a Ksh83 billion USAID program aimed at fighting HIV/AIDS in Kenya.

• A Guyanese accomplice allegedly bought the stolen commodities and then sold them to the Guyana Ministry of Health.
• The Guyanese national reportedly paid the Kenyan suspect more than Ksh22 million ($177,000) between 2015 and 2019 for the stolen test kits.
• The US prosecutors highlighted the complexity of the investigation, stating that it spanned years and an ocean, and that the defendants jeopardized a vital public health mission.

The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) has demanded due process in the case of senior auditor CPA Andrew Kipkirui Rotich, who exposed large-scale billing fraud at the Social Health Authority (SHA) and was subsequently fired. His dismissal has ignited a national debate on whistleblower protection.

• Rotich, Deputy Director of Forensic Audit and Risk Assurance at SHA, uncovered a scheme where thousands of facilities allegedly billed taxpayers for services never provided.
• ICPAK, the statutory body regulating accountancy, expressed solidarity with Rotich, vowing to stand by him and urging the Social Health Authority and the Ministry of Health to uphold fairness and justice.
• The institute renewed its call for an urgent Whistleblower Protection Act and National Whistleblower Policy, recommending an independent inquiry into SHA's recruitment process and security guarantees for Rotich and other whistleblowers.

The Kenyan Senate has raised concerns about alleged corruption in the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) recruitment process, with claims that slots are being sold for up to Ksh400,000.

• Defence Cabinet Secretary Soipan Tuya has missed three scheduled appearances before the Senate to address these allegations.
• The KDF maintains that its recruitment process is transparent, fair, and free of charge, with various officer and recruit positions available.
