Social Health Authority (SHA) Faces Allegations of Fraud and Missing Payment Claims - August 2025
Kenya's Social Health Authority (SHA), launched in October 2024 to replace the NHIF, is embroiled in significant fraud scandals, with reports of billions of shillings being lost to cartels. The Social Health Authority has refuted claims that a list of payments to hospitals went missing and that it disabled the Kenya Master Facility Registry. This response came after payment records and the registry became inaccessible on Monday, August 25, amidst allegations of massive fraud. Francis Atwoli, Secretary General of COTU, has accused the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Digital Health Authority (DHA) of responsibility for the fraudulent claims. Atwoli asserts that the SHA lacks autonomy due to its reliance on an IT platform controlled by the MoH and DHA, which threatens to undermine universal healthcare efforts.
