Francis Atwoli, Secretary General of the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU), has accused the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Digital Health Authority (DHA) of being responsible for fraudulent claims at the Social Health Authority (SHA). He claims the SHA lacks autonomy due to its reliance on an IT platform controlled by the MoH and DHA.

• Atwoli, a member of the SHA board, has been attempting to meet with Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale for one month regarding these issues.
• The core problem, according to Atwoli, is that SHA's operations are "entirely dependent on an IT platform" managed by the DHA and MoH, instead of being independently controlled by SHA.
• Atwoli warned that if SHA is not given 100 percent control of its IT platform, workers will lose faith in the institution, affecting compliance and service provision.
