Kenya's Social Health Authority (SHA) is embroiled in a massive fraud scandal, with allegations of payments to fictitious facilities and widespread corruption draining billions from public funds. The scandal mirrors issues that plagued its predecessor, the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF).

• Over Ksh. 10.6 billion in claims submitted to SHA were rejected due to suspected fraud, with another Ksh. 2.1 billion under scrutiny.
• Mercy Mwangangi, SHA Chief Executive Officer, has suspended 85 health facilities due to rampant fraud, including Walalaha Nursing Home Limited, which was registered in February 2025 but reportedly received Ksh. 2 million in June 2025.
• The Auditor-General, Nancy Gathungu, reported that Ksh. 104.8 billion was deployed to SHA's system despite the government not owning or controlling its intellectual property, raising significant concerns about public fund risks.
• The former Chief Justice, David Maraga, has called for an investigation into Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) over the alleged cover-up.
