Following scandals within the Social Health Authority (SHA), Qimiao Fan, World Bank's Division Director for Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, and Uganda, has urged Kenya to adopt a new fiscal compact addressing health investments, rising debt, and the jobs crisis.

• Inefficiencies are estimated to cost Kenya Ksh608 billion annually, according to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission.
• Kenya loses over Ksh510 billion annually due to tax exemptions, representing approximately 3.4 per cent of GDP.
• Mr. Fan proposed reforming tax exemptions, strengthening property and wealth taxes, and empowering the private sector to boost job creation and revenue.
• Eliminating bribes to traffic police, estimated at 0.5 per cent of GDP annually, could finance significant national projects.
• Implementing these policies could cut Kenya's debt-to-GDP ratio by one-third within a decade, according to the World Bank's latest Public Finance Review.
