Over 31mn Kenyans registered under SHA - June 2026

Kenya's Treasury CS Mbadi announced that over 31 million Kenyans are now registered under the new Social Health Authority (SHA), a significant increase from the previous National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) coverage of about eight million. Meanwhile, a new report reveals that thousands of women in Kenya's dairy industry are being stifled from growth due to a lack of formal financing, primarily caused by limited ownership of land and assets. In positive dairy sector news, Brookside Dairy has rewarded its contracted farmers with a substantial Sh255 million bonus for the first half of the year ending May 2026. Separately, KCB Group has significantly exceeded its sustainable finance targets, reporting a substantial increase in green loans disbursed in 2025, with green loans rising to Sh48.8 billion aimed at expanding funding for climate-smart projects across East Africa.
