Seven insurance companies are under scrutiny by the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) for failing to submit mandatory quarterly returns. This non-compliance prevents the regulator from assessing their financial performance and industry compliance.

• The seven insurers are: Definite Assurance Company, Kenyan Alliance Insurance Company Limited (General and Life), Monarch Insurance Company Limited (General and Life), Star Discover Micro Insurance Limited, and Birdview Micro Insurance.
• Insurers failing to submit returns hinder regulatory oversight and reduce financial information availability for stakeholders.
• This comes as Kenya's insurance industry reported strong growth in Q1 2026, with gross written premiums rising 19.9 percent to Sh155.3 billion.
