In the Finance and Accounts department, Rahab Waruguru Mumbi and Amos Manani were appointed, while Gloria Chebet Rotich and Jaldesa Amina joined the Administration department.
SHA replaced the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) in October 2024 after the government restructured the national health financing system. NHIF had served Kenyans for more than five decades before being phased out.
The new authority oversees three major funds: the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF), the Primary Healthcare Fund, and the Emergency, Chronic and Critical Illnesses Fund.

The government says the integrated structure is meant to improve access to healthcare while sealing loopholes that previously allowed fraud.
President William Ruto has repeatedly defended the new scheme, stating that it was designed to eliminate cartels that had taken advantage of the old system through false claims. Since its launch, SHA has registered over 20 million beneficiaries across the country.
However, the president has also warned that fraud remains a major challenge. He has directed tough action against hospitals and service providers found manipulating the system, revealing that more than 1,000 health facilities have already been shut down or lost their licences over suspected fraud.
