The Ministry of Health has launched a crackdown targeting employers who are not remitting their employees' Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) deductions.
In a statement on Monday, June 23, the Medical Services Principal Secretary, Ouma Olunga, confirmed that the ministry has deployed Registration and Compliance Officers (RCOs) who will conduct door-to-door inspections to scrutinise employers' remittance compliance.
The team, according to the PS, will kickstart their inspections in Nairobi and then expand to Kiambu and Kajiado Counties before scaling up to the rest of the country in the next six months.
The ministry mandates every employer in the country to remit SHA deductions on the 9th of the month.
