Over 44,000 firms have been put on the spot by the Ministry of Health over their failure to remit deductions towards the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF).
Medical Services Principal Secretary Ouma Oluga fired a warning to the employers who are said to owe the government billions of shillings, threatening the delivery of services by the State to citizens.
Speaking at the launch of a new digital health service system in Migori, PS Oluga revealed that the government would take action against employers who consistently fail to remit SHA deductions.
Currently, the statutory SHA contribution is 2.75 per cent of one's gross or household income every month.
