President William Ruto on Friday, May 9, assured employees of the defunct National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) who missed out in the Social Health Authority (SHA) intake that the government would consider them.

Ruto, who spoke during the handing over of disease surveillance vehicles at State House in Nairobi, said the former NHIF employees who missed absorption into SHA would be reassigned to various roles within the public service.

The Head of State, while addressing the press alongside governors and senior officials within the Ministry of Health, noted that no government worker would lose their job.

According to him, the government was focused on securing qualified professionals for the SHA jobs, adding that priority would be given to former NHIF employees.
