Workers to pay more as NHIF gazettes new rates

The National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) has published new rates which take effect April 1, this year. This is against protests from the Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE), which is pushing for more consultations.

In a special gazette notice dated February 6, 2015, the proposed premiums will see those in employment and earning a gross income of up to Sh5,999 contribute Sh150 per month, the lowest contribution according to the proposed rates published by the fund. The self-employed will contribute Sh500 monthly.
