As the Ministry of Health gears towards transitioning health schemes to fit Kenya Kwanza administration’s health agenda, the issue of fraud in employment at the current scheme has emerged.

A senior source at the Ministry has hinted to The Standard that the ongoing clean-up exercise at National Health Insurance has revealed that a number of employees hold fake certificates.

21 employees at the fund, according to the source, allegedly forged their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificates, with discrepancies emerging in over 50 certificates.
