Key points Auditor General said about Social Health Authority

The multibillion-shilling system used to manage social health insurance is not controlled by the government but by individuals.

And some patients are being turned away, a report by the auditor general has said.

The audit said the Sh104 billion system that contains Kenyans’ health data is in the hands of private individuals.

Auditor General Nancy Gathungu said her review revealed that control was in the hands of the consortium that won the tender.

Details emerging for the first time show that the consortium owns the system, its components and intellectual property rights.
