The National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) has been losing hundreds of taxpayer funds to fraudsters due to weak data management systems.

A report released by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) indicated that user accounts associated with the service providers had unrestricted access to the Fund's system and all facilities or beneficiaries' data.

EACC revealed that, in July 2022 the insurance scheme lost a whooping Sh29 million, further escalating concerns already raised by the public on the integrity of the scheme.
