The Social Health Authority (SHA) has recovered at least Sh300 million from fraudulent claims, with more cases still under investigation by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the authority has said.

SHA Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dr Mercy Mwangangi said the authority was pursuing suspected fraud through several channels, including internal investigations, administrative action, the DCI, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) and the courts.

“We have been able to recover close to Sh300 million to date, and we are still recovering more,” said Dr Mwangangi.
