Former Health CAS Mercy Mwangangi Among 12 Candidates Shortlisted for SHA CEO Position
Former Health Chief Administrative Secretary Mercy Mwangangi and acting Social Health Authority (SHA) CEO Robert Ingasira are among 12 candidates shortlisted for the SHA’s Chief Executive Officer position.
The vacancy arose following the suspension of Elijah Wachira in November 2024, amid investigations into his professional conduct and performance. Ingasira stepped in as acting CEO.
Others include Kennedy Akello, Roberts Abok, Serem Edward, Wario Tore, Agrippina Fernendes, Abdullahi Abdirahman, Musa Lwegado, Samson Kairang’a, Dinah Kirwa, and Kandie Ng’ochoch.
The 12 were shortlisted from an initial 92 applicants.
SHA advertised for the position on February 27, 2025, with applications closing on March 20, 2025.
In a notice on Saturday, SHA CEO Abdi Mohammed announced that the interviews will take place on April 7 and 8, 2025 at the authority’s headquarters.
“Applicants should report to the venue 30 minutes before the scheduled time,” the notice read in part.
The public has been invited to submit any information regarding any of the candidates before the interview dates.
“Members of the public are invited to avail any adverse information relating to any of the shortlisted applicants to the Chairperson, Social Health Authority Board, SHA Building, 10th Floor, Nairobi, or through email to [email protected] to be received on or before 4th April 2025 at 5 pm,” the notice read further.
Candidates will be required to present their original national identity cards, academic and professional certificates, and transcripts during the interview.
They must also provide clearance certificates from the Kenya Revenue Authority, the Higher Education Loans Board, a registered Credit Reference Bureau, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission.
For those with degrees from foreign institutions, a recognition letter from the Commission for University Education is mandatory.
Additionally, applicants should submit recommendation letters or certificates of good standing from relevant professional bodies if applicable.
SHA is a state corporation responsible for managing public health insurance, aiming to provide affordable and quality healthcare for all citizens and eligible residents.
It replaced the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) following the enactment of the Social Health Insurance Act, of 2023, and began operations on October 1, 2024.
