The Social Health Authority (SHA) in Kenya has announced a major shift in its leadership, placing Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) E.G. Wachira on compulsory leave for 90 days to facilitate an investigation into his professional conduct and performance. This move was detailed in a formal notice issued by SHA’s Chairperson, Dr. Abdi Mohamed, dated November 12, 2024.

The compulsory leave, effective immediately, was implemented following a board resolution aiming to address and thoroughly examine concerns surrounding Wachira’s professional behavior. Dr. Mohamed’s communication, directed to Mr. Wachira, confirmed that while on leave, he would retain his current remuneration and benefits. The letter states: “This is to inform you of the Resolution of the Board to send you on Compulsory Leave effective immediately for a period of Ninety (90) days to allow for further investigations into your professional conduct and performance as Acting Chief Executive Officer of Social Health Authority.”

In the interim, the SHA has appointed Robert Ingasira as the Acting Chief Executive Officer to ensure the continuity of operations. Ingasira’s appointment is intended to provide stability and maintain SHA’s service delivery and governance standards. Dr. Mohamed instructed Mr. Wachira to complete the handover process promptly, signaling the board’s commitment to a smooth administrative transition during this investigative period.

This development comes amid growing scrutiny over corporate governance practices within public health agencies. The SHA’s decision reflects an increasing trend within government institutions to enforce transparency and accountability at executive levels, especially in sectors directly impacting public welfare.
