Former Health Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) Mercy Mukui Mwangangi and acting Social Health Authority (SHA) CEO Robert Mbarani Ingasira are among 12 candidates shortlisted for the SHA Chief Executive Officer position.
In a memo issued by the SHA board chairperson, Abdi Mohamed, interviews are set to take place at the SHA headquarters during the first week of next month.
The former CEO left the position due to personal reasons and a desire to pursue other opportunities.
The shortlisted candidates for the April 7 interviews include Kennedy Odhiambo Akello, Roberts Eloto Abok, Dr. Serem Kimutai Edward, and Wario Boru Tore. Akello, a seasoned public health expert, has been instrumental in various health initiatives across the country.
Others on the list are Dr. Agrippina Njoki Fernandes, Abdullahi Sheikh Abdirahman, Dr. Musa Nyandusi Lwegado, Dr. Samson Kuhora Kairang’a, Dinah Jemelly Kirwa, and Kandie Ng’ochoch.
The board has mandated that all shortlisted candidates present original documents, including their national identity cards, academic and professional certificates, and valid clearances from institutions such as the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), Directorate of Criminal Investigations, and Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). Additionally, candidates with degrees from foreign universities must provide letters of recognition from the Commission for University Education (CUE).
Notably, SHA has invited members of the public to submit any adverse information regarding the shortlisted candidates to the chairperson, the Social Health Authority Board, by April 4 at 5pm. This information can be submitted either physically at the SHA headquarters or via email.
