Atwoli Discloses His Role in Firing SHA CEO

Atwoli Discloses His Role in Firing SHA CEO and subsequent position on the SHA board that made him one of the decision-makers in the ouster of Wachira.

“I represent workers on the SHA board. This Tuesday I was part of those people who made changes by showing the acting CEO the way out,” he disclosed.

He was this week sent on a 90-day compulsory leave by the SHA board as Robert Ingasira took over his place.

“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,” read the letter in part.

“As its first assignment towards UHC attainment, it has been critical to pursue the clearance of these pending bills as they also disburse claims on time to avoid payment backlogs. 50% of the Ksh 19B pending bills have been cleared in just over one month, a historic fete since the advent of SHA.”

“It therefore is a concern when the Acting CEO, Mr. Elijah Wachira takes actions that not only go against this effort but put the delivery of health care services at risk despite the government’s best effort by diverting resources to a tune of Ksh 1.6B earmarked for offsetting debt to public government facilities almost leading to paralysis of healthcare on account of pending bills,” noted the board
