Employers Face 2 Million Shilling Fine or 3 Years Imprisonment
The Kenyan government has issued a stern warning to employers who fail to comply with the mandatory declaration of their employees under the Social Health Authority (SHA) scheme. Employers found in violation of the regulations face severe consequences, including a substantial fine of 2 million shillings or a prison term of 3 years.
This significant penalty highlights the government's commitment to enforcing compliance with the SHA and ensuring that all employees have access to the benefits provided under the program. Employers are urged to take immediate action to register their staff to avoid legal repercussions and ensure the well-being of their employees.
By understanding the severe consequences of non-compliance, employers can take proactive steps to register their employees under the SHA and contribute to a more equitable and sustainable healthcare system in Kenya.
