A private company has been making billions of money from the Social Health Authority (SHA) that was controversially started by President William Ruto to replace the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF).

According to a report that was published by the Daily Nation on Monday July 6, 2026, the company has been identified as Finsprint. It’s offices are located in Kilimani, Nairobi.

The report by the newspaper has laid out what appears to be a layered chain of firms and subcontractors, all who are involved in the SHA system.

The report shows that the SHA system works through the Digital Health Agency (DHA) which is a semi-autonomous government agency that was set up to oversee the development, operationalization and maintenance of a Comprehensive Integrated Health Information System (CIHIS).

According to the report, the system set up by the DHA operates as a one-stop shop for all health data in the country, controlling the payment system for health providers and onboarding of new health services providers.

Under DHA is the consortium of firms that include Safaricom, Konvergenz Network Solutions and Apeiro Limited which is firm from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This is the consortium was engaged for the supply of the digital system whose estimated cost was a staggering Sh104 billion.

“Apeiro was given control of e-claims processing by Safaricom under a contract worth more than Sh5 billion. It runs the system that links SHA payments to hospital bank accounts,” the newspaper reported.

The report details that payment claims from hospitals are first sent to SHA for an initial review. They are reviewed by doctors and clinical officers who are paid by SHA but supervised by the DHA. If these claims are approved, they are then pushed forward to Konvergenz for another set of approvals. However, this is not the company that makes the payments.

Instead, Konvergenz sends them over to Finsprint which it has subcontracted. Once this firm receives the amounts due to each hospital, it allegedly deducts 2 percent before remitting the balance to the hospital bank accounts. Apparently, this firm claims that these deductions are done to cover “logistical costs”.

The report in the newspaper estimated that Finsprint may have pocketed as much as Sh2.9 billion since the inception of SHA if it has handled all the Sh146 billion that has reportedly been paid out to hospitals for health services rendered.

At the same time, the report shows that Finsprint was incorporated as a private company on July 12, 2020 with a nominal share capital of Sh100,000. The company has two directors who were identified as Issa Sheikh Mohamed of Nairobi and Abdulhakim Ibrahim Sheikh of Mombasa.

Out of the 1,000 company shares, 575 shares are held by a company that is known as Impactsoft Technologies Group Limited. Registration documents indicate that this company is a Kenyan entity but has no known address.

The remaining 425 shares are held by Abdulhakim who is also one of the owners of Konvergenz Network Solutions.

According to the report, Finsprint is colleting Sh2 from every Sh100 that Kenyans contribute to SHA. In addition, this private firm is collecting Sh5 for every Sh100 that is claimed by hospitals. The consortium involved in this deal also charges 1.5 percent for what has been termed as tracking services.

The replacement of NHIF by SHIF brought on board a new format in salary deductions, with SHA’s Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) deductions being larger in comparison to the old NHIF deductions. Under SHIF, all workers get deducted 2.5 per cent of their salaries.

SHA has been dogged by controversies, with multiple cases of patients being turned away from hospitals or hospitals refusing to accept SHIF from admitted patients reported widely in the media since the program went into force in October 2024.

Structures change the game. A stronghold within 500 blocks of spawn is the difference between a quick End run and a two-hour expedition. A woodland mansion on the map means planning, not luck.

A minecraft seed viewer for finding structures shows every structure coordinate before you leave spawn. You plan the route, not the search.

Many players use a seed viewer to save time during the early stages of the game. Instead of exploring random areas, they can focus on locations that contain useful resources and important structures.

How to Find the Seed of a Minecraft Server

Before you can use a viewer, you need the seed. Here’s how to find the seed of a minecraft server depending on your access level:

1. If you have operator permissions: type /seed in chat — number appears instantly
2. If you own the server: check server.properties file, look for level-seed
3. If you’re a regular player: ask the server owner or an admin
4. On Bedrock: world settings show the seed in the Game tab

Minecraft confirms that the /seed command requires operator level 2 permissions on most server configurations. If the command returns nothing, permissions are likely restricted.

Once you have the number, the viewer does the rest.

After entering the seed, the tool quickly generates a full overview of the world. This allows players to see important locations before they even start exploring. It makes early-game planning much faster and more efficient.

What Structures the Viewer Reveals

A lot of players check their seed before starting because it helps them understand the world much faster. The viewer highlights important places, nearby biomes, and useful structures that could otherwise take hours to discover. You still get to explore everything yourself, but you spend less time searching without direction.

When you find the seed of a minecraft server and run it through a viewer, you get the full structure map:

• Strongholds — end portal rooms and exact coordinates
• Villages — all variants including plains, taiga, savanna, and desert
• Pillager outposts — useful for bad omen raids
• Ocean monuments — for elder guardians and sponge rooms
• Woodland mansions — rare and usually far from spawn
• Ancient cities — deep dark biome, high-risk high-reward
• Nether fortresses and bastions — visible once you enter the Nether

Using tools to find server seed minecraft makes it possible for every player on the server to access the same shared map through the viewer.

Why Minecraft Feels Completely Different With Modpacks

Why Knowing the Seed Changes Multiplayer Strategy

On shared servers, structure knowledge becomes a resource. Who gets to the stronghold first. Which village is closest to each player’s base. Whether there are multiple monuments worth raiding.

Find the seed of a minecraft server before the session starts and you arrive with a plan instead of a guess. That’s true whether you’re playing casually or in a competitive SMP context.

Minecraft streamer Technoblade — one of the most decorated competitive players in the game’s history — always emphasized preparation: “Knowledge is the most powerful weapon in any game.” Seed maps are exactly that kind of knowledge.

Server Performance Affects Structure Exploration

Looking at the structure map before starting a multiplayer session also helps teams plan their exploration. Players can choose different routes, avoid searching the same areas, and reach important locations more quickly by working together.

Traveling to distant structures loads new chunks constantly. On a healthy server, this is seamless. On an underpowered one, every fast journey creates lag spikes.

The viewer gives you the coordinates. A stable server makes sure the chunks are there when you arrive. Both matter. Neither works without the other.

The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has opened applications for a fully sponsored one-year technical skills training programme targeting unemployed Form Four leavers from four counties.

The initiative is financed by the World Bank through the Horn of Africa Gateway Development Project and will support the second cohort of the Technical Capacity Development through Training programme.

The programme targets unemployed youth, including those affected by the ongoing construction of the 740-kilometre Isiolo-Mandera highway, and persons living with disabilities from Isiolo, Meru, Wajir and Garissa counties.

According to KeNHA, the programme is designed to equip participants with practical artisan-level skills that will improve their employability and create opportunities for self-employment and income generation.

Successful applicants will be trained in a wide range of technical and vocational fields, including masonry, plumbing, electrical installation and electronics, automotive engineering, welding and fabrication, carpentry and joinery.

Others are hairdressing and beauty therapy, fashion and design, food and beverage production, computer and mobile phone repair, information and communication technology (ICT), motor vehicle mechanics, tailoring and dressmaking, as well as pastry and bakery.

The one-year artisan and craft-level courses will be offered at Nkabune Technical Training Institute, North Eastern National Polytechnic, Bishop Locati Training Institute, Sensei Institute and Meru National Polytechnic.

Requirements and how to apply

To qualify, applicants must be aged between 18 and 35 years, be residents of Meru, Isiolo, Wajir or Garissa counties, and meet the academic requirements for their preferred course.

While most programmes require a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), some courses accredited by the National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) do not require formal academic qualifications.

“KeNHA now invites suitable applicants to submit their applications for the training. Interested applicants should give information proving that they meet the minimum prerequisites to be accepted for the technical training. The minimum requirement is a KCSE certificate (any grade),” KeNHA said.

Applicants must also possess a valid Kenyan National Identity Card. Those seeking admission to the Plant Construction Mechanics course will additionally be required to present a valid driving licence.

The authority said priority will be given to applicants living with disabilities, orphans, youth from single-parent families, and young single parents.

Application forms can be obtained free of charge from KeNHA regional offices in Isiolo and Garissa, Area Chiefs’ offices, County Commissioners’ offices in the four target counties, or downloaded from the KeNHA website.

“Application forms must be signed and stamped by the Area Chief or Assistant County Commissioner as proof of the residency status of the applicant,” the Authority added.

Completed applications must be submitted by Thursday, July 23, 2026, at 5 p.m.

Moi University has announced plans to cut its workforce, including lecturers, as it undertakes a fresh restructuring programme aimed at restoring its financial stability after more than a decade of mounting debt and operational challenges.

The institution’s Acting Vice Chancellor, Kiplagat Kotut, told the National Assembly’s Education Committee on Thursday that the university is carrying out a workload analysis to identify employees whose services may no longer be required.

Kotut said the exercise is intended to streamline operations and eliminate positions where staff members have little or no workload.

“We realised some of the lecturers have not been teaching. They are parasitising on others, so we are saying that since they do not have anything to do, we will release them,” he told the committee.

The announcement comes as the university battles a severe financial crisis, with accumulated debts exceeding Sh8 billion and pending bills now standing at more than Sh10 billion.

According to Kotut, the pending bills stem from budget deficits that have accumulated since 2014, placing immense pressure on the institution’s operations.

He appealed to lawmakers to allocate an additional Sh1.9 billion in the 2026/27 financial year to support the university’s recurrent expenditure and ease its financial strain.

“The issue of pending bills remains a major concern for us. We request that this committee consider adding Sh1.9 billion to support recurrent expenditure for 2026/27,” he said.

However, members of the Education Committee challenged the university’s management to demonstrate the measures taken to restore confidence in the institution and reverse concerns over its financial sustainability.

In response, Kotut said the administration had focused on rebuilding trust among students and parents by ensuring academic programmes run on schedule, students graduate on time, and long-standing challenges such as missing examination marks are resolved.

He noted that the reforms are beginning to bear fruit, citing a steady rise in student enrolment over the past three years.

According to the Acting Vice Chancellor, student admissions increased from 5,000 in 2024 to 6,800 in 2025, with enrolment projected to reach 10,000 this year.

The planned layoffs mark the latest phase of the university’s restructuring efforts following a series of redundancy exercises undertaken in 2025 as part of an aggressive cost-cutting strategy.

In March last year, the institution terminated the contracts of 324 employees working in security, cleaning, hostel and library services. Two months later, it issued redundancy notices to 892 employees, including about 120 lecturers, in one of the largest workforce reductions in the university’s history.

Moi University has faced sustained scrutiny in recent years over its financial management, with allegations of misuse of public funds, irregularities in construction projects, unpaid obligations and other transactions that have contributed to substantial financial losses.

For many people, success in the corporate world marks the pinnacle of achievement. But for Lillian Ngala, a distinguished human resource executive, professional success has become a platform to transform the lives of some of society’s most vulnerable people.

As the Human Resource Director at DTB Bank, Ngala leads strategic talent and people management initiatives at one of the country’s leading financial institutions.

Away from the corporate boardroom, however, she is equally committed to a different mission—helping widows, orphaned children, young people and persons with disabilities regain dignity and build sustainable livelihoods.

The inspiration behind this work is rooted in her own childhood.

Ngala’s father died while she was still in high school, leaving her mother to shoulder the responsibility of raising the family under difficult circumstances.

Following the loss, the family relocated to a modest home in Homa Bay, where her mother worked tirelessly as a tailor to provide for them.

She sewed school uniforms for a missionary school, which in return waived the family’s school fees, enabling the children to continue with their education despite the financial hardships.

Those early struggles continue to influence her work today through the Lillian Ngala Foundation, a non-governmental organisation dedicated to restoring dignity and empowering vulnerable members of society.

One of the foundation’s flagship programmes supports widows in Homa Bay by helping them secure decent housing and providing seed capital to establish small businesses.

Beneficiaries also receive entrepreneurship training to equip them with the skills needed to manage and grow their enterprises.

According to Ngala, the interventions go beyond improving economic well-being by rebuilding confidence and self-worth among the women.

“Poverty makes widows hide; they don’t want to be seen. But the moment you give them a decent house, they come out. They walk into the market with their heads high. The transition is everything,” she says.

Through the initiative, more than 100 widows have already benefited from improved housing and economic empowerment.

The foundation also offers school bursaries to orphaned and vulnerable children, helping keep them in school despite financial challenges.

It further invests in youth empowerment programmes, which Ngala believes create lasting benefits for communities by equipping young people with opportunities to become productive members of society.

For persons with disabilities, the organisation works to eliminate barriers that limit their participation and inclusion, enabling them to live more independent and fulfilling lives.

Ngala’s philanthropic work complements a distinguished career spanning more than two decades in human resource management.

She joined DTB Bank in 2012 and has steadily risen through the ranks to become the institution’s Human Resource Director, where she oversees strategic human capital initiatives and talent management.

She holds a Master of Business Administration in Strategic Management from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology and is a certified professional trainer accredited by the Institute of Human Resource Management.

Beyond her corporate responsibilities, Ngala serves on several professional boards, including the Kenya Institute of Bankers, the African Human Resource Congress and the Kenyan Network Information Centre (KeNIC).

She also leads the Lillian Ngala Network, an initiative focused on mentoring and nurturing the next generation of leaders.
