Top salaried workers will from July pay higher for National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) as informal contributors enjoy lower rates in proposed changes announced on Monday by President William Ruto.

President Ruto said the current rates, in which salaried workers pay between Sh150 and Sh1,700 depending on their monthly pay, are going to be phased out and replaced with a flat rate of 2.7 percent of the salary.
