This is a simple guide on how to pay the NHIF penalty through Mpesa. Having an NHIF cover in Kenya is one of the most important things you will do in your life. For instance, upon admission to the hospital, an NHIF member is accorded services and the hospital later makes a claim to the Fund for reimbursement- which can simply save your life when broke.
Sometimes you can forget to pay your NHIF monthly contribution if you are self-employed, which results in a penalty of Ksh 250. This happens when you fail to pay your contribution before the 9th of every month. Below, we have done a simple guide on how you can pay the penalty via Mpesa.
