Protect your employees. Protect your business. It's the law.
Mufasa Insurance Agencies arranges wiba, work injury benefits across Kakamega County - Kakamega, Mumias, Ikolomani, Malava and every town in between. Kakamega is Kenya's fourth most populous county, built on sugarcane, maize and dense smallholder farming, with artisanal gold mining at Ikolomani and the last remaining tropical rainforest in the country. With commercial farming, mining and trading driving the local economy, the cover that makes sense here is specific to Kakamega. We are IRA-licensed, we place with Kenya's major underwriters, and quotes come back the same working day over WhatsApp.
Why Kakamega Is Different
Sugarcane transport puts heavily loaded tractors and trucks on rural roads with a high accident rate. Artisanal gold mining carries severe and largely uninsured injury exposure, and dense settlement means high boda-boda claim frequency. WIBA cover responds to exactly that kind of loss, paying a cash benefit for death or disablement rather than reimbursing a bill.
For riders, fishermen, miners and transporters, group cover arranged through a SACCO, cooperative or association is the practical route in Kakamega. Per-member cost falls sharply above about ten members, and the group handles collection.
A lump sum on accidental death, a scaled benefit for permanent disablement, plus medical expenses and often a weekly income benefit while you cannot work. Limits are set by you, so the cover can be sized to what your household actually needs.
Coverage Details

The Process

In the event of a workplace injury, we guide the claim process with DOSH and the insurer so you stay legally compliant throughout.

Yes. Every employer in Kenya with at least one employee must have WIBA cover. This includes domestic workers, casual staff, and part-time employees.
You'll be personally liable for all injury compensation costs. Additionally, operating without WIBA is a criminal offence under the Work Injury Benefits Act, penalties include fines and imprisonment.
Premium is a percentage of your total annual wage bill, multiplied by a risk factor based on the nature of the work. Manual and hazardous work attracts higher rates than office-based roles.
