Twenty individuals belonging to eight medical facilities implicated in the Social Health Authority (SHA) fraud scheme are set for arrest after they failed to appear at the Milimani Law Court today in the proceedings to answer medical facilities implicated in the Social Health Authority (SHA) fraud scheme.
The arrest comes after the Director of Public Prosecutions received the warrant of their arrest following a grant by the law courts.
The eight face seven charges all approved by the DPP including conspiracy to defraud, operating unlicensed health facilities, acquisition and use of proceeds of crime, unauthorized access to computer systems, computer fraud, obtaining money by false pretence, and abuse of office.
“The warrants were granted following an application by Prosecution Counsel Joyce Olajo after the suspects failed to appear in court to answer to criminal charges approved by the DPP,” the DPP stated after receiving the warrants of arrest.
The prosecutors told the court the suspects allegedly orchestrated a scheme to fraudulently register medical facilities and bill for medical procedures that were never performed, leading to a loss of approximately Sh28 million.
The twenty facing the arrest include Ibrahim Rashid, Ahmed Mohamud Adan, Kamsia Hassan Kala, Hawa Alinoor Malo, Naima Sheikh Ali, Adhihakim Sheikh Ali, Adan Adikhaliq Abdullah, Yussuf Siat Jelle, Mohammed Kulow Ali, Hassan Adan Ibrahim, Mohamed Mohamud Sheik, Ali Ahmed Adan, Mohamednoor Ismael Omar, Ismail Omar Mohammed, and Ali Adin Ibrahim, among others.
This is even as the DPP further recommended charges against eight medical facilities: Kaafi Nursing Home, Dimtu Nursing Limited, Mama Nerbeel Nursing Home, Kamsihawa Medical Centre, Adfeel Kids Care Medical Centre Limited, Julun Nursing Home, Danaba Care Hospital Limited, and Alati Nursing Home, for their alleged role in the fraudulent scheme.
In a related development, the DPP has charged Harun Liluma with conspiracy to defraud, unauthorized access to computer systems, and abuse of office.
He pleaded not guilty before Senior Principal Magistrate Hon. Nyangena and was released on a bond of Sh1 million with two sureties, or a cash bail of Sh500,000, alongside two contact persons.
The court heard that the offences were allegedly committed on diverse dates between 30th January 2025 and 25th August 2025 within the Republic of Kenya.
The matters are scheduled for mention next week as the DPP continues to demonstrate resolve in safeguarding public resources and upholding accountability in the health sector.
