NAIROBI, Kenya — The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions has secured arrest warrants against 20 individuals and eight medical facilities over an alleged Sh28 million fraud linked to the Social Health Authority (SHA) scheme.
The warrants were issued by the Milimani Law Courts after the suspects failed to appear in court to face criminal charges approved by the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Prosecution Counsel Joyce Olajo successfully applied for the warrants, telling the court the accused persons had not presented themselves to answer to the charges.
According to the prosecution, the suspects allegedly orchestrated a scheme to fraudulently register medical facilities and submit claims for medical procedures that were never performed, resulting in a loss of approximately Sh28 million.
