Court issues warrant of arrest against 20 people in Ksh.28M SHA fraud

Milimani Law Courts has issued warrants of arrest against 20 individuals and eight medical facilities implicated in the multi-million Social Health Authority (SHA) fraud scheme.

According to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), the warrants were granted following an application by the prosecution after the suspects failed to appear in court to answer to criminal charges levelled against them.

Those facing arrest warrants 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.

The eight medical facilities alleged to be involved in fraud are 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.

Appearing before the court on Tuesday, prosecutors said 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 Ksh.28 million.

“The charges sanctioned by the DPP include conspiracy to defraud, operating unlicensed health facilities, acquisition and use of proceeds of crime, unauthorised access to computer systems, computer fraud, obtaining money by false pretence, and abuse of office,” stated ODPP.

The DPP also charged Harun Liluma with conspiracy to defraud, unauthorised access to computer systems, and abuse of office on diverse dates between January 30, 2025 and August 25, 2025.

The suspect pleaded not guilty to charges levelled against him and was released on a bond of Ksh.1 million with two sureties, or a cash bail of Ksh.500,000, alongside two contact persons.

The matters are scheduled for mention on March 12, 2026.
