Court Issues Arrest Warrants in Sh28 Million SHA fraud Case

-

A Nairobi court has issued arrest warrants for 20 suspects and eight medical facilities over an alleged Sh28 million fraud linked to the Social Health Authority (SHA).

The move follows an application by prosecution counsel Joyce Olajo after the suspects failed to appear in court to take plea on charges approved by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).

According to the prosecution, the accused face multiple charges including 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.

In courts 

Court documents state that the suspects allegedly orchestrated a scheme to fraudulently register medical facilities under the SHA system and submit claims for medical procedures that were never conducted.

The fraudulent claims reportedly led to a loss of approximately Sh28 million in public funds.

Those facing arrest warrants include Ibrahim Rashid, Ahmed Mohamud Adan, Kamsia Hassan Kala, Hawa Alinoor Malo, Naima Sheikh Ali, Adhihakim Sheikh Ali and Adan Adikhaliq Abdullah.

Others are 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 DPP has also approved charges against eight medical facilities allegedly implicated in the scheme.

They include 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.

In a related development, Harun Liluma has already been arraigned before Senior Principal Magistrate Hon. Nyangena. He denied charges of conspiracy to defraud, unauthorised access to computer systems and abuse of office.

He was released on a Sh1 million bond with two sureties or an alternative cash bail of Sh500,000. The court also directed him to provide two contact persons.

The prosecution told the court that the offences were allegedly committed between January 30, 2025 and August 25, 2025 within Kenya.

The case will be mentioned on March 12, 2026, as the ODPP continues its crackdown on fraud in the health sector.
