The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Renson Ingonga has approved criminal charges against several individuals and health facilities for allegedly fraudulent registration and payment claims at the Social Health Authority (SHA).
In a statement dated February 25, 2026, Ingonga said it had received and reviewed investigation files forwarded by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) between January 28 and February 24, 2026, before directing that charges be preferred.
The cases relate to suspected fraudulent registration of health facilities under the SHA scheme and irregular payments made to the institutions.
According to the DPP, directors and proprietors of several health facilities will face charges ranging from conspiracy to defraud, obtaining money by false pretences, operating unlicensed health facilities, and acquisition of proceeds of crime.
The affected facilities include Danaba Care Hospital, Kamishawa Medical Centre, Kaafi Nursing Home, Mama Nerebel Nursing Home, Alati Nursing Home, Julun Nursing Home, Adfaal Kids Care Medical Centre and Dimtu Nursing Home Limited.

Directors and proprietors linked to the facilities have been variously charged under the Penal Code, the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Act, the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act, and the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act.
A staff member of the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC), Harun Liluma, will also face multiple charges in connection with the alleged scheme.
The charges against him include unauthorised access to a computer system, abuse of office, conspiracy to defraud and computer fraud.
The DPP alleges that Liluma used his position at the regulatory body to facilitate fraudulent registration processes and payments to some of the implicated facilities.
"The decision to charge followed a comprehensive review of the evidence submitted by investigators," the DPP stated.
