A Nairobi family faces a two-month delay in burying their relative, Antony, after he fraudulently used his brother's identity to access medical care at Mbagathi Hospital under the Social Health Authority (SHA). This deception led to a fraud investigation, stalling the issuance of a correct death certificate.

• The deceased, Antony, was admitted on November 7, 2025, and died shortly after, with a death certificate mistakenly issued in the name of his living brother.
• Mbagathi Hospital administrator Alex Irungu flagged the case as fraudulent, and a court application related to the impersonation was dismissed, leaving the family in limbo.
• Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale warned that such identity fraud under the Social Health Insurance Act, 2023, carries severe legal consequences, including prosecution and potential asset recovery.

The DCI has arrested an accountant suspected of orchestrating an Ksh 16 million fraud at a SACCO. This arrest follows an earlier apprehension of a businessman linked to the scheme.

• Total fraudulent transactions amounted to Ksh 16,013,166.
• The suspect, a former accountant, allegedly authorized 58 fraudulent cheque payments from members' accounts in collusion with external accomplices.
• The arrest comes amidst increased scrutiny of SACCO governance, with a fresh inquiry ordered into the Kenya Union of Savings and Credit Cooperatives (KUSCCO).

Detectives from the Banking Fraud Investigation Unit (BFIU) have uncovered a cheque fraud scheme, leading to a Sacco losing over Sh16 million. A former Sacco accountant has been arrested in connection with the elaborate scam.

• Funds were deposited into accounts linked to a businessman and other unsuspecting Sacco members.
• The fraud was carried out in phases, with an initial loss of Sh6.8 million before an additional Sh9.1 million was siphoned off.
