The Kenyan government, in collaboration with the Association of Kenya Insurers (AKI) and other agencies, has launched a nationwide crackdown on fake motor insurance certificates. This initiative aims to combat widespread fraud that exposes motorists to significant risks and undermines the integrity of the insurance sector.

• A recent crackdown revealed 44 cases of forged motor insurance certificates across Central and Coast regions within the past year.
• The multi-agency team includes the Traffic Police Department, the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA), and the Insurance Fraud Investigation Unit.
• Offenders have faced fines ranging from Ksh15,000 to Ksh200,000 or prison terms up to two years for using fraudulent insurance documents.
• Motorists are urged to verify their insurance authenticity via *352# or the Bima Yangu App to avoid unauthorized agents.
