Abdul Galgalo Munishram
NHIF CEO Geoffrey Gitau Mwangi and acting Finance Director Wilbert Kiplangat Kurgat were released on November 28 by Anti-Corruption Court Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi. The court granted them a Sh1 million bond each, along with a surety of a similar amount, about the multi-billion NHIF scandal. An investigation has revealed that Abdul Galgalo Munishram, an ally of Aden Duale, is allegedly involved in the NHIF scandal. The document title suggests that Munishram played a significant role in the scandal.
On November 28, the Anti-Corruption Court Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi released NHIF CEO Geoffrey Gitau Mwangi and acting Finance Director Wilbert Kiplangat Kurgat on a Sh1 million bond each and a surety of a similar amount over the multi-billion NHIF scandal.
Interestingly, the duo were arrested and charged solely for conspiracy to defeat justice and disobedience of a lawful order; no other charges have been pressed against them. This begs the question: Who stole close to Sh2 billion in shillings from NHIF?
Tucked innocently at number 10 (Roman x) in a list released by DPP Noordin Haji is one Abdul Galgalo Munishram, Director of Messer’s Munshiram International Business System, a software development and consultancy company specializing in payment systems, management systems, card-based systems, and systems integrations, contracted by NHIF to steer an ambitious plan to roll out a fully biometric system, which would take three years to deploy fully.
While announcing the plan, the former CEO, Geoffrey Mwangi, who is now facing graft charges, revealed that NHIF had already registered all civil servants in a database that the biometric system would refer to and fitted 1,370 hospitals with biometric kits in a test pilot program.
