Abdirashid Ismail Said skipped a court hearing after being accused of orchestrating a medical fraud scheme. Court filings indicate that one agency alone received more than KSh 594 million ($4.6 million) based on allegedly falsified records. Investigators further found nearly KSh 129 million ($1 million) in claims linked to clients who denied receiving any services. That was alongside over KSh 38 million ($300,000) in overbilling and more than KSh 749 million ($5.8 million) in claims that were either undocumented or fraudulently documented. Records show Said was previously convicted of Medicaid fraud in 2022, ordered to repay KSh 9.9 million ($77,000), and permanently barred from working with Medicaid-funded organisations.
