Abdul Galgalo Munishram
According to multiple sources, Mr. Abdul Galgalo Munishram is an alleged mastermind of a multi-billion scam linked to the NHIF.
The revelations come after On November 28, the Kenyan Anti-Corruption Court Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi acquitted 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.
This was so disturbing because the two had been arrested and charged solely for conspiracy to defeat justice and disobedience of a lawful order. Still, no other charges were pressed against them.
As the country continued to guess who had defrauded Kenyans of billions of shillings. Mr. Abdul Galgalo Munishram was eating with a big spoon and smiling abroad after stealing the said billions. He failed to respond to our calls in the same scandal before our time of publishing, as his phone went unanswered.
His theft had led to the innocent arrest of people of goodwill.
Funny enough, Mr. Galgalo had been identified by the DPP as the mastermind of the said fraud but remained untouchable. Thanks to his fraud. According to the Kenyan DPP Noordin Haji, 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 integration, was 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, besides fitting 1,370 hospitals with biometric kits in a test pilot program.
Mwangi said that ideally Kenyans would not be required to produce their NHIF card at even the remotest of health centers in order to be treated; all they had to do was place a finger on a machine like we did during the 2017 general election in order to access affordable health services. Sounds good and easy, right? Well, it should have been!
To make things worse, just like it happened with NYS, cartels were already angling to get this lucrative tender. That’s how billionaire businessman Abdul Galgalo Munishram, Aden Duale’s longtime business partner, came into the picture. A credible source reveals that Abdul Galgalo was introduced to a senior Rift Valley politician at an exclusive residence in Karen suburbs.
What should have been a genuine business deal metamorphosed into a multi-billion-dollar scandal after ‘powerful’ people in government demanded Sh400 million from Abdul Galgalo. The businessman agreed, but on the condition that NHIF make advance payments to facilitate the importation of the biometrics.
Shockingly, despite NHIF making full payments for the supply and installation of the biometrics across the country, only four hospitals were fitted. Three years down the line, Abdul Galgalo disappeared in thin air after being prodded severally by the CEO to honor the tender and make the supplies.
Furthermore, Geoffrey Mwangi and his acting Finance Director, Wilbert Kiplangat Kurgat, were wrongly arrested and arraigned
