Another suspect has been charged in connection with the theft of more than Sh40 million from Afya Sacco Society Limited, deepening the ongoing probe into alleged fraud involving Front Office Service Activity (FOSA) accounts.
The suspect, Kelvin Muhati Amboye, appeared before Lukas Onyina at the Milimani Law Courts, where he pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Alleged Role in Sh40 Million Theft
According to the prosecution, Amboye is accused of stealing Sh40,169,165.69, the property of Afya Sacco Society Limited, through fraudulent transactions conducted via FOSA accounts.
The court heard that the alleged offences were committed on diverse dates between April 20, 2021, and January 31, 2025, at Afya Sacco offices in Nairobi, jointly with other suspects already before court.
Facing Multiple Criminal Charges
In addition to the main theft charge, Amboye is also accused of:
-
Conspiracy to defraud
-
Acquisition of proceeds of crime
-
Use of proceeds of crime amounting to Sh2,801,616
The prosecution alleges that the funds were unlawfully obtained and subsequently handled in a manner intended to conceal their criminal origin.
Case to Be Consolidated
After taking his plea, Chief Magistrate Onyina ordered that the matter be mentioned in January to allow for consolidation with the related Sh40 million Afya Sacco fraud case already pending before the court.
The consolidation is expected to bring together all suspects linked to the alleged fraudulent scheme for joint hearing and determination.
Expanding Afya Sacco Fraud Probe
Amboye’s arraignment comes days after three other suspects, including an Afya Sacco manager, were charged over the same Sh40 million fraud, underscoring the widening scope of investigations into the Sacco’s internal financial controls.
The case highlights growing scrutiny of FOSA operations within Saccos, amid concerns over insider fraud and weak oversight mechanisms.
