Man Charged Charged With Sh7M Fraud In A Fake CT Scan Scandal

‪A Bungoma Court has slapped a CT Scan dealer with a Sh800,000 bond after being charged for supplying a fake equipment to a private hospital.‬

‪The accused, Kevin Omollo Omondi, had been contracted by Nabwala Hospital in Manyanja, Bungoma to supply the medical equipment in 2022 at a cost of Sh7 million.‬
