On December 7, 2019, DPP Noordin Haji announced plans to arrest and charge the directors of Web Tribe Limited and Toddy Civil Engineering Limited over their alleged involvement in the loss of Sh1.1 billion at the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF).
Web Tribe Limited, which trades as Jambo Pay, and its directors Danson Njunji and Robert Muna are suspects in the NHIF corruption scandal. The company was hired to collect revenue on behalf of the health insurer and its managing duo was previously charged with fraudulent acquisition of public property in relation to their dealings with the NHIF on December 10, 2018.
They denied the charges and were released on a Sh3 million bond or Sh2 million cash bails. Toddy Civil Engineering Limited, another company named by Haji, has active contracts with the government worth a few million shillings shy of a billion for infrastructure projects in Thika, Meru, and the Coast.
The company's directors, Anthony Ng'ang'a and Rose Ng'ang'a, have won several contracts, including the construction of sewerage infrastructure in Meru town, which will cost Sh874 million. They have also been awarded a Sh49 million contract by Kiambu County for the construction of a storm water drainage system at Landless in Thika town.
Hardi Enterprises Limited, a sister company of Toddy Civil Engineering Limited, was paid Sh357 million between October 11, 2018, and March 13, 2019, by the county government for a garbage collection contract.
