The NHIF is reported to have lost Sh93 million after it emerged that a 23 acre parcel of land it claimed to have bought in 2002 actually belongs to a group from the Maasai community.
As an NHIF member, I feel cheated on this scheme. Geoffrey Mwangi and Wilbert Kurgat should be squeezed hard to give the truth. Hatutaki mchezo na pesa yetu! pic.twitter.com/OwNA4JniRi

Others were quick to express their fear of Geoffrey Mwangi walking home freely even after the reveal and their arrest which would be a repeat of judiciary disappointment to Kenyans.
The PR arrest of Geoffrey Mwangi will be short-lived. Billions of money contributed by the overtaxed citizens and later stolen at NHIF is of mind-boggling proportions! This man will be free in the streets of Nairobi soon!
