Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested a suspect accused of issuing fake yellow fever certificates and other fake vaccination cards.
In a social media statement on Wednesday, the DCI claimed that detectives from the Transnational Organised Crime Unit (TOCU) had arrested the 28-year-old in the Claywork area of Kasarani. The suspect had been linked to yellow fever certificates issued to six Somali nationals who were being smuggled through Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
On August 8, airport authorities recovered the forged certificates from the foreigners, who were being smuggled to Libya through Egypt.
