<\/div>The four are being held at the JKIA police station. <\/strong>[Courtesy]\n<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n A Nairobi-based US businessman and his three employees have been taken into custody for allegedly issuing fake Covid-19 certificates to travellers at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.\n<\/p>\n This comes weeks since the Middle East issued Kenya with a red notice after some travellers from Kenya were found in possession of fake Covid-19 Certificates. <\/p>\n The owner of Checkup Medical Center, Dr Moka Lantun was arrested at his business premises at around midday by officers allegedly from the Ministry of Health.\n<\/p>\n While confirming their arrests, Dr Moka told The Standard <\/em>that they were being held at JKIA\u00a0Police Station, awaiting arraignment on Thursday, January 25 morning.<\/p>\n \u201cMinistry of Health officials led by one Patrick came to our premises at mid-morning. They have not shown us any documentation but went through our files and data, combing through every part of the facility,\u201d Dr Moka said in a phone interview.\n<\/p>\n Dr Moka also said that on December 21, 2021, they had been given a letter by the Ministry of Health suspending the activities at the facility.\n<\/p>\n On Thursday, January 13, the facility suspended its activities temporarily as was ordered by the Ministry but says they moved to court to challenge the suspension. <\/p>\n The case is ongoing.\n<\/p>\n A day later, the Acting Director-General at the Ministry, Patrick Amoth, wrote to Checkups and banned them from issuing trusted travel codes for travellers and suspended Covid-19 testing at the facility for three months.\n<\/p>\n The reason, according to Amoth\u2019s letter dated January 14, was faults and errors noted by officers from Afya House who had inspected the premises prior.\n<\/p>\n The ministry also warned that the facility was subject to an audit that would check whether the faults identified had been corrected.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Source: The Standard Media Kenya<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The four are being held at the JKIA police station.
