Wambugu Muchiri & Company Advocates is under criminal investigation for attempted insurance fraud, after allegedly filing claims for fake accident victims.
The matter relates to a minor road accident that occured on 28th July 2025 along Limuru Road involving a Toyota Matatu, registration KBV 043P, in which three passengers sustained minor injuries, according to official police reports.
Despite this, the law firm reportedly filed claims asserting that 10 passengers had suffered varying degrees of injuries, listing the following as alleged victims:
Dick Davis Akello, Rose Kadogo Makhana, Margret Wanjiku Kahoro, Mary Nyambura Irungu, Scholastica Dibango, Eshibachi Michael Obuchere, Silas Nalanya, John Limuli, Jane Rose Mutegi, and Antony Gachoka Kuria.
Investigations by AMACO Insurance Company ltd revealed that the claims were allegedly supported by fake P3 forms and police abstracts. AMACO subsequently wrote to the Base Commander of Gigiri Police Station on 6th January 2026 seeking verification of the documents.
In a response dated 7th January 2026, the Base Commander stated:
“Following our review and verification, we hereby formally inform you that the police abstract and P3 form brought to our office by your representative are forged documents and did not originate from Gigiri Traffic Base. We have confirmed that the said documents are not genuine and are not traceable to our records. Kindly note that we disassociate ourselves entirely from the said documents and any claims arising from them.”
After the Base Commander disowned the documents, AMACO reported the matter to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). The lawyer involved was arrested but later released under circumstances that remain unclear.
Further fraudulent matters are being sorted across various files for follow-up and further action.
The case has raised serious concerns about insurance fraud, document forgery, and accountability within the legal profession, and investigations are ongoing.
