Kenya faces significant hurdles in combating insurance fraud.
A key challenge is the reluctance of some insurance companies to pursue criminal matters.
Additionally, delayed reporting of fraud cases complicates the reconstruction of crime scenes, hindering investigations.
The relocation of witnesses further impedes progress, making it difficult to gather crucial evidence.
Finally, late responses from certain service providers exacerbate these issues.
The Insurance Fraud Investigation Unit (IFIU), a specialised DCI unit established in 2011, works to address these pervasive challenges in partnership with the Insurance Regulatory Authority.
