Kabwata Police Station arrested two individuals for impersonation, forgery, and uttering false documents. Dr. Prince Kanyinda of the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) reported that individuals were falsely presenting themselves as UTH Medical Doctors.
The suspects, Mr. Amon Muchosa, a Zimbabwean national, and Ms. Chibwe Kansumba, an Environmental Health Officer, have been prescribing NHIMA pre-authorization services and expensive drugs to patients since 2017. UTH management, prompted by NHIMA, identified the impostors and alerted the police.
The suspects are now in custody. The police commend UTH and NHIMA for their vigilance and urge the public to report any suspicious activities.
