On Thursday, KNH drafted a letter to the court requesting that she be excused from attending the court session.
The probe comes after details emerged of the luxurious stay of Ms Omollo in the hospital's penthouse.
Additionally, there have been fears that she (the PS) is being protected from prison life by powerful colleagues.
The detectives' investigations also follow queries raised by a section of Members of Parliament who noted that Ms Omollo "needs to join her colleagues at Lang'ata Women's Prison."
According to the Medical specialists who have handled the PS, Ms Omollo is noted to be generally healthy apart from her complaining of stomach ailment.
She was remanded 10 days ago over the Ksh9 billion scandal at the National Youth Service (NYS) but was rushed to hospital straight from the courtroom after falling ill and fainting.
A report on Thursday revealed how the PS, who is in the VIP section of KNH, has been living in considerably high-end life as her co-accused languish in jail.
