The case had been filed by the Assets Recovery Authority (ARA) to repossess property owned by National Youth Service (NYS) scandal suspects Phyllis Ngirita, Lucy Ngirita and Jeremiah Ngirita.
“Upon investigating the bank statements and documents concerning the accounts, the agency established that the three and their business entities and associates received funds fraudulently from NYS split in several transactions,” ARA said.
The agency further argued: “Investigations revealed that Phyllis was paid by NYS directly to her personal account contrary to procedure. This is a clear case of fraud as there is no evidence of goods or services procured by NYS directly from Phyllis.”
ARA also filed a similar application against James Thuita Nderitu, Flagstone Merchants Limited, Firstling Supplies, Excella Supplies Limited, Betty Omondi, Flagstone Co. ltd and Interscope Tech. Services.
