On June 23, 2020, Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji ordered the arrest of 12 officials from the Kenya School of Law over alleged corruption.
The officials are accused of making illegal payments amounting to Ksh198,441,030 to companies owned by employees of the Kenya School of Law.
According to the DPP, the payments were made for goods and services not supplied, and the companies involved include Ademwa Enterprises, Alfranc Investments, Deskench Investments, Firmline Company, Frigoya Investments, and Ngoya Cosmetics.
The DPP named the 12 suspects, including Amos Kabue Mwangi, Professor Morris Kiwinda Mbondenyi, Frank Kackson Were, Hudson Amwai Kwigado, Achiro Nobert Gondi, Ephrain Thuku Ngumi, Paul Lovi Andenga, Fridah Ngoya Wanda, Francis Mwaki Lwegado, Alfred Murange Lwigado, Dennis Sam Achiro, and Kenneth Ochieng.
The DPP stated that he had 'sufficient evidence to support charges under the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Acts, 2003.'
The arrest order comes after the DPP returned the file to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) thrice, with the EACC resubmitting the report on June 9, 2020.
