On June 9, 2020, the Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji returned a file to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) after finding gaps in the investigation into allegations of procurement fraud at the Kenya School of Law.
After resubmitting the report, the EACC found that officials from the Kenya School of Law had made illegal payments amounting to Ksh198,441,030 to companies owned by employees of the institution.
According to the DPP, the payments were made for goods and services not supplied. The companies involved include Ademwa Enterprises, Alfranc Investments, Deskench Investments, Firmline Company, Frigoya Investments, and Ngoya Cosmetics.
The DPP named twelve suspects, including Amos Kabue Mwangi, Asst Director of Finance & Administration, KSL, and Hudson Amwai Kwigado, Accountant, KSL and Proprietor Ademwa Entreprises.
“I direct that the above suspects be apprehended and arraigned in court to face various charges under the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, 2003,” the DPP said in a statement.
