On June 23, 2020, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji approved charges against 12 employees of the Kenya School of Law for their alleged involvement in a Ksh198 million fraud.
The probe by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) concluded that the accused benefited from the funds for goods and services that were never delivered.
According to the DPP, the multi-million fraud was executed by bank signatories to the Kenya School of Law accounts who were senior employees of the institution's Finance Department.
Those facing arrests under the anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, 2003 include Finance Manager Frank Kackson Were, accountant Hudson Amwai, and several other senior employees.
The listed companies, which allegedly received the proceeds, include Infranc Investments, Deskench Investments, Firmline Company, Frigoya Investments, Ngoya Cosmetics, and Ademwa Enterprises.
“Upon completion of the investigations, the EACC on May 17, 2029 forwarded the investigation file and the report with recommendations that the suspects be charged with various offenses,” the DPP said.
