On June 23, 2020, the Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji ordered the arrest of twelve officials, including former Kenya School of Law Deputy Director Morris Kiwinda, for their alleged involvement in a Sh198 million fraud.
According to the prosecution, investigators established that the fraud was executed by bank signatories to the Kenya School of Law accounts who would sign to effect payment to different entities.
The officials, who include current and former employees of the Kenya School of Law, are accused of colluding to have the money paid out to companies owned by some of the senior employees at the school.
"The business entities were not prequalified to supply any goods and indeed never supplied any goods or services to the Kenya School of Law," Haji said in a statement to newsrooms.
Already, Mr. Kiwindi, Amos Kabue Mwangi, Frank Kackson Were, Hudson Amwai Lwigado, Achiro Nobert Gondi, Paul Lovi Andenga, Fridah Ngoya Wanda, Alfred Murange Lwigado, Dennis Sam Achiro, and Kenneth Ochieng have been arrested.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has asked the remaining officials to present themselves to the Integrity Centre in Nairobi.
