Published on June 24, 2020, six officials of the Kenya School of Law, who were charged with conspiracy to defraud the institution of Ksh 198 million for goods not supplied, have been released on bond.
The officials, including the institution's Deputy Director/CEO Prof. Morris Kiwinda, were denied the charges before Anti-corruption chief magistrate Lawrence Mugambi.
They were released on bond ranging from Ksh 3 million to Ksh 5 million each, with some of them facing additional charges of fraudulently making payments from public revenue.
The case will be mentioned on June 8, 2020.
The Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji had ordered the arrest and prosecution of the officials over the payments, which were allegedly made to entities that were not pre-qualified suppliers.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) had arrested eight individuals in connection with the case, and the EACC CEO Twalib Mbarak had directed some of the suspects to present themselves at the Integrity Center.
Meanwhile, the EACC has reported significant progress in the fight against corruption, with 188 graft cases finalized in court since 2014, resulting in 130 convictions.
