If you are running a kiosk and your employee pays a supplier "59 million" who is to blame? The payer or the payee?

That's even easier because he does not have to explain that. The one who needs to explain is the one doing the paying. What was he paying for? It's not unusual to be paid for doing nothing. Many employers in Kenya pay salaries to employees who do nothing but are too expensive to dispense of.

And a lawyer will tell you that that complicates the case because an accused person cannot be a credible witness. Plus they may demand a deal to rat on the other. This came up over a drink with a lawyer friend who told me this judiciary will sweat over this case. Americans offer a reduced jail term of free the small fish to entice them to testify against the big fish but we have only small fishes in this NYS saga.

Who said any of the accused is a witness? Those who colluded to defraud the county are in jail others on the run but its a matter of time. An accused person can be witness if they confess to crime. There are other ways of catching a thief in this technology day and age, you leave your digital prints allover. Phones, txts, base stations, emails, login information, bank account records, purchases, etcetera etcetera

Do not comment on the US system if you know nothing about it. There are numerous cases of people who colluded to the defraud the gov that you can read about . Watch how Paul Manafort will end up

In the meantime, a delegation of 8 Zambian Mpigs are in Kenya to learn how to fight corruption.

One hundred and thirteen accounts held in 13 banks have been frozen as detectives zero in the NYS multibillion-shilling scandal.....


ARA also assured the court the orders sought if granted will not in anyway prejudice the suspects and will allow fair administration of justice and the rule of law.

The banks where the accounts are held include Barclays bank, Equity, KCB, Cooperative bank, Diamond trust, Guaranty trust bank, Eco bank, Family bank, National bank, NIC bank, Unitas sacco microfinance bank, Credit bank, CFC Stanbic bank, Consolidated bank, HFC bank and I&M bank.

At DTB, accounts include Millachi Africa Ltd, Ajaa Olubayi & Co, Zeighan enterprises, Jelly Merchants, Phoenix Capital Ltd, Clinique investment limited, Jackline Mutsotso and Advance quick fix.

Siblings in the Ngirita family who are part of the 43 suspects implicated in the NYS scandal have claimed they were framed by an officer investigating the case.

The magistrate gave police officer Fredrick Musyoki orders to scrutinise account opening documents, statements of account since their inception to date, cheques, cash deposits and RTGS transfers covering the period.

The magistrate issued the freeze order which will be in place for six months.

The magistrate interestingly did not write his or her full name on the order and instead opted to append a signature.

Anti-corruption court Magistrate Douglas Ogoti has directed prison authorities to escort Ann Ngirita's mother to Kenyatta National Hospital for treatment.

This was after Lucy Wambui Ngirita informed the court that she was unwell and required special treatment.

Through lawyer Cliff Ombeta, Wambui said she has been unwell, and that the treatment that she is getting at the remand is not enough.

Lucy becomes the second accused person in the NYS corruption case to be taken to the facility after falling sick in court.

On the night of May 29, Public Service PS Lillian Omollo was rushed to KNH after she fainted.

She is still admitted to the facility although questions have emerged over her prolonged stay there.

On Sunday, the DCI enrolled the services of a private doctor to evaluate her condition to ascertain if she was still unwell

And then you'll do what? The number will be determined after the movement of the money is well drawn. Some of the accounts could have nothing. But...the banks listed could be fined heavily if they violated any rules.

Which is what?
