Former KSL Director In Sh198M Tender Fraud
In a corruption case involving the former deputy director of the Kenya School of Law (KSL), Prof. Morris Kiwinda, and eleven other KSL employees, the prosecution called the 12th and 13th witnesses today.
The charges stemmed from a scheme to defraud the law school by paying Ksh198.4 million for items that were never delivered. Two officials from the Registration of Persons and the Registrar of Companies were among the witnesses.
A Nairobi Anti-Corruption Court was informed by a registration of firms officer that he had received a letter from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) asking for information about sixteen different firms.
Following examination, he informed the court that the accused individuals were connected to Ademwa Enterprise, Frigoya Investments, Ngoya Cosmetic and Beauty, and Alfranc Investment.
Conversely, a Registration of Persons officer said that he was given a list of national identification numbers by the EACC and that he was required to find the names that went with the numbers. He completed the task and presented the results in court.
The defendants include Amos Kabue Mwangi, an assistant director of finance and administration; Frank Were, a finance manager; Hudson Amwai; Ephraim Thuku; Paul Lovi; Fridah Ngoya; and Kennedy Ochieng. Prof. Morris Kiwinda is the deputy director.
Six businesses, including Ademwa Enterprise, Frigoya Investments, Ngoya Cosmetic and Beauty, and Alfranc Investment, connected to senior KSL personnel, were also accused of accepting money for products that were never delivered. The accused individuals reportedly planned to carry out the act between September 30, 2014, and March 15, 2018.
