A couple have been arraigned in court over their alleged involvement in a fraudulent scheme which resulted in the misappropriation of Ksh22 million from a state-owned corporation.
According to reports, the former assistant accountant at the corporation allegedly masterminded the scheme, colluded with her spouse and a third party before she resigned from her position.
“The husband and wife, along with a third accomplice, were arraigned for their alleged involvement in a scheme that led to the misappropriation of Ksh22,151,983 from the National Oil Corporation of Kenya. Their arrest followed a formal complaint by the corporation regarding the theft and misappropriation of substantial public funds,” the DCI stated.
DCI also released that the husband had established multiple companies that allegedly received payments for services that were never delivered.
According to reports, to conceal the link between the payments and her spouse’s businesses, the assistant accountant reportedly processed the transactions using authentic documents from legitimate contractors.
The ruling is therefore scheduled for February 4, 2026.
