A former Kenya University (KU) official has been convicted for office misuse or money laundering while serving at the Institution.
The ruling was delivered by a Nairobi Anti-Corruption Court, who sentenced him to 14 years in prison or pay fine of Ksh4,922,000 in connection with a fraudulent payment for failure to deliver wheat flour worth Ksh288,000.
He was fined Ksh900,000 and served a term of seven years in prison with an additional mandatory fine of Ksh1,022,000 and Ksh3,000,000 for a money laundering case or a seven-year term.
It was proved that between August 20 and September 30, 2019, the accused was involved in fraudulent activities while serving as the in-charge of Central Food Stores at Kenyatta University.
During the period, he improperly certified the delivery of 200 bales of wheat flour worth ksh280,000 which were never delivered by signing Verification Certificate Serial Number 56888 for Metnetwork Solutions according to the reports.
The prosecution, therefore, called three witnesses, in through their confessions, he was found guilty of the case.
