Twelve employees from the National Intelligence Services' (NIS) Njiwa Sacco were charged in connection with the embezzlement of Ksh 160 million.
The prosecution filed a 57-page charge sheet against the accused, which included 232 accusations. The charges include, among other things, abuse of office, conspiracy to defraud, and stealing by servant forgery.
The charges were disputed by the twelve cops through their lawyer, Danstan Omari, on the grounds that the charge sheet was flawed.
The court stated that there are no limits laid out in the number of counts the prosecution must place in a charge sheet while dismissing an application by the twelve employees who are due to accept a plea over the loss of Ksh.160 million from the savings organization.
Amos Kipchumba, the internal auditor, Violet Wali, the loans manager, Caren Langat. And system analysts Hamisi Zaunga and Miriam Nthenya are among the twelve.
Others include named Nicodemus Osiemo, Eric Rono of Sure-step Systems, Moses Ntoinya, a NIS officer who reportedly conspired with Sacco personnel to siphon funds, Tony Wabomba, a former Njiwa Sacco society employee, Karen Jepkemboi, Daniel Mweteri, and Sammy Afubwa.
