BY NT REPORTER.
National Youth Service (NYS) suspect key suspect Ben Gethi’s sister, Jedidah Wangari has finally been charged in connection with over 791 million shillings tender scam.
Jedidiah showed up in court on Monday and pleaded not guilty to one count and was released on bail.
Wangari appeared in court after several warrants of arrest to appear in court were issued.
The prosecution had allege that Wangari is out of the country therefore making it difficult for the prosecution to serve her with the summons to appear in court.
However the court objected to the prosecution argument saying that the state has the machinery to arrest the suspect and avail her in court.
In the case businessman Ben Gethi, Josephine Kabura and eight others are out on cash bails of 300,000 Shillings or an alternative bond of 1 million Shillings after they pleaded not guilty to 15 counts relating to transactions the prosecution says involved the stolen funds.
Some of the suspects have appeared before Parliament Public Account committee (PAC) to shed more light on the matter.
