Investigations into the January 15 Dusit attack in Nairobi continues as investigators unravel how Sh34.7 Million was allegedly used to fund the attack.
According to Anti-Terror Police probing the attack, slain terrorist Ali Salim Gichunge was the 'mastermind' of the attack that left 21 people dead and others injured.
He is said to have coordinated the terrorist attack.
Last week, Gichunge's mother Sakina Abdalla who hails from Isiolo county was charged with abetting the attack.
Sakina is accused of having failed to disclose information about his son that would have helped in preventing the attack.
In an affidavit filed in court by ATPU, Sakina said his son dissapeared from home in 2014.
Investigators allege that Sakina was in constant communication with his son and other people in Somalia.
According to detectives, the Dusit attack was largely planned in Somalia, Garissa and Isiolo counties before it was exuded in Nairobi.
Detectives privy to the investigation say that Sh34.7 Million was withdrawn from Diamond Trust Bank (DTB) and 'wired' to Jilib in Somalia to aid the attack.
Jilib is said to be the headquarters of Al-Shabaab.
The money according to detectives facilitated travel expenses and accomodation for the attackers.
According to affidavits filed in court by the anti terror police, a man-hunt for an individual who withdrew the bulk cash is still on.
Sophia Mbogo a Bank Manager with Diamond Trust Bank (DTB), Eastleigh Branch has since been charged with aiding the attack.
Appearing before the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee on Monday, Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Noordin Haji accused DTB of failing to report suspicious transcations.
Haji said all people who funded and facilitated the Dusit attack will be arrested and charged in court.
