The Ngirita family on Wednesday failed to prove how it got tenders at the National Youth Service.
The money in the banks of the accused suspects is now subject to forfeiture to the government after the family failed to explain how it was acquired.
The family, Phyllis Ngirita, Lucy Wambui and Jeremiah Gichina risk losing the millions in their accounts after a directive from the Assets Recovery Agency.
The family has been put to task to explain how it got a contract with NYS, whether it supplied goods and paid taxes to the government as required by the law. The family was also asked to provide any license to prove that the money the government is targeting was acquired through open channels.
The investigator in the case, Mr Fredrick Musyoki has insisted that it is clear the family used dubious means to acquire the wealth because there are no records to show any kind of business they did with NYS.
“The respondents failed to produce tangible evidence of the purported legitimate agricultural activities or legitimate business of supply of goods,” Mr Musyoki said, as quoted by Daily Nation.
The directive came after Phyllis told the court that she had supplied NYS with English Potatoes, Onions, Watermelons, Cabbages, Green grams and other items worth Sh5.8 million in 2014. However, it emerged that there are no records to prove the claims and the Sh32,874,670 difference remained unexplained.
The family also claimed that it has been supplying the government with goods for more than 20 years.
