Another suspect in the National Youth Service Sh486 million scandal has been freed from remand.
Lucy Ngirita, the mother of four key suspects was released on Monday after the immigration department solved her passport glitch.
Ngirita posted Sh1 million bail and surrendered a vehicle as required by the court.
However, her children, Ann Wanjiku, Phyllis Njeri, Jeremiah Gichini and his wife Catherine Mwai alongside 16 people are still in remand.
The court is yet to begin the verification of their sureties.
In accordance with the DDP directive, the DCI is yet to scrutinize their sureties.
Out of the 48 suspects charged in connection with the scandal, 31 have been freed on bail.
According to Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji the sureties should be scrutinized fully to ensure no corruption money was used to post bail.
PS Lillian Omollo, former NYS director general Richard Ndubai, former acting director of finance Wellington Lubira, former head of accounts at the Youth ministry Sammy Mbugua are among the key suspects who were released.
