After failing to attend a court date for the sixth time on Friday June 10, a warrant of arrest was issued against two suspects who were allegedly involved in the Ksh 791 million NYS scandal.
The two Patrick Ogolla and Jedida Wangari failed to appear in court without explanation.
Two other suspects, Ben Gethi and Josphine Kabura, are being charged alongside the two. The prosecution claimed Gethi and Kabura's chain of companies benefitted from the NYS scandal.
Ben Gethi and Josephine Kabura have a pending money laundering case in the court since February but the case has not been heard with claims emerging that powerful cartels are interfering with the case.
According to the prosecutor, Mr Gitonga Muranga, there have been efforts to derail the case.
"The matter has been delayed since February after the case was registered and a formality objection raised," Gitonga said.
Magistrate Martha Mutuku directed the parties to appear in court on Monday for "further directions."
