Mike Julius Kingoo Muia, a police officer attached at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations headquarters, had been accused of making sexual overtures towards Ann Ngirita who is accused of siphoning NYS a whopping Sh59 million after 'supplying air' to the entity.

Jeremiah Ngirita, Ann's brother, in an affidavit, accused Muia of secluding Ann during the probing where he made sexual manoeuvres.

However, in a response, Muia said the claims are meant to derail the probe.

“Jeremiah Gichina Ngirita’s main intention is to delay the prosecution of this matter and divert attention from the main issues," Muia said.

He added: “The only time I met Ann Wambere Wanjiku Ngirita was on May 21, 2018 at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations when I recorded her statement under inquiry in the presence of four other police officers amongst them two female officers,”
