The High Court declared that a ruling on whether to grant bail to NYS scandal suspects would be made on June 19.
This is after NYS Director-General Richard Ndubai, suspended Principal Secretary Lilian Omollo and other suspects made applications to have bail granted.
Earlier, the court had ruled that the suspects will remain behind bars until the end of the trial in the Sh9 billion scandal.
The prosecution has opposed the bail application stating that the suspects might interfere with witnesses in the case.
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) noted that many witnesses in the case were Ndubai's juniors at NYS and
"Majority of the witnesses set to testify in the cases against the accused person were his juniors who worked were under him, hence a very high likelihood of interference and intimidation of the witnesses," the DPP stated.
On her part, PS Omollo, argued that Judge Douglas Ogoti of the Anti-corruption Court failed to consider their arguments when ordering the extension of their stay in remand.
Omollo is currently admitted at the Kenyatta National Hospital Private wing.
