The Court has issued a warrant of arrest against Josephine Kabura after she failed to appear before it to answer to money laundering charges.
Kabura is a key suspect in National Youth Service money laundering scandal where together with others (10) she is required to answer to money laundering charged over the 791 million shillings National Youth Service (NYS).
The warrant was issued by Nairobi Chief Magistrate Daniel Ogembo after Kabura failed to appear in court for the mention of the case where she is accused of money laundering.
“The accused must have their day in court, they are taking us round and round with similar applications. They must answer to the charges,” the prosecution submitted.
On June 29th, 2016, High Court Judge George Onguto declined to stop their prosecution and directed that they argue their matter in the trail court.
“I do not hold the view that the DPP can be faulted. I am not convinced that the charge as drafted is a revelation of a DPP who did not appreciate the offense. Quite the contrary he did,” Justice Onguto ruled.
