A university student who stole Sh1.1 million from the Ministry of Education's account will be held for 10 days.
This is after the Directorate of Criminal Investigations detectives asked the court to grant them the days to complete investigations.
Giddion Kibet Langat, a student from Kericho, allegedly redirected Sh1,173,352 intended for the capitation of Menet Primary School in Bomet County to his personal account last week.
The fraudulent transfer occurred on January 22, 2025, when the funds meant to support the primary school's educational program were diverted from the Ministry of Education's allocation to Langat's account held at the National Bank of Kenya's Nandi Hills branch.
