Detectives drawn from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Thursday, February 13, arrested four suspects believed to be part of the multi-billion scandal at the Kenya Union of Savings and Credit Co-operatives (KUSCCO).
According to the DCI officers, three of the suspects, who now face several charges, including conspiracy to defraud, were arrested in different areas within Nairobi County, while the fourth suspect was cornered in Nyeri County. Besides conspiracy to defraud, the suspects also face other charges, such as theft allegedly committed by the directors and officers of companies, which is contrary to Section 282 of the Penal Code, and making false documents.
Their arrest comes two days after the Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, assured that the National Police Service (NPS) would leave no stone unturned in investigating the matter.
