The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has arrested four individuals in connection with an ongoing investigation into significant financial mismanagement at the Kenya Union of Savings & Credit Cooperatives (KUSCCO), where billions of shillings were reportedly embezzled.
The suspects, identified as George Magutu Mwangi, Mercy Muthoni Njeru, George Ochola Owino, and Jackline Pauline Atieno Omolo, will remain in custody until bail terms are determined on Tuesday, February 18, 2025.
According to the DCI's statement on X, the quartet has been arraigned at the Milimani Law Courts, facing multiple charges including conspiracy to defraud, stealing by directors or officers of companies, and making a false document, all in violation of various sections of the Penal Code.
As the four await their next court appearance, summons have been issued for former KUSCCO Managing Director George Otieno Ototo, who is required to appear in court for plea taking on the same day as his co-accused.
The DCI has reiterated its commitment to thoroughly investigating the case, stating, “DCI detectives remain fervent as they continue to undertake multi-faceted investigations geared towards ensuring that all perpetrators of the malfeasance that took place at the Sacco family union are brought to book,” the DCI added.
