Hard times for the Ngiritas as they now beg – Weekly Citizen

A case in which Phyllis Njeri Ngirita of the infamous National Youth Service scandal petitioned the court to allow her withdraw Sh3.4 million from her bank account to pay fees arrears will be heard on June 25.
According to documents filed in court, ever since her bank accounts were frozen by Assets Recovery Agency, she has failed to honour payments of fees.
The school in question charges Sh720,600 per term. According to Njeri, her money is being held at Kenya Commercial Bank Naivasha branch since mid last year. Since then, her survival depends on relatives and friends.
She wants variation in court orders issued on June 6 2018. The move has affected her children’s education, food, shelter, healthcare and movements, she says.

Njeri together with brother Jeremiah Gichini Ngirita and mother Lucy Wambui Ngirita, they are accused of receiving Sh361 million from NYS in a dubious manner.

Only properties worth Sh100 million have been traced in various towns. Among them, Kitale and in Naivasha. The KCB account operated by Njeri was paid Sh57 million in questionable circumstances.
The Ngirita’s are going through hard times. For instance, a vehicle Njeru used to take a Sh800,000 loan to maintain her family has been detained by the recovery agency.
Njeri used it as collateral to take Sh800, 000 loan aware it had been purchased using money obtained illegally from NYS which is a crime.
ARA has also frozen five parcels of land valued at Sh150 million in Nakuru, Naivasha and Trans-Nzoia.
The assets agency has a vehicles valued at Sh95 million that the family owned.
According to an investigator, five bank accounts they operated at KCB were frozen by bank top management as per Central Bank of Kenya rules. The bank fear was that if it would have allowed the family to operate them, they were likely to be blacklisted by CBK and even fined for engaging into money laundering activities.
It is on these grounds, many say that the petition will be thrown out aware that it is KCB is the one withholding funds to avoid money laundering
