The High Court has thrown out an application by NYS fraud suspect Phyllis Njeri Ngirita in which she was seeking to be allowed to withdraw Ksh700, 000 from her KCB account.
Justice Mumbi Ngugi ruled that Ngirita attempted to hoodwink the court into believing that she was completely unable to provide for her family, hence she should be allowed to withdraw the said-money from her bank account at Gilgil.
Ngirita had earlier told the court that the freeze order slapped on her bank accounts made life unbearable for her, including paralysing her son’s education.
Justice Mumbi Ngugi said her argument wasn’t sufficient enough to move the court into allowing her access the monies believed to have been gotten through fraudulent means.
In 2018, cash stored in bank accounts and assets worth millions of shillings belonging to Phyllis Ngirita, her sister, brother and mother were frozen by the courts after the four were implicated in the NYS corruption scandal.
According to the Prosecution, the Ngiritas — Phyllis Ngirita, Ann Ngirita (sister), Lucy Ngirita (mother) and Jeremiah Ngirita (brother) — received at least Ksh400 million from the NYS without supplying any goods or services.
