On Monday, the magistrate directed the hearing of preliminary objection applications to be conducted on June 24. Two suspects in the NYS money laundering case will now be arrested after they failed to appear in court for the mention of their case on Monday. In their objection, the suspects are challenging the trial court's jurisdiction in handling the matter. The DPP, through state counsel Gitonga Muranga, accused the defense of delaying the matter since February after the case was registered and preliminary objection raised. The suspects are alleged to have used the stolen Sh791 million to buy property "while knowing that the said money was proceeds from crime".
