Justice Mumbi Ngugi directed that a maisonette in Kasarani, a plot in Ruiru and four Toyota Prados be forfeited to the government immediately following a successful case by the Assets Recovery Agency. The judge noted that eight had an obligation to surrender the assets, once the Assets Recovery Agency established on a balance of probability that the assets were the proceeds of crime. They were served with suit papers twice through local dailies but the application by the Assets Recovery Agency was unopposed. According to evidence tabled before court, the agency established that Mwadime allegedly used a forged national identification card to open an account at Family Bank. She said that from the facts presented by the agency, the assets in question were purchased using funds stolen from NYS.
