By SAM KIPLAGATMore by this AuthorThe High Court on Wednesday ordered forfeiture to the State of about Sh33 million in the bank accounts of former Youth and Gender Principal Secretary Lilian Omollo be forfeited to the government. Justice Mumbi Ngugi ruled that the former PS, a suspect in the National Youth Service (NYS) fraud cases, failed to explain the source of the funds believed to be proceeds of crime. "The respondents have millions of funds in their accounts and this court has found they are unable to show a legitimate source," Judge Ngugi said. Ms Omollo further cited gratuity that she said was paid after she left the New Partnership for Africa's Development (Nepad) in 2015. But ARA, through Mohamed Adow, said the agency gave Ms Omollo time to explain how she made the money but that her explanation was unsatisfactory.
