When Godwins Agutu appeared on NTV's investigative expose on the alleged Covid-19 scandal in July, his eloquence and charisma won the hearts of many. “NAAC receives funding in aid of its operation and has full-time staff, employees on contract and researchers, among others,” the site reads. On Thursday, DCI chief George Kinoti announced that Agutu alongside two others — Alex Mutua and Ken Kimathi — had been arrested on Wednesday evening for fraud. In 2017, he was linked to the hacking of KRA systems and was said to have wired off Sh4 billion from the authority's coffers. For example, Mutuku, together with another person, was in 2015 accused of hacking NIC Bank system and stealing Sh2.8 million.
