Four company bank accounts have been frozen for allegedly conspiring to defraud City Hall of Ksh83 million.
This is after police revealed that the funds had been stolen from City Hall accounts on February 25, 2019.
Waylin General Merchants, Fidelity Telecom Services, Rayfa Construction Services and Mully Office Equipment are the companies being investigated by the police.
According to Daily Nation, the police made an application on Tuesday seeking orders to freeze the companies' bank accounts.
They also wanted to access banking statements of the Companies from October 1, 2018 to February 25, 2019 and the account opening details.
In a different case, three senior city hall officials have been released after a Nairobi court rejected an application to detain them over Ksh7.3 million fraud.
The three, Stephen Mwina Mutua (Chief Finance Officer), Johnson Akongo Abwori, his deputy and David Kimburi Wambugu (accountant) were released on a cash bail of Ksh200,000 each by Principal Magistrate Peter Ooko.
Although the police wanted the three detained for five days, the court ruled that the Prosecution had failed to table compelling reasons.
The Magistrate ordered the three to report to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) daily.
The suspects were arrested on February 25, 2019 for allegedly conspiring with the directors of Nunguni General suppliers to steal Ksh7,396,552.
