The troubles facing former Judiciary Chief Registrar Gladys Shollei appear to be far from over, after the anti-corruption watchdog recommended that she be charged, for the second time, over corruption.
The
Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has confirmed for
prosecution a second case against the former Judiciary boss, who
fatheced several accusations over corruption at the time of her sacking.
According to files, EACC Chief Executive Officer Halakhe Waqo has forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) recommendations that Ms Shollei and seven of her former colleagues at the Judicial Service Commission face charges over alleged irregular payment of Sh46 million for construction of a court, whose work did not take off.
The payment was made to M/s Timsales, a construction company, for the Mavoko law courts.
But
the contractor appeared to have left the site, despite having received
full payment from Ms Shollei, on behalf of the Judiciary.
The
file against the former judiciary boss was one of the three of high
profile individuals Mr Waqo forwarded to DPP Keriako Tobiko at the
weekend, recommending their prosecution over corruption and abuse of
office.
