High Court Justice Hedwig Ong'undi ordered the NYS scandal suspect to withdraw only Sh2 million shillings for her personal expenses.

Rachel Ruto is no stranger to making bold yet elegant fashion statements, but during the state visit of the Dutch royals on March 18, 2025, it wasn’t just her outfit that stood out—it was her shoes. The Kenyan First Lady stepped out in a pair of brown suede block heels adorned with a gold emblem.

She broke down the amount as Sh150,000 to service a loan at KCB, school fees amounting to Sh5.2 million, more school fees for three dependants of Sh139,800 and payment of domestic workers of Sh219,000.

Other expenses included upkeep for elderly parents (Sh150,000), utility bills (Sh102,079), fuel and maintenance of vehicles (Sh449,000), food (Sh150,000) and incidentals (Sh210,000).

Lillian Omollo told to adjust her lifestyle

"There is a lot of room for her to adjust her lifestyle to fit into her current financial status given that there is high public interest in the money from NYS which led her to be charged with a criminal offense, and which cannot just be wished away," Justice Ong'undi ruled on Friday.
