PS Omollo's children dragged in multi billion NYS scandal

Former Public Service Principal Secretary Lillian Omollo

It has now emerged that former Public Service Principal Secretary Lillian Omollo was using her children’s bank account to avert detection in the multi-billion National Youth Service corruption scandal.

According to detectives unraveling the heist, Ms. Omollo at one point made a cash deposit of Sh20 million to accounts registered to Sheela Mbogo, Stephanie Mbogo, and Shalom Kamwetu.

In a report by the Business Daily, this was conducted in the months when the grand theft at NYS was discovered.

The Asset Recovery Agency (ARA) made the revelations to the court stating: "All the accounts held at Diamond Trust Bank (DTB) are in names of the sons and daughters of Lilian Muthoni Mbogo."

“That on or about the 20th day of April 2018 … the accounts received Sh20 million suspected to be proceeds of crime or money laundering from the NYS,” the court papers read in part.
