More managers who had not surrendered to police have done so this morning increasing to almost 20 those from NHIF and five from KPC.
In the NHIF case, 21 suspects are expected to take plea over allegations that Sh1billion was lost through the Jambo Pay service.
The suspects are to answer to seven charges related to deception, fraud and abuse of office.
They will also face charges of engaging in a project without prior planning, willful failure to comply with the law relating to procurement and abuse of office.
They are also accused of willful failure to comply with the law relating to management of public funds, false accounting by a public officer, deceiving a principal and fraudulent acquisition of public property.
The officials include CEO Geoffrey Mwangi, former CEO Simeon Kirgotty, Ruth Sidoi (acting corporate secretary), Mudzo Ndzili (NHIF board member) and Danson Muchemi and his M/S Webtribe Limited. The NHIF group was held at the Gigiri police cells.
Those arrested over KPC issue included Managing Director Joe Sang, Gloria Khafafa (company secretary) and Vincent Cheruyot (General Manager, Supply Chain) while Billy Aseka and Nicholas Gitobu while Samuel Odoyo is yet to surrender.
They would take plea for abuse of office, willful failure to comply with applicable procedures and law and engaging in a project without prior planning. They were being held at the Muthaiga police cells.
Detectives say KPC officials inflated the price of a petroleum jetty to Sh2 billion without plans on its usage, making taxpayers pay for what is now a white elephant project sitting on Lake Victoria.
