The governor had petitioned the Anti-Corruption Court as he sought access to Sh500 million stashed in accounts held by the State. According to the judge, the orders issued by Justice Luka Kimaru in February this year were within the law. “I find the orders sought to be set aside and the proceedings sought to be struck out and dismissed were properly filed and orders issued regularly and ought not to be struck out or set aside,” she ruled. According to the ARA, an analysis of the governor’s accounts reveals a clear case of smurfing. In this way, banks cannot detect or suspect that those making deposits are connected to the owner of the account.
