Blow to former Youth Affairs principal Secretary Lilian Omollo who has failed to convince the High Court to change orders that freezed her accounts for her to withdraw about sh 6.8 million quarterly in repayment of loans among other bills
Justice Hedwig Ong’udi, however has directed Ms Omollo to withdraw only Sh2 million from one of the accounts that were frozen last year.
In the decision, Justice Ong’udi said things were not the same for the former PS after she was charged in court.
The judge said Ms Omollo owns a productive farm that can provide for her family’s needs.
“There is a lot of room for the 1st applicant to adjust her lifestyle to fit her current financial status,” the judge said and directed that case on the forfeiture of the funds frozen by Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) fast tracked.
