Former radio presenter Angela Angwenyi has, once again, been linked to corruption. Her name appears on the list of people whose bank accounts have been flagged in the unraveling Ksh9 billion National Youth Service scandal.
Two years ago, she was quizzed by Parliament over a previous scam at the NYS, in which she had been paid Ksh90 million. The former Kiss and Nation FM presenter is among the over 100 individuals and companies whose bank accounts will be frozen following a court order on Monday.
The order was sought by the Asset Recovery Agency, which fears that attempts to recover the stolen monies could be frustrated if the suspects transfer funds. The frozen accounts are spread across 18 banks. The full list appears below.
Angwenyi – whose frozen account is held at HFC (Housing Finance Company) – was grilled by the Public Accounts Committee in September 2016 and was hard-pressed to explain how her company had been awarded a Ksh302 million tender from the Ministry of Devolution.
The former journalist was on the spot after questions were raised by the Auditor General as to why her company — Out of the Box Solutions — had received such hefty payments from the ministry. The tender had been rewarded under the government’s Access to Government Procurement Opportunities program. The company to conduct sensitization campaigns targeting youth, women and persons with disability.
In her position as Chief Executive Officer of Out of the Box Solutions, Angwenyi told the PAC in 2016 that the company had only received 30% of the amount agreed upon, which totaled to Ksh90.7 million.
