Eight suspects in the Sh791 National Youth Service scam have finally been charged with money laundering.
Business people Josephine Kabura and Ben Gethi appeared before Nairobi chief magistrate Daniel Ogembo alongside six others on Monday.
They denied 15 counts of money laundering and were released on Sh300,000 cash bail of Sh1 million bond each.
The eight were accused of colluding to wire the amount from NYS coffers and using part of it to purchase property through phony companies.
They allegedly committed the offences between December 1, 2014 and March 2015.
Gethi's mother Charity, his sister Jedida Wangari and one other suspect did not appear in court.
The magistrate heard that Charity was admitted at Melchizedek Hospital in Nairobi. He issued warrants for the arrest of the two.
