Ten individuals and companies have been ordered to repay Sh51.5 million obtained through a fraud and money-laundering scheme involving the County Government of Kilifi. The convictions stem from unlawful disbursement of public funds in 2016 for services never rendered.

• Sh51.5 million: The total amount defrauded from Kilifi County.
• Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC): Secured the convictions and welcomed the ruling.
• Deterrent sentences: The court emphasized the need for strong penalties despite the convicts being first-time offenders, citing the rising prevalence of corruption.
