Four former officials of the Kenya Union of Saving and Credit Cooperative (Kucco) have been charged with stealing Sh82.8 million from the firm even as security agencies intensified a manhunt for other suspects implicated in a Sh13.3 billion fraud.

Jackline Atieno Omolo, a former Kuscco legal officer, was on Thursday jointly charged with George Magutu Mwangi (former national chairman), George Ochola Owino (former finance manager), and Mercy Muthoni Njeru (head of radio project) before Milimani senior principal magistrate Dolphina Alego.
