A State agency has opposed the release of millions of shillings belonging to a student that were frozen last month, arguing that the 21-year-old Felesta Nyamathira Njoroge has not proven that she will undergo hardship if her bank accounts are not unblocked.
Ms Njoroge received the $914,967 (about Sh102 million) from her Belgian boyfriend, Marc De Mesel, in August in instalments and Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) obtained an order freezing the money, suspecting it to be proceeds of crime and obtained a court order blocking her accounts for 90 days.
