Pauline Njoroge reveals 300K was stolen from her account during government harrassment

According to blogger Pauline Njoroge, during her most recent detention, she lost Sh300,000 from her bank account.

The outspoken blogger who also serves as the deputy secretary general of the Jubilee Party claims that when she was being held in detention on August 3, 2023, around 7 p.m., she lost the money.

“The defense informed the court to put on record that on 03/08/2023 at 19:05:03 hrs there was theft of Kshs. 302,842.00 from the VISA bank account of Pauline Njoroge Njoki. Consequently, the defense also applied that an investigation be done by DCI alongside the current investigation and a report be filed in court on the grounds that; before the theft, the DCI officers were the only third parties who had actual possession and access to the said Bank Cards before the theft.”

Additionally, the Monday court hearing was conducted for mention in order to affirm the release of Ms. Njoroge’s iPhone and laptop.

The subject was to be discussed in court on Friday, August 18, 2023, so that the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) may clarify its stance and reveal the evidence.

“DPP to answer to the defense’s request for a comprehensive inquiry into the theft of Sh302,842.00 from Pauline Njoroge’s VISA account.”
