According to State Lawyer, Esther Muchiri, the purchase of the units both in Kileleshwa and Ruaka was a move to launder money in short duration to avoid being caught up with the phasing out of the Ksh 1000 old notes.

Those named by the Asset Recovery Unit and whose properties and bank accounts were frozen include Muthui, EstherWagio Njunge, Grace Nyambura Ndiritu, Mercy Nyambura and Cynthia Nyambura.

Apart from just freezing the 35 flats, justice Wakiaga also ordered a halt in either selling or transferring of a house located in Nairobi Colligham Gardens, two plots in Kiambu county, a piece of land located in Dagorreti and 24 residential apartments in Ruaka.

During the court proceedings, the state argued that the accused were unable to explain the source of the money in the bank accounts and that used to purchase properties.
