A businesswoman whose account was frozen over suspicion of being used as a conduit for funds stolen in a dams scandal wants the court to allow her access her money.

Shelmith Njeri Mwangi claims she only received money from the Italian company contracted to build the Arror and Kimwarer dams, CMC Di Ravenna, to produce business cards for the firm’s managers and that she had nothing to do with the money allegedly siphoned from the project.
