According to local meida, 17 people have been arrested in total and are expected to be prosecuted over the loss of 9bn Kenyan shillings ($88m) to so-called ghost suppliers.

Ms Ngirita had been contracted to supply canned beef, pineapples, beans, biscuits and hammers which she did not deliver.

She says she subcontracted another unnamed individual and does not know if anything was sent to the government in return, or the final cost.

What's more, she claims that all she had to do to become a supplier was to walk into NYS' office and ask an officer to make her one, despite not having any premises for her business.
