Zurieels together with his three counterparts, former executive director of DSL, David Ndirangu , Issac Nyakundi , a former investment manager DSL and Wilfred Mungoro , former director of DSL are required to pay a total fine of Ksh.8.4 billion or equally serve a 14-year jail term.
The anti-corruption chief magistrate Lawrence Mugambi said that the four worked together to defraud the NSSF through the purchase of ghost shared between 2004 and 2007.
