National Olympics Committee-Kenya treasurer Fridah Shiroya has cooperated with investigators and she is likely to testify against her colleagues, a court has heard.
Senior principal magistrate Martha Mutuku on Monday heard that Shiroya is no longer being .
The official was being probed over her alleged involvement in the shambolic preparation and mismanagement of the country’s team at the Rio 2016 Olympics.
Senior prosecutor Duncan Ondimu said Shiroya has been giving valuable information and has cooperated fully with the police.
"Your honor, we are asking the court to dispense orders requiring her to report to the director of criminal investigation headquarters. She is likely to be a prosecution witness," Ondimu said in court.
Shiroya was being probed together with secretary general Francis Kinyili Paul, First vice-chairman Pius Ochieng' and executive officer Stephen arap Soi.
The group was booked over offences relating to abuse of office, neglect of duty and theft of kits meant for team in the Rio Olympic games held in August.

The Nock officials were arrested following pressure from the public over the manner in which the international games were managed.
While Shoroya’s file is in the final steps of being closed, Ondimu told court that investigators were yet to complete their work in the cases against Soi, Kinyiri and Ochieng'.
The lawyer said investigators required one week to complete the probe against the officials.
He accused Soi - who was the Head of Mission of Team Kenya to Rio 2016 - of failing to cooperate with investigators hence the delay.
"He is withholding information since he has failed to produce documents that are vital to this investigation," Ondimu said.
"I have accepted the application from the prosecution for an extension of one week since the case is of public interest. The three suspects will continue to be reporting at the CID headquarters as earlier directed (twice weekly). Earlier orders and conditions given by the court will remain in force until further directions," the magistrate said.
