Three individuals have been charged with conspiracy to commit a felony for allegedly stealing over Ksh. 300 million from Asianic Limited by falsely claiming they could sell gold to the company.
According to the charge sheet, Frank David Kateti, Alain Mwandia Nvita Lukusa, and Daniel Otieno Ogot are accused of committing the offense on various dates between February 5 and June 13, 2024, in Nairobi County. They are charged alongside others who are not present in court.
In the second count, they face charges of obtaining money by false pretenses. Ogot is also charged with a third count of forging an East African Community certificate, claiming it was a genuine document issued by the Ministry of Mining.
The matter was brought before the court for consolidation today. However, an application to release Kateti’s passport was dismissed. All three were granted cash bail of Ksh. 500,000 each. The case is set to be mentioned on October 7 this year to confirm compliance with court directions.
