A Nairobi Court yesterday issued a warrant of arrest against Muranga County Assembly Member Peter Mburu Muthoni for failure to appear in court to answer fraud charges.
The politician, who is allied to Jubilee Party and has represented Kagundui-ini Ward if accused of obtaining Sh 2.2million from Alice Peninah Wanjiku by pretending that he was in a position to sell her an Isuzu truck.
The offence was allegedly committed between June 18 and 29, last year, at Pioneer House in Nairobi using the name of Solomon Kamau Nyingi. He is facing five other charges, including forging a court order.
Mburu, who is out on Sh2million cash bail, is alleged to have presented a fraudulent courter order to Wanjiku purporting it was issued by the Milimani Commercial Court for the attachment and sale of personal property. He is alleged to have falsely introduced to Wanjiku as Solomon Kamau Nyingi.
