Wanjiku alias Linda Mugubi Mashaka appeared before Milimani Senior Resident Magistrate David Ndungi and pleaded not guilty.

She allegedly pretended the National Police Service had issued a tender for the supply and delivery of 200 anti-lock jam pins. The court heard that she obtained the money from Kiarie’s firm, Tecxilla Merchants.

She is also accused that on November 25, 2019 at Jogoo House ‘A’ offices along Taifa road in Nairobi, jointly with others not before court, she falsely pretended herself to the government employees and assumed to receive three anti-lock jam pins samples from Kiarie.
