A Nairobi businessman has been charged with fraudulently obtaining Sh30.4 million by claiming he was in position to supply sugar.
Issadin Gabane Mohamed appeared before Milimani Chief Magistrate Wendy Kagendo and denied the charges
Gabane and his company Primepile logistics ltd are accused of obtaining Sh30.4 million between January 23 and 25 this year with intent to defraud.
The court heard that he obtained the money from businesswoman Jackqueline Christy Akinyi Kinywa by falsely pretending that he was in position to supply her with 6000×50 kilograms of sugar, a fact he knew was false.
He was released on a bond of Sh3 million or alternative cash bail of Sh1 million each pending hearing and determination of his fraud case.
Prosecution told the court that four witnesses will be testifying in the trial.
