BY IRENE ONYANGO.
A woman caused a stir in a Nairobi court after denying a man in the dock accused of defrauding her.
Erica Kakile Mwania shot up in court and dismissed submissions by Tolbert Kemboi Chelogoi’s lawyer that the accused and the complainant were a man and his spouse.
Kemboi is charged with falsely obtaining Sh20 million from Kakile
Kemboi was accused of defrauding Kakile the money between 5th October 2022 and the 27th July 2023 at Nairobi.
The charge sheet stated that with intent to defraud, he obtained Sh 20,096,00 from Kakile by falsely pretending that he was in a position to get a large amount of money in an offshore bank account that would benefit her.
He denied the charge before Milimani Chief Magistrate Bernard Ochoi.
While applying for lenient bail terms, Kemboi through his lawyer stated that the Kakile is his spouse and they have been living together.
But the woman dismissed the claims.
The court ordered him to deposit a bond of Sh3 million plus one surety or an alternative cash bail of Sh 500,000 to secure his release.
