A Nairobi businessman has been charged with fraudulently obtaining goods worth Sh7.2 million from a trader.
Samuel Maina Weru appeared before Milimani Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina where he pleaded not guilty.
The prosecution told the court Maina allegedly obtained 990 jerricans of 20 liters of somofry cooking oil and 675 cartons of Menengai bar soap, all valued at Sh7,382,880.
It is alleged that he obtained the goods from Network Four Ltd, on diverse dates between 26 November and 30 December 2024, in Nairobi county.
The charge stated that he obtained goods, jointly with others not before court, by falsely pretending that he was in a position to pay for the supplies.
He was released on bail pending hearing and determination of the criminal case.
