US based couple, David Nyamasyo Kitonga and Monica Ndunge charged over Sh15million fraud
A US based couple was today charged before the Milimani Law courts with intent of defrauding Sh15 million.
David Nyamasyo Kitonga and Monica Ndunge Kitonga appeared before Milimani Chief Magistrate Susan Shitubi and denied the charge levelled to them
According to the charge, on the diverse dates between September 1, 2023 and October 24, 2023 at Mbiuni in Machakos county with intent to defraud, they jointly obtained from Gabriel Njenjere Chokera wooden TNG timber valued Sh15, 199 240 by falsely pretending that you were in a position to pay a fact you know to be false.
The complaint through his lawyer Henry kurauka informed the court that the two have recently opened a resort at Machakos worth over Sh1billion the money they believe is part of the alleged proceeds of crime.
Kurauka also told the court that the accused persons are fright risk and, therefore, should be granted stringent bond terms.
The accused, through their lawyer, pleaded with the court to release them with reasonable bond terms, saying that they have invested heavily and so they are not fright risk.
However, the prosecution did not oppose them being released on bail, and the court released them on a cash bail of Sh500,000 or a bond of Sh1million each.
