Sh221million fraud case against Trans-Nzoia Senator Chesang, 6 others adjourned after he absconded court session
Nairobi Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina was on Tuesday afternoon forced to adjourn court session in which Trans-Nzoia Senator Allan Chesang and six others are accused defrauding Sh221million.
Senator Chesang is accused of allegedly producing a fake purchase order worth Sh210million shillings purporting it to be from the proprietor of Makindu Motors Limited.
The case against Chesang and six others was adjourned prematurely after the senator failed to turn up for the afternoon session during the hearing of his case.
Chesang had attended the Tuesday morning session virtually from abroad could not be reached in the afternoon forcing Nairobi Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina to suspend the sittings to June.
His absence during the afternoon sitting did not augur well with the prosecution who demanded he appears in court physically.
The senator has from Monday been attending court virtually after his lawyers said he was in Switzerland for parliamentary business.
The court directed the hearing to continue from June 4 to June 7, 2024 and the senator be physically present.
