Digitalent Systems director face forgery charges in vehicle transfers
A Nairobi court has heard how a company director allegedly forged documents to fraudulently acquire registration of two motor vehicles, enabling him to transfer the vehicles into his name.
During proceedings at Milimani Law Courts, Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate Teresia Nyangena heard testimony from Inspector Vincent Chilongo of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), who revealed that one of the signatures on the company documents was forged.
Inspector Chilongo, a forensic document examiner, told the court that he analyzed minutes purportedly signed by the co-director, Boniface Gichane Maina, authorizing Boris Owiye Agonga, the accused, to transfer ownership of a Land Rover Discovery (registration KDL 560Z) valued at Sh6.8 million and a Nissan Sylphy (registration KCZ 648X) valued at Sh1.2 million, both owned by Digitalent Systems Limited.
According to Chilongo, Maina denied ever holding a meeting on the transfers or signing the minutes, prompting him to report the matter to the DCI. After forensic examination, Chilongo concluded that the signatures were indeed forged.
“When I examined the three signature specimens provided, I concluded that different authors made them,” he said.
Another witness, Corporal Charles Malowa from the DCI Serious Crime Unit, traced the transactions through the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA).
He confirmed that the vehicles were transferred to Agonga on June 12, 2025, based on the minutes he allegedly forged.
Malowa also noted that the sale agreements for the vehicles were executed in 2022 and 2024, linking Agonga directly to the fraudulent transfers.
Digitalent Systems Limited is jointly owned by Agonga and Maina, each holding 450 shares.
Agonga is now facing charges of stealing by directors, making and uttering forged documents, and obtaining vehicle registration by false pretence.
The court is set to deliver its ruling on whether Agonga has a case to answer on March 18, 2026.
