Father And Son In Court Over Ksh60M Fraud

A statement by the DCI indicated that on various days between July 1, 2014, and April 7, 2020, the two planned to swindle the Nairobi-based company.

Kenya Law claims that the suspect made a deal with the bank before it turned out that he had faked the paperwork to get money from the bank.

"The two who are at large are also wanted for forgery of a document, contrary to section 345 as read with section 349 of the penal code," DCI stated.

"Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is invited to volunteer it through the toll-free number 0800 722203 or the nearest police station for action," DCI added.

The two had been arraigned in court but failed to honor the summons after they were set free.

The Milimani Chief magistrate's court issued an arrest warrant for the two as a result of their disobedience.

According to the Constitution, anyone found guilty of altering any paper or electronic record faces a three-year prison sentence and is guilty of a felony offense, unless specifically stated differently.

The DCI recently sent out three detectives to the United States for a week-long advanced training in homicide investigation techniques to combat the increasing crime cases in the nation.
