KISUMU, Kenya, Feb 3 – A Kisumu woman has been arraigned in Court for conning Kenyans more than Sh8 million.
Gladys Adhiambo Omondi appeared before Resident Magistrate Gertrude Serem in a Kisumu court and was charged with conspiracy to defraud Petronila Achieng Omondi of Sh8.9 million in June 2021 in Nyakach sub-county.
The charge sheet shows that on various dates between June 17 and July 19, 2021, Ms Adhiambo had conspired with another person not in court to falsely present tender documents belonging to British Electrical Services.
The accused was also charged with obtaining Sh8.9 million from the complainant by pretending she had won a tender from the British Engineering Service for the award of cable lines.
It was alleged that she had conspired with others not in court to obtain registration documents of a Toyota Prado vehicle valued at Sh5.5 million, the property of Sacho Motors Ltd.
Ms Adhiambo denied the charges.
The DPP through lawyers Anthony Odanda and Sylvester Thuo said that the accused had evaded arrest after committing the crime two years ago and was only arrested in Nairobi on March 1, 2023.
Her lawyers Robert Maua and Gilbert Oguso argued that there was no warrant of arrest against their client.
She was released on a Sh3 million bond and the case will be mentioned on March 15.
