Former PS charged with fraudulent acquisition of land

Former PS in the Ministry of Internal Security Dave Munya Mwangi has been charged with fraudulent acquisition of a parcel of land located along Mombasa road.

The incident which involved the forging of tittle deeds was discovered by DCI Land Fraud Investigators who were probing a case filed by two victims.

“In the case, the accused had jointly with two others – Sammy Louis Karanja and Moses Ojuka (former employee at the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning) – forged documents of a 1.591Ha parcel of land into the names of companies owned by Mwangi Munya, before leasing the same to a Chinese company at Sh12 million.

After perusing the case file, the ODPP made the decision to charge the three with three counts of conspiracy to defraud, uttering a false document and forgery of a title.” said DCI

Appearing at Milimani Law Courts, the former PS pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released on a bond of Sh20 million with the alternative of a cash bail of Sh5 million.

“His two accomplices, Sammy Karanja and Moses Ojuka, are at large but are being sought.” said DCI
