On October 13, 2021, a businessman and his company were charged before a Milimani court with obtaining goods worth more than Sh7 million through false pretenses.
Ndisya Muluu Mutua, his firm Ndisya Trading Ltd, and his wife Fridah Kambua Ndisya were charged with eight counts of fraudulently obtaining goods from Pembe Flour Mills Limited in Lunga-Lunga, Nairobi.
The court heard that between December 2, 2019, and April 1, 2021, the trio conspired to obtain goods worth Sh6,274,240 from the mill by false pretenses.
They were also accused of presenting cheques worth over Sh1 million to the mill on diverse dates between 2020 and 2021, knowing that the account had insufficient funds.
Ndisya was arrested in Kitui and taken to Nairobi, where he was released on a Sh3 million bond or alternatively pay Sh1 million cash bail.
His wife was ordered to appear in court on October 26 to take a plea.
