On August 3, 2019, police in Nairobi launched an investigation into a case involving a woman who used a suspicious logbook to obtain money from a Nairobi businessman and Mwanainchi Credit Limited.
According to police sources, the woman presented a cheque worth half a million shillings to the businessman in exchange for the logbook, claiming it was a surety for a tender to supply goods at Safaricom Foundation and Tharaka Nithi County.
However, the businessman was surprised to discover that the woman had given bouncing cheques to Mwanainchi Credit using the same logbook, raising suspicions about the authenticity of the logbook.
Investigations are ongoing to determine which of the two logbooks is genuine, with police consulting with the National Transport Authority.
The woman is also being investigated for allegedly having a cartel at Mwanainchi Credit that she uses to fleece unsuspecting members of the public.
