A company director was this week charged with stealing Ksh 2.1 million belonging to a company in a case before the Makadara Law Courts.
Christine Njeri Wanjiru appeared before trial magistrate Juliana Ndengeri on Friday, August 28, 2026, and was charged with stealing by director, contrary to Section 282 of the Penal Code.
The charge sheet states that the offence was committed on diverse dates between June 15 and August 11, 2026, at an unknown location within Kenya.
The prosecution told the court that Wanjiru, being a director of the company, fraudulently stole Ksh 2.1 million belonging to the firm.
Wanjiru was arrested on August 27, 2026, and presented before the court on August 28.
During the bail hearing, the prosecution asked the court to consider the amount involved when determining her release terms and urged the magistrate to take into consideration the circumstances of the case.
Wanjiru denied the charge and was released on a Ksh 1 million bond or a cash bail of Ksh 1 million.
The case will be mentioned on December 2, 2026.
