UNDER SIEGE: US-based firm wants Simon Gicharu arrested and jailed for Intellectual Property-Theft. Dr. Simon N. Gicharu, the owner of Mount Kenya University, is being accused of fraud and intellectual property-theft by a US-based company.
While in Kenya, the theft of ideas is the order of the day, other countries take the crime very seriously, and intellectual property has become a core revenue stream for the taxman.
We believe that this case has merit and it will be extremely detrimental for Mr. Gicharu's MKU to be blacklisted by law-enforcement plus other international bodies concerned with University education.
