Kethi Kilonzo forgery case proceeds to full hearing

A forgery case against Lawyer Kethi Kilonzo will now proceed to a full hearing after the Director of Public Prosecutions and the lawyer failed to settle the matter out of court.

Kethi alongside her co-accused, Godfrey Ninito Lemiso, were charged on September 2013 with stealing an Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) acknowledgement slip belonging to the National Elections Agency between November 19, 2012 and June 27, 2013.

The prosecution claims that Kethi allegedly used the Ksh.5 slip as evidence that she was lawfully registered as a voter at Ngong Forest Primary School in Nairobi County.

The lawyer also faces an additional charge of handling stolen property and presenting false documents.

Kethi allegedly produced forged documents to IEBC Returning Officer Salad Boru in Wote, Makueni County, during the nomination exercise for the by-election to replace her father, the late Senator Mutula Kilonzo.

“My Lord, my instructions are that this matter continues to a full hearing,” said prosecutor Mungai Warui on Tuesday in court.
