Kisumu United Millers directors charged in Ksh.79M fraud case

Two directors of Kisumu United Millers have been charged with conspiring to defraud a company of over Ksh. 79million through forged court documents.

On Monday, Sunil Shah and Kamal Shah pleaded not guilty to the charges of conspiracy to defraud and presenting fake documents in court in support of their case against Kotecha & Sons Limited.

The duo and several others are alleged to have lied to have lost business as United Millers Limited to their clients by failure to supply sugar.

Shah and Kamal were jointly charged alongside Henry Musyoki Kavita, Magnesh Kumar Verma, and United Millers with conspiracy to defraud B.N Kotecha and Sons Limited of Ksh. 79, 471,000 on April 2, 2015, by falsely pretending that they had lost business as United Millers Limited, to their clients, a fact they knew to be false.

They pleaded not guilty before Nairobi Chief magistrate Francis Andayi and were released on cash bail of Ksh. 400,000 each.

The case will be mentioned on May 24.
