Tycoon Mohan Galot released on Ksh.500K cash bail in forgery case

Businessman Mohan Galot was on Monday arraigned in a Nairobi court to answer to nine charges of making false documents and giving false information.

Appearing before Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate Peter Ooko, the tycoon denied all the charges and was released on a cash bail of Ksh.500,000.

Galot is accused that on January 18, 2002, he made a false document notifying change of directors and secretaries at King Woollen Mills Limited Company “with intent to defraud and without lawful authority.”

He is also accused that on March 28, 2002 at Sheria house, he knowingly gave false information to the registrar of companies claiming that Pravin Galot and Rajesh Galot had resigned as directors of the above stated company on January 4, 2001.

The businessman was further charged that on or about May 18, 2007, he made a false document citing the annual returns for the year 2006 of King Woolen Mills Limited Company purporting it to be a genuine document made by the company’s directors with intent to defraud and without lawful authority.

The tycoon, who is also facing other cases in other courts, was charged after High Court Judge Luka Kimaru directed that the case before trial court commence immediately.

The matter will be mentioned on April 18, 2019.
