A Narok politician was charged at a Nairobi court with conspiracy to defraud Ksh36 million.
Douglas Twala Masikonde jointly with others who were not before the court, was charged with committing the offence on diverse dates between June 1, 2021, and September 10, 2021, within the country.
The said money was the property of Barcons and Partners Limited.
The court heard that Twala used fraudulent tricks which led Barcons & Partners Limited to pay Leera Limited a total of Ksh36 million.
The said money was meant as payment for 2,500 litres of a liquid substance that was fraudulently presented as Pramitol Herbicide for onward supply to an entity fraudulently presented as Serengeti Mara Trust.
The prosecution told the court that were it not the fraudulent tricks used by the accused, the money would not have been paid leading to the loss of funds.
He appeared before the chief magistrate Bernard Ochoi and denied the charges.
